And the title is Food Emancipation, Unshackling America's Sustenance.

Absolutely.

And I want to present these arguments as an idea, as a liberty, freedom-oriented idea to what has been—the foodies, the food, the environmental food movement, if we just broadly—environmental food movement has been on the liberal side of the spectrum.

And the problem is, wonderful people, and of course, I have deep, deep friendships all through that realm.

But the thought that we can beat...

that we can beat the oligarchy with freedom and not with a bigger government agency, a bigger government hammer, never enters their mind.

The answer is always, you know, and I agree.

I don't know who said it.

You probably know some famous said that the only way there can be a monopoly is

is with collusion with the government.

In a free market, monopolies can't exist because there are too many eager beavers yapping at the heels of an outfit.

And so I tend to agree with that.

And so if we want to chip away, if we want to actually...

you know, create movement, a pathway of entry for new young farmers, which enables an exit for old farmers, a pathway into healthy food by people who want to get healthy food, and to chip away at the power of the oligarchy.

The answer is liberty.

The answer is open up the market for all these friends of mine, plus me, that are chafing at the bit to just offer an alternative to the oligarchy to our friends and neighbors, people at church.

Thank you.

Yeah.

One of my previous books written 15 years ago is the title is Everything I Want to Do is Illegal.

And that articulates many of the frustrations that we've got abandoned about today.
