And I still remember it. So I'm like, this is so weird. Because I was here last Christmas and that pickle was right there. So something tells me I shouldn't bring this up and eat it. But it made so much sense. They didn't have preservatives and they didn't have the thickening agents and a lot of these artificial ingredients.

And so they preserved them naturally through the fermentation process, which actually made them more healthy. And, you know, like fermented vegetables, one of the healthiest things you can put in your body. I try to eat a lot of kimchi and sauerkraut and get the soluble and insoluble fibers. But, you know, I think we've modernized things. And I don't think that we got here overnight.

I don't think so either. I wonder if you might talk about that a little bit. And I wanna go into some of the chemicals specifically like glyphosate. We hear about these things, but we don't really know how do they get into our food supply? Why are they in our food supply? Is there some kind of sinister profit motive behind it? And if so, what can we do to address it?
