No, no, you're not. But I think what you're experiencing in this country, nutrition is expensive, but calories are cheap. Yes. So you can go out and buy a bunch of junk, and it's cheap, but it's not nutritious. But you try to go to the farmer's market and buy great produce and stuff, it's very expensive. Right. So that's part of the problem here with this country.

OK, it's no, it can't. It's it's it's complicated because it's, you know, the average person who who doesn't really quite understand what they will subsidize subsidize fruits and vegetables. You really can't do that. There's really no subsidies for fruit and vegetables. There's subsidies for corn and soy. That's about it.

And the subsidies are in there about crop insurance and not insurance the way we know insurance. Just it's just guarantees a price. Sure. So some people say that maybe what we can do is if you put enough research and development behind figuring out ways to grow more fruits and vegetables on the same acreage, then actually you'll have more in the system and prices will come down.

But that's not happening. That's not happening. No, no. The government looks at fruits and vegetables and they're actually labeled specialty crops. They don't pay attention to them at all.

No, but what is American food? Because when you came to America, you thought you were eating American food, but what were you?

But in restaurants, you'll find something different. Sure. So it all depends.

Because everyone wants me in their restaurant. As your economic... As your economics changed, you started going to better restaurants, and all of a sudden the food got better, right? Yeah. So the system works exactly the way it's set up to work. I'm not saying this is a good system, but it's set up where if you have money, it works. If you don't, you struggle.
