I had so much this year. So... So, yeah, I'm in a fortunate position where because of my hobby, I have access to that. But I don't tell people to fixate on that, right? I mean, if you don't have access to farm-to-table, you can still go and buy at your grocery store grass-fed. You can spend a little more and go grass-fed instead of grain-fed. And I think that's a worthwhile trade.

You can still spend a little bit more and say, look, I'm going to opt into something that's organic that has embed fan antibiotics without having to go all the way to farm-to-table. But if you live in an area... where you can find a local farmer and say, look, I'm going to commit to half a cow this year with my family or, you know, a quarter cow or whatever is typically how they'll do it.

Yeah, so again, the term studies obviously is pretty broad. So if you look at most nutrition research that's trying to answer the questions that I think people want to know, they aren't actually funded by industry. They're typically funded by NGOs. They're funded by NIH. And, you know, The list of people who's going to be more critical of NIH than me is not a very long list.

I've been quite critical of things that the NIH has done, in my view, not correctly. Also, you could argue maybe I'm conflicted. I did my fellowship, my postdoctoral fellowship at the NIH, so I spent two years there. And so I know the merits of NIH. It's a remarkable system that gives the United States an insane competitive advantage in biomedical research.

Like, no other country on the planet has what we have access to, right? So we talk about things like, why is the US military so far superior to every military on the planet? Is there a second place? The gap between the US and everybody else is so enormous. And a big part of it comes down to investment. And I would say the same is true from a biomedical research perspective.

Nobody can even invest a quarter of what we invest in this.
