I've been fighting. I used to be 280. I was able to bring it down already to 215. I went up. Right now I'm in 245. But I'm going to bring it down to 210, and I'm never, never going back because I own it to myself, to my wife, to my children. I own it because, in a way, as chefs, we are also an example. And I'm not going back. I'm not overweight because junk food.
I'm not overweight because fast food. I'm not overweight because sodas. I'm overweight because I eat too much. Because the food I eat is very good food. You can get fat on carrots and gazpacho too. Sure. So we leave this conundrum, right? We have... People that are poor right now, that used not to happen, and if you were poor, you were skinny, and maybe you were hungry.

And now we are in this situation that you have people that are poor, and it's difficult to explain, and it seems that they're overweight. Because the food they are able to buy is very cheap because it's all this junk food, you say, and that's part of the problem. And they are not only overweight but unhealthy because they're bad calorie, bad quality food because they cannot afford anything else.

And sometimes it's not only about affording. It's because they don't have access to anything else. And there goes again about one of the big conversations. Food is a superpower. Right. And it's a superpower the governments need to use for the betterment of the lives of their citizens. And goes beyond putting food on the plate.

Goes beyond making sure that... When I tell every American when I speak in every state, red or blue, urban areas or rural areas, every time I say every American children deserves to be fed, and no American family should be poor and hungry ever again. Everybody claps. This is the truth that brings everybody together. Yes. And you could argue why we have people who are poor or hungry.

And then we talk, okay, and what is the role of government making sure that we don't have poor and hungry? If we have a government, I would say in part is to make sure that we take care of the less privileged and the poor and the hungry and the ones that lose their jobs and the veterans that come back home and they are... I think we need to have government for that.
