But in general, I think you can eat healthfully at any age.

grocery store in America, if it's got any kind of variety, you just have to know what to choose and know how to pick.

But it asks a lot of the customer.

Well, I think it would start with transforming our agricultural production system to one that was focused on food for people instead of animals and automobiles.

We would need to change our electoral system so that we could elect officials who were interested in public health rather than corporate health.

We would need to fix our economy so that Wall Street—

favors corporations who have social values and public health values as part of their corporate mission.

Those are revolutionary concepts at this point because they seem so far from what is attainable.

But I think if we don't work on that now, if we don't do what we can to advocate for a better food system, we won't get it.

And it's only if we advocate for it that we have a chance of getting it.

And you never know.

Sometimes you get lucky.

Well, I tell people that they can't do it on their own.

You know, that even the act of going into a grocery store and trying to make healthy choices means that you as an individual are up against an entire food system that is aimed at getting you to eat the most profitable foods possible.

regardless of their effects on health and the environment.

So you have to join organizations.

You have to join with other people who are interested in the same issues and concerned about the same problems and get together with them to set some goals for what you'd like to do and then work towards those goals.

Because if you don't do it, who will?

Thank you.

I can't work with him why?
