And so we do tend to over-consume these oils.

Absolutely.

I believe so, because it's very easy to kind of villainize them because they're in all of these foods that we would recommend people to consume less of.

Right.

But which is a very different way to consume them than if you're just doing what my mother in law does, who's from Romania, who just uses, you know, corn oil or seed oils in her stir fries.

Right.

Or whatever food she's cooking, which which we would argue is is a healthful way to use those oils.

I think that we all kind of understand that we have an issue in our country with chronic disease, that we see chronic disease rates increasing and we see more than half the country having some sort of chronic disease.

And so we all kind of understand the issue.

And I think when you can point to something like seed oils, then I think that that's easy for people to kind of understand.

And they're like, yes, let's get the seed oils out.

And it's an easy swap, right?

So if you tell somebody we can switch,

seed oils out and put beef tallow in and you can still eat fast food french fries and be fine, that's an easier sell for people than saying, hey, we should probably eat less french fries.

Yeah, I think food dyes is a really good other example.

So these synthetic food dyes that we have, we have five of them that are really prevalent in the food supply.

So red 40, blue 1, blue 2, yellow 5, and yellow 6.

Those are the five.

They've all been deemed safe by the FDA.

They've all been deemed safe by EFSA in the European Union.
