And more is gonna be discovered in Discovery, which I'm so excited about because when I read the lawsuit, it was over, I don't know, 150 pages or something.
And when I read it, it was like a horror movie because it showed, even though it was in the exact pictures of what kind of technology they use to addict our taste buds and our senses to food, they showed the types of technology and the brain nodes that they actually attach to rats and to humans and to... Yeah, well, people understand the dopamine system pretty well now.
So that's where the moral dilemma comes in, right?
38%?
12 to 18 years old.
It used to be zero, right? We have to look at what's happening in the food supply. We have to hold someone accountable for it or create some type of regulation or change that would prevent this from continuing to go down into the dumps, which is where we're headed because right now we're last when it comes to- Okay, let me ask you another question.
Yeah.
And I mean, you can say that I'm doing both in a way because I'm an activist on one side, but I also am a cookbook writer on the other, right? I've written two cookbooks where I'm teaching people how to make things faster with real food in the house that doesn't take all day, right? Right, right.
But the problem is the way our nutritional science gets divvied to the public and decimated to the public, it's riddled with conflicts of interest. It creates a situation where, for example, you have these studies that come out and they say candy actually makes kid athletes better at their sports. you know, this was a headline that went out, right?
And it was a study funded by Mars and, you know, the company who makes M&Ms and the other American candy companies. Well, these studies come out not because they, like, we're going to believe them and we're going to call out the bullshit for them, but it makes it so that when a mother is in the line at a grocery store,
and their child is tugging at their skirt, grabbing those M&Ms and wanting to put them in the cart, they say, oh, it's really not that bad, right? It makes that situation so that they feel okay doing it. And that's...
how probably 90% of the information that gets sent out to the American public through media, through marketing, through magazines, through wherever we're listening, TV is happening when it comes to food. The real information about how our food is full of chemicals and has been designed to make us overeat is not getting out.
And so when you make such an interesting argument, and I love that you've delved deep into the psychology behind this, because it is true that the food companies want to make their food delicious.
They are delicious. I mean, of course, because, but is it an unfair advantage to an American, to a human being, that a company can have that kind of technology, a robot that has taste buds.
Right?
We can't compete with that.
Mothers can't compete with that. We don't even stand a chance up against that science because they're creating the one millionth best part of a taste. You know, the reason why nature is so... important for a child to eat at a very young age and allows them to become a less picky child is because, take a blueberry. Sometimes they're mealy. Sometimes they're hard. Sometimes they're juicy.
Sometimes they're plump. Sometimes they're small. Sometimes they're big. It's different every time you have a blueberry. Whereas if you go and get a blueberry Nutri-Grain bar or some other cereal, it's the exact same time every single time. And then
They're using the one millionth best part of a taste in a flavor component that they call natural flavor on the label, which could mean a thousand different chemicals. And if your kid grows up on that, they're going to be picky and hate real food, and they're going to end up in that 38% pre-diabetes situation that we have right now with preteens.
Whereas if you start your child on blueberries, real blueberries... they're going to have a chance, right? And so we have to hit it from both sides. We have to hold the food companies accountable.
