So from my perspective, those things, the fact that I don't eat meat is not really a part of my platform. At least I don't feel that way because I'm not telling people that you have to be completely devoid of meat in order to be healthy.

And I don't think people should feel bad about eating meat because that's not what my platform is about at all. Right. Right. So, but I think that like if you take a step back, if you put yourself into my shoes, I take a step back and I go, hold on. Look at the health benefits that come from fiber. Look at the way in which this can power our microbiome, right?

And here we are, and 95% of America is deficient in fiber. And if we're going to say, okay, what kind of changes do we want to make on a public health level that can improve the health of America? We need to start with the things that are missing. So if you make your platform about something that people are already doing, what's the point?

If I want to actually pull a lever that can impact a person's health, really the most powerful lever is going to be the one that's a combination of a powerful tool that simultaneously they're not doing. So I think there's diminishing returns that exist where if a person's already exercising heavily, you can tweak those approaches. You can make them better. You can make them more efficient.

But you're not going to get the benefits that you would get in the way that you would if you take a person who's sitting on the couch and you get them up and moving. So I think that's a big part of also sort of laying the framework of the way that I approach these things is that people are not eating plants. The average American is 10% plant-based. People are not eating plants.

People are not consuming fiber. And here are these foods that have an opportunity to really power our health. And it doesn't need to go from 10% to 100%. It could go from 10% to 60% or 70%. And I'm in a super good place because I think you're going to feel the benefit from that regard.
