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 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.

Yeah, and now it's like 20% of kids, one in five kids will have diabetes or prediabetes or early insulin resistance of teens. And so what are we doing? We've got to stop. Sometimes we're engaging as a medical profession in the over-medicalization of ordinary life.
