You know, what we're doing is we're creating, we have a food system in the United States now that's 70% ultra-processed in the diet of kids. And thousands of ingredients that are banned in other countries that we have all over the U.S. food supply, including these petroleum-based dyes.

You know, the food companies make two versions of their cereal, one for Americans with the petroleum-based dyes and one for Canadians without and, you know, and Europeans without. Mm-hmm. And so what are we doing? We are drugging our nation's kids at scale for behavioral problems, for depression, for autoimmune diseases, for diabetes, for obesity.

And no one is talking about the ultra processed food. So we are we now have this Maha Commission report that is taking a hard look at that and sets our agenda.

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.
