the chemicals that have entered the food supply are largely there only for one reason. And they're not to improve nutrition or improve our health. They're actually just there to improve the bottom line of the food industry. Because we live in a capitalistic society and our government doesn't really regulate the food system like we think they should or we are under the assumption that they are.

I mean, there's this underlying assumption, I believe, along with a lot of people that the FDA is this big, you know, big, huge part of government that's independently testing all of these different chemicals and overseeing all of these food companies and what they're producing and what they're putting in the food supply. But they don't have the manpower to do it.

They've never had the manpower to do it. And they don't usually act unless they're sued by a third party organization or a nonprofit or that sees some issue with some of these chemicals. And so, you know, you see right now there's big lawsuits happening. There was one very big lawsuit that happened actually with artificial flavors.

There were seven artificial flavors that were linked to cancer, many of them found in every single candy that kids eat. And it took organizations like the NRDC and others to point this fact out to the FDA to finally get them banned. But they gave these companies two to four years to make these changes.

So we're just going to allow these chemicals that cause cancer in our food for two to four years, even though it's been proven that they cause cancer. And so... It's, you know, we are in a situation where we don't have a lot of regulation around the food system. And once you understand that, that we don't have the regulation.

And the worst part is when things are banned like trans fats, food companies find other chemicals that act the same way as trans fats. So one chemical that you'll see in tons of bakery bread products and other things that have to stay on the shelf for a really long time is monodiglycerides. That is actually a minute amount of trans fats in every single product.
