I also worked on global health and trying to improve the health of women and children.

And one of the other things I did is I collaborated with Sam Cass and others to try to do better on our nutrition policy.

So one of the things Sam and I did was to open the White House farmer's market about a block and a half from the White House.

And we worked together.

to get fresh fruits and vegetables right in the center and heart of Washington, D.C.

And the first lady opened it, and it was very successful.

I also worked on revising the food pyramid, which had become, I think, fair to say, incoherent, and substituting the food plate that I think is much clearer advice.

We worked and tried to get...

food companies to put labels on the front about how much sugar, how much salt and other things.

We didn't succeed in that.

But I was very interested in food policy.

And I have I have a long interest in cooking and food.

I was a pop up kitchen, a breakfast chef for a few times.

So that's one strand sort of.

So

Long strand of interest in food policy.

The second thing is I was at a meeting, I want to say four years ago, three years ago, something like that.

And Arianna Huffington asked me a question, why don't we have more focus on wellness?

And I said, well, you know, first of all, wellness is pretty simple.
