Okay, good.
So in the U.S.
at least, we can look at the Healthy Eating Index.
2020 is the most up-to-date ones that we have.
They have a separate one for children over age two and then another one for toddlers.
Okay.
But all across the board, we fail to align with any version of dietary guidelines for Americans.
Okay?
Yeah.
Our standard American diet, which you can abbreviate as SAD, is indeed, it's pretty bad, right?
Yeah, yeah.
The mean healthy eating index scores for the total population was 56 out of 100.
Goal is 100.
Okay.
And toddlers, it's 63 out of 100.
So toddlers are doing a bit better, which is shocking to me based on my toddlers.
It's not great.
Yeah.
Probably my kid is much less than that.
That's an average, right?
