Did I miss something? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, it's certainly more than the plant-based milks. This is all over the place. So you have to really start to pay attention.

Exactly, yes. And there's got to be workarounds that we'll figure out. We'll talk about that. I think the simple of the emulsifiers is we all know what happens when you add oil to water, right? They separate out. What if you wanted to blend those together and keep them blended together so they wouldn't separate out? That's what the emulsifiers are doing.

Yeah, and that is a beautiful thing. And as a consumer, it's actually not that complicated to figure this out because if you flip it over and look at the ingredient list, if you recognize everything on that ingredient list, you're in a good spot.
