There's nothing wrong with having blueberries in a smoothie. I'm not saying no fruit. I'm just saying don't make it like a banana and banana and orange smoothie and that's it.

I think juicing vegetables is completely fair game. The only issue that I have with juicing is that I see juicing. So in a world where 95% of Americans are deficient in fiber, It's hard for me to sit there and watch us remove the fiber and throw it in the trash can, right? That's my issue with juicing. Do I think that there's value to that compared to drinking Diet Coke? Of course.

Yeah, of course. But I really want to make sure that people are taking care to not discard that part. There's still some fiber in there, and there's also other phytochemicals in there. But I just want to make sure that people are not taking that— you know, tremendous value that exists from the whole food and then discarding it in the process.

So to me, if you can find the proper balance in your diet, I think of juicing as conceptually very similar to supplements, which is like optimize your diet, take it as far as you can take it. And then here's this thing that you can do to optimize it a little bit further, right? Which can be supplements or adding some juicing.

So basically it's the S's. Smoothies, soups, salads, sauces. All right, all of these different things basically can become a vehicle for variety. But the issue though, to be honest with you, Andre, is that this has to be self-motivated.

Because when you step into your supermarket, statistically, 75% of the plant-based calories in your supermarket come from three plants. So that's wheat, corn, and soy. And it's not to completely vilify those things. I think edamame is an incredibly healthy thing for a person to snack on. It's more so like soy nuggets. What is that?

So if you want variety, the food system will not provide this for you. You have to take it upon yourself. And I see this as when you're in the supermarket thinking about what can I do to get more variety? Part of this is like expanding and grabbing new stuff, something that you've never tried before. Grab the dragon fruit, see what happens, right?
