We know that ADHD is driven by all these food dyes and stuff, and that's very well documented.
But there's all of these, you go on the internet and you look for studies that show what happens when you change the food in prisons and juvenile detention facilities.
And they, you know, they'll put it in one wing of the prison, they'll put good food, and then they'll put the standard food in the other.
And the level of violence goes down by 40, 45, 50%.
The use of restraints in juvenile detention facilities goes down 75%.
The number of incidents dramatically drops.
And so it's a public safety issue in the prisons.
And, you know, I've been meeting now with all the prisons.
Prisons have a real problem because they're allocated โ the state prisons are allocated 60 cents a day to feed the prisoners.
And it's all โ for them it's all about shelf life.
So they're just feeding them the worst kind of poison that you could possibly โ it's all just chemicals.
It's guard safety.
Of course, yeah.
And the other thing, and the answer to your first question...
about how do you sort of, you know, mitigate the polarization.
I would say the only way that you do that is by getting people to start talking to each other.
Because that, you've got to be able to find common ground with other people.
And if you don't talk to them, you don't see their humanity.
And, you know, that's one of the things that you do that is so great, which is you bring a lot of people on here who you disagree with, and you have a civil conversation about them, and you...
you show your curiosity about them and you get to hear their rationale.
