But we're doing this big experiment on the population because of diseases that really are preventable.
If we do the things that we've long known we need to do, like restricting junk food marketing to kids, figuring out ways to make healthy food more accessible.
Actually, it enrages me as a person who struggled with my weight before, like this realization that this was preventable.
I didn't have to suffer like that.
And like the kids who are now going through this now, they don't have to suffer like this.
But we've never done enough.
But which people?
I feel like this is changing.
OK, no, but I think things are the politics of this are changing.
I think like more and more people are raising kids with diseases like diabetes and fatty liver.
And they're aware that this is caused by the food environment.
And I feel like that the politics there is shifting.
But we've never done the inversion of our food environment that we need to do.
It's going to take many, many levers to really see an impact.
And that really hasn't been done.
But I think one thing that I'm talking about and that we write about in the book, it's not about taking people's fried chicken or their M&Ms away.
It's about making a food environment where the healthy options are as accessible as the unhealthy stuff.
And so I'm living now in France, and obviously the politics are completely different.
There's no shortage of chocolatiers, of places where I can buy croissant, brioche, like all these things that I know I shouldn't be eating every day.
But as accessible are the healthy options.
