I don't know of any that do both, but maybe you're thinking of Monsanto is owned by Bayer, the drug company. Monsanto that makes pesticides is owned by Bayer. Yeah. But I think a lot of people look at this stuff and they're just like, can't we just get back to whole foods, like things that grow out of the earth? So we're doing a lot on foods at the FDA.
USDA does a lot of the organic inspections and FDA also, but I think it's good to generally move towards less chemicals in the diet. I think it's just a good thing. I think it's good for kids. It's not a perfect label, but it does indicate that there are far less chemicals or sometimes even no chemicals in the food. Right. Okay.

Look, maybe we need to treat more back pain with ice and physical therapy than just surgery and opioids. Maybe we need to treat more high blood pressure by talking about the quality of somebody's sleep instead of just throwing antihypertensives after antihypertensives at people. And maybe we need to talk about food as medicine and the microbiome. And that includes, we have to look at everything.

And that means, can we take a different approach to some patients with diabetes. Can we not just treat them with insulin and metformin and all the drugs I've been prescribing my entire career at Johns Hopkins and talk about root causes and get them fresh, healthy foods and get them educated on a lot of these issues instead of the misinformation of the food pyramid the government has propagated?

And can we talk about things like cooking classes instead of just treating people? We have a reactionary health care system. Yes. purely throwing medication and operations at people. I mean, that is almost 99% of it. And we need to be not just reactionary, but proactive. And that's what the Maha Commission report outlines. It looks at everything. It looks at light exposure in children.

It looks at microplastics, talks about pesticides, talks about ultra processed food being 70% of the child's diet today. Something is going on and no one has a good explanation. 40% of kids now have a chronic disease. And half our nation's kids are sick in some way. Forty percent of chronic disease.

ADHD, depression, diabetes, obesity, something we call insulin resistance, which is sort of early diabetes or prediabetes. If you take five college students and they all look thin as a rail, just like you do, like healthy and healthy. Probably two of them has early insulin resistance. Wow. And that is because it may not manifest at that young age where the body is very resilient.

But we've got to talk about it. So we can't just feed bad food to our nation's children, drug them at scale, and blame them for their sickness. That's what we do. We blame kids for being sick subconsciously.
