It made me think 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: about the video series that we've been doing this week, 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: which is all about food additive. So we've got some 32 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: we were doing some a little weird. We have two 33 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: classic episodes this week because we've got some vacations in 34 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: our future. Well, I've got a vacation in my future. 35 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Ben Ben Ben doesn't get to leave everybody, 36 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: uh and I usually don't either, but I finally, finally 37 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: am escaping. Right, Yeah, we should. We'll we'll talk about that, 38 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: uh a little bit after. I don't want to sour 39 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: the experience. We'll talk about okay, return, but but yes, 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: food the Fooie is crazy. Process, food is crazy. This 41 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: season needs salt. I feel like I got a weird, 42 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, uh, prophecy or she read my fortune or something. Yeah, 43 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: she knew, and she knew you were going to be 44 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: doing this too. So a lot of times you'll be 45 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: looking at your food labels. We all do this, uh well, 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: not as much as we should, but we do do 47 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: it every once in a while, and you'll just you'll 48 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: see that there are more chemicals, more words with names 49 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: on them that you just have no idea what the 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: heck it is. Unless you're a chemistry major or work 51 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: in a lab somewhere, you probably don't even know what 52 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: these different comp hounds are. Right, Yeah, sodium benz a 53 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: weight huh mono sodium glutamate. Right, sounds delicious and that 54 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: stuff really is, though I know it's exactly what it is, 55 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: just delicious in a powder rite some long name that 56 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: sounds a little bit more like somebody randomly playing on 57 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: the alphabet than it does like an actual word. Much 58 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: less food, and a lot of us, as you said, 59 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: don't seek these ingredients out. One thing that is so 60 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: strange about the modern world is that we have easier 61 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: access to food now than at any point. And now, 62 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are gonna say, but wait, guys, 63 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: clearly starvation and famine are huge problem. That is, that 64 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: is true. But overall, if you look at the human 65 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: population as a whole, the way it works out is 66 00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: just a strange and in some places, uh, mainly counterintuitive 67 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: availability of food. Yeah, it's a strain. I don't know. 68 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: I feel like Hunger Games got it right with their allegory. 69 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: They're um, just with the capital that has so much 70 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: food that they're throwing up so that they can eat 71 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: more and than other places there's nothing um. But you're right. 72 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: Over overall, if you take a wine, enough of you Yeah, 73 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: it's good. Sorry, I'm just thinking about that now, about 74 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: how many people don't have any food. And then I'm 75 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: sitting here thinking about the additives and complaining about them, 76 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: and weirdly, you know, of course, this is a sidebar 77 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: we should throw in here, Matt. Obesity is a huge 78 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: threat in developing countries. And you can be starving while 79 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: appearing OBEs. Oh yeah, because you can still be deprived 80 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: of the actual vitamins, minerals and other substances that you 81 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: need to have a working body. Oh and before we 82 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: go any further, this all has turned into some long 83 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: segue because we're just we're just talking, right. I think 84 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: that's I like though, Yeah, it feels more natural. Um. 85 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: My name is Ben. Everybody, sorry about that, And my 86 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: name is Matt. And we also have Nolan the house. Uh. 87 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: He's got his arms up. He's elated to be recording 88 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: and editing at the same time. He's thinking about all 89 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: the wonderful music shows he'll be playing later on in 90 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: the week. Fantastic musician. He's the DJ Baboo to our 91 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: evidence and r Science, the Spinderella to our salt and pepper. 92 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, that's a dated reference and really nice. 93 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: Uh So, but anyway, that's us. And as we were 94 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: talking about, UM, we need to outline something very important here. 95 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: We are all from the United States. Uh. We have 96 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: a lot of listeners who are not from the United States, 97 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: and thank you for listening. We just want you to 98 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: know that we were well aware of the stereotype about 99 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: US nutrition in general. The portions here are huge. You 100 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: can buy things that have been on a shelf for 101 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: a year and contain what is legally called you know, 102 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: like milk and meat and other perishable items. Uh. You 103 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: can do that because there are so many preservatives and 104 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: other additives in food. So that's what we mean when 105 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: we say processed food. It contains these additives. Um. These 106 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: give food a longer shelf life. But they're also there 107 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: to preserve flavor, color, even even texture, you know. Oh yeah, 108 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: and well okay, so if we go back a little 109 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: bit in history, man's been using preservatives for a long time, 110 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: or at least means to preserve food. So we've got 111 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 1: all kinds of salts, vinegars, herbs, you could boil things. 112 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: Then refrigeration came along because that'll keep it for a 113 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: little bit longer. Um. But in the past fifty years, 114 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,280 Speaker 1: we man the preservatives that we've been creating, the chemical preservatives, 115 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 1: they are just there astounding. First of all, it's amazing 116 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: that we can do these things and they're extremely common, 117 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: extremely common. Yeah, like you've you have you ever held 118 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: a can of soup, you know something again with darrior 119 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: meat in it. You know, this can of clam chowder 120 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: or something, and it's uh old enough that if it 121 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: was a kid, it could be walking around, you know, 122 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: but it's you might have a best by this date, 123 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: but you can still eat it apparently. Um. So yeah, 124 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: that's that's a great point. The most popular of the 125 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: chemical or man made additives in the food industry today 126 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: are stuff like benzoites, nitrites, uh sul fights, and swore bates. 127 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: Uh so sodium nitrite uh nitrate rather big thing in bacon. 128 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: Do you bacon and you want to avoid that, then 129 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: you have to make sure you read the labels with 130 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: great care. Um, Sometimes you don't because it's the vast 131 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: majority of bacon soul in the United States has this added, right. 132 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: Uh So these additives do server purpose, like they stop 133 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: mold and they stop yeast. Um. Sometimes Uh they're just cosmetic, 134 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: like sulfur dioxide, right, it's uh, what is it. It's 135 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: it's one of the most common additives and it's just 136 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: the bleaching agent. It just makes your stuff look nicer 137 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: so someone will pick it up off the shelf. Okay, 138 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's so much cosmetic stuff that the American 139 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: cheese must be yellow, the yellow coloring on cheddar. Now 140 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: I'm just naming yellow things. But there's there's so many 141 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: additives used today, so many in fact, that in this 142 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: podcast we cannot list them all, but we will talk 143 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: about a few because we are part way through our 144 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: video series on food additives, where we covered, Uh, let's see, 145 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: we covered bromonade vegetable oil that we covered aspertain Yep, 146 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: that's the artificial sweetener. I think these are the only 147 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: two that we end up covering. Yeah, you're right. We 148 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: we have a list of these, but we specifically focused 149 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: on aspertame and bromanade vegetable oil because we found, uh, 150 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: some allegations, some conspiratorial ideas, specifically that there might be 151 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: cover ups between the FDA and lobbying organizations. Yes, and 152 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: and there's an incentive, monetary incentive to put these additives 153 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: out there when perhaps the jury is not out on 154 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: whether they're safe for us or not. Right, And we're 155 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: not We're not saying, of course, that the f d 156 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: A is a bunch of evil, conniving uh supervillains who 157 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: want other folks to die. They're also not immune to bribery. Touche, 158 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: old friend. You are correct. We we we shall also point 159 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: out it is not uncommon for a food additive that 160 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: was originally believed to be safe to later be found 161 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: toxic because of the testing processes and the ways in 162 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: which we the ways in which we have learned to 163 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: test these sorts of things. Now, there's some studies that 164 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: we looked at over these videos that showed certain food 165 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: additives as sources of headaches and nausea and everything from 166 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: weakness to even difficulty breathing. Um, I don't I don't 167 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: have the name of that study or those studies that 168 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: we mentioned right here. We'll have to maybe make a 169 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: blog or I don't know, do something to really give 170 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: people more information here. Sure, yeah, there are certain foods 171 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: that can damage new human nerve cells when they're combined 172 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 1: with other additives. Uh. The truth is that we really 173 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: don't understand all the long term effects that additives could 174 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: have on our health because in the grand scheme of things, 175 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 1: these are relatively new inventions and we can test these 176 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: things to the best of our means. But there is 177 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: a reason that not all additives are uniformly banned in 178 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: all countries. There's a lot of stuff in the United 179 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: States that you could never serve in a product in 180 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: the EU or in Japan, for instance, because what do 181 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: you need to prove that something is safe? You need 182 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: time and trials, enough trials, and when a new food 183 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: food additive comes around, maybe it's been in testing for 184 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: a while, but you know it took a long time 185 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 1: for us to understand that the tar from smoking cigarettes 186 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: was terribly bad for you, right, and later we found out, 187 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,719 Speaker 1: at least in that case, that some tobacco companies were 188 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: actively fighting against that being uh made made public. Now, 189 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: obviously we have to we have to be very careful 190 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: and I think, very proactive with the science of these 191 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: sorts of things, because some of these effects can be cumulative, 192 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: meaning you won't notice them, you know, to your point 193 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: about time, until decades down the road. So additives aren't 194 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: banned until enough research is collected to determine the exact 195 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: effects they have on the body. And and don't forget 196 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: there could be cumulative effects just from all the different 197 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: additives or something, you know, something else completely different, because 198 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: our diets now are so filled with these and how 199 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: are you going to separate one from the other unless 200 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: you have such strict clinical trials, right, But we do know, uh, 201 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: we do know some dangerous additives, right, And we've made 202 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of a rogues gallery here of some 203 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: top fives that are not mentioned in our video series. 204 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: So uh, for those intrepid audio podcasts listeners, do feel 205 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: free to tell the people who will watched the videos 206 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: that that you know more about this than they do. 207 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you totally do. I'm so I'm sorry, I'm 208 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: so setting up a flame war. Oh yeah, no, dude, 209 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: let's let's do it. You guys got a battle in 210 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: the streets, the audio versus a video, and then maybe 211 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: if the battle is you know, long and and difficult enough, 212 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: they will become one. Wow, man, I love it. I 213 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: love What What a weird mind you have? So it's 214 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: like warriors come out and play. Yeah, it's like warriors. 215 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: But then in the end and they realized that, hey, guys, 216 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: are differences, aren't that different? Maybe we should band together. 217 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: I have not seen the end of that. I don't 218 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: think that's all right. So wait, what's what's uh number 219 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: five on our list here? Okay, so number five is 220 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: something that if you have kids you already know about 221 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: this food dies and this is this is a big one. 222 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: So um, the f d A has they've they've met 223 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: to decide whether or not certain food dies should even 224 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: be allowed in food, or whether or not they should be, 225 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, carrying a warning label. Hey, this product has 226 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: food dies in it with the certain food dies, right, yes, 227 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: Like Michael Jacobson, the director of the Center for Science 228 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: and the Public Interest. He stated that he was most 229 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: concerned about the dies Red number forty, Yellow number five, 230 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: and yellow number six, and those combined make up about 231 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: of the food dies on the market, their allegations that 232 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: these cause child hyperactivity, and even a d H d uh. 233 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: For the record, I'm not completely convinced on those um 234 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: And you know, we've been using food dies for years, 235 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: but the use has really accelerated, as in like what 236 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: quintupled quintupled. Well, yeah, if if you were in school 237 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: in the nineties, you probably heard the rumors about yellow 238 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: number five and mountain dew. And do you do not 239 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: know this? I've heard this. Oh wow, maybe I'm one 240 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: of the only ones. Okay, not feel horrible. I didn't 241 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: get outside very often. Well, I have very many friends, 242 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: that's fine. The idea was that yellow number five would 243 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: affect your genitals if you were a male in certain ways. 244 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: Oh okay, yeah, wow. Anyway, there was a huge rumor 245 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: back in the time. But I remember thinking that rumor 246 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: caused me to think about some of these chemicals way 247 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: back in the day in middle school. But anyway, uh 248 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: so number four is lead, which might surprise people because 249 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 1: you know, lead food two things you wouldn't think about 250 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: going together. Well, and it's also kind of a strange 251 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: culprit when you think about where this lead is found. 252 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: It's in juice drinks. So, according to the study and 253 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: Natural News, beverages marketed to these two kids contain levels 254 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: of lead, varying levels of lead, some of them can 255 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: be dangerous. The levels were high enough to gain a 256 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: warning under California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act 257 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: of so Prop sixty pro Prop sixty five. And that's 258 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: a little scary when you think about lead because, as 259 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: we talked about before, lead is dangerous inside the human 260 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: body because it's lead. It's so weird, you know. Okay, 261 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: and then we've got number three on our list, which 262 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: is something you schooled me about a number of years ago, Matt, 263 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: and that is v P eight. Yes, there are certain 264 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: synthetic hormones that are in our diet and can be 265 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: found in things. This one b p A, U BI 266 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: sephanol A can be found in canned foods. There was 267 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: a new study that's showing that organic or not of 268 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: your canned foods that you're consuming contain this. Uh, this hormone, 269 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: and there are a couple of studies that you can 270 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: go online. Just just put b P a canned food 271 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: into a search bar and look at it, but not 272 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: while you're eating. Well, that might make for an interesting 273 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: reaction video if you want to post those on YouTube. Oh, 274 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: that's not a bad idea at all. Um, all right, 275 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: so I'd love it if people were posting more reaction videos. 276 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: That'd be interesting. Um, alright, So Thallate's right, thouilates. Uh. 277 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: These are another synthetic hormone, often founding canned foods. This 278 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: chemicals associated with endocrine disruption animals and in some human 279 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: studies they've confirmed this, but they've been shown to cause 280 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: reproductive and neurological damage in lab animal test. Uh. You 281 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: can also, in addition to canned foods, find these in 282 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: some personal care products, which leads us all to number one, 283 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: probably one of my favorite food additives, the most delicious 284 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: thing that exists. Ms g oh Man Okay, linked to 285 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: hormonal imbalances, weight game, brain damage, obesity, headaches, and it 286 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: is just it's dude, and well it's yeah, that's what 287 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 1: it does. It just makes things taste better. And it's 288 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: back in style. Too. There are a couple of there 289 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: are a lot of very popular restaurants you can go 290 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: to now that specifically say, yeah, we make it with 291 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: MSG because it's this beautifully horrible thing that makes everything 292 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: taste delicious. Yeah, no kidding, I'm gonna have to take 293 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 1: it one day at a time. Man, This post MSG 294 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: lifestyle I'm living, it's crazy. I'm a you know, maybe 295 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: I don't care enough that it's harmful. Maybe I just 296 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: need some more MSG man sprinkling on everything put in 297 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: my coffee. It's like I used to taste in color 298 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: and now I taste in grays. Uh, it's not that bad. 299 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm I'm joking, guys. Uh. So that is our gallery 300 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: of five food additives. They're controversial, but that we didn't 301 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: mention in our video series yet. Uh. Weirdly enough, Matt, 302 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: we had a sponsor for this one, but they they 303 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 1: pulled out the last minute. Yeah, I guess legally we 304 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: can't even tell you which h food company pulled out. 305 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: But you know, just just wonder mayor it may or 306 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 1: may not be the people who make dehydrated space ice cream. 307 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: Well maybe I mean no, I mean those wonderful people 308 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: that maybe we'll work with in the future. I'm having 309 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: so much fun. Say may or may not be it 310 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: may or may not be the makers of pavement sauce, 311 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: which is both a condiment and pavement alternative, delicious pavement sauce. Alright, well, 312 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: speaking of payment sauce, man, here's where it gets crazy. Yes, yes, yes, 313 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: let's talk about the more conspiratorial things in the side 314 00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: of this. Oh codex alimentary right, alimentarius, thank you? That 315 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: is the that is a tremendously controversial move by the 316 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: United Nations to standardize food across the globe. Yeah, for safety, Ben, 317 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: that's why. That's why you would do that, for safety. 318 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: So school me on this one. Matt. You know more 319 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: than I do about this. Well, I actually don't, but 320 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: I'll tell you a couple of things that I do know. 321 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: I know that it was a great episode and you 322 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: should watch it. Yeah, we have an episode about this, 323 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: uh in our gosh, this is an older episode. Yeah, 324 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 1: it's just been a while. Uh. I should really prepare 325 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: for these things better, Ben, Well, we'll do. What we'll 326 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: do instead is maybe we'll do a podcast on that 327 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: in detail and its entirety in the future if people 328 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: are interested. Because we Uh, we covered it in our 329 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: video series, and that's sort of an introduction to the concept. Yeah, 330 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: But all in all, it goes back to the idea 331 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: that the u N wants to bring a new world 332 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: order and control everything, and and they're starting with the food. 333 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: It's like a slippery slope argument kind of thing, right, Yeah, 334 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: And they're also there's the argument that the health requirements 335 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: or the standards for this the Okay, the advocates say, look, 336 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 1: we're just trying to make things hygienic, safer, and more uniform, 337 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: maybe with more environmental considerations and packaging, because that's a 338 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: huge thing to opponents say, yeah, this is a new 339 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: world order grab for control and also mandating, uh, the 340 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: insertion of chemicals that will damage people's neurological functions control. Yeah, 341 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: so we'll have to There's so much to that that 342 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: it would be fun to explore it in another episode. 343 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: Maybe funds not the right word, It would be fascinating. 344 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: But it does lead us to our next one, which 345 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: is the concept of brain drain. The idea that not 346 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: only are food additives put into uh into process food 347 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: with the intention of hurting you, like, willfully put in 348 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: there instead of just trying to save some money, but 349 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: these also have uh calculated neurological effects on the population. 350 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: This one, I had to tell you, This one I 351 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: don't buy just because it's hard to How would you 352 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: regulate the dose? How would you ensure that it had 353 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: the actual effect that you're looking for, you know what 354 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: I mean? And you're looking at a huge population sample 355 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: size to try and treat everyone, or if you wanted 356 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: to look at it that way, Uh, And how do 357 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: you prevent anybody that you don't want to eat it 358 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: not to eat it? Do you just have an email 359 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: list with all the foods you can't eat this week 360 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: or this month or this year? Alright, a little sad 361 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: face emoji. But you know, at the same time, I 362 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: think back to our Florida episode and that that has 363 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: always made me question what I believe about some of 364 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: that stuff. Not necessarily that I believe that Flora it 365 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: is calcifying my o pineal gland, but it certainly interests me. Uh. 366 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: With the hexelfloor solicit solicit, Yeah, basically because of the 367 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: motivations behind that kind of stuff and the money which 368 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: goes to the other one of the other conspiracy theories, 369 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: the idea that big business and perhaps corruption with lobbying 370 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: and the FDA. As we mentioned earlier that these forces 371 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 1: are responsible for unsafe additives and food. This isn't so 372 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: much a case of some business saying let's hurt people, 373 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: as it is a business or a lobbying group more 374 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: likely saying, hey, we already spent so much money researching 375 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: this chemical. It's a sunk cost for us, so we 376 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: don't want to lose billions of dollars trying to find 377 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: a new you know, in insert ingredients. How how can 378 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: we use it? How can we make this chemical that 379 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: was meant for this Charlotte, Let's try its form it, 380 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: let's let's rename it. It will be huge. What was 381 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: your campaign? Yeah? What was that food additive that gave 382 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: people the runs in the healthy potato chips? Yeah? Because 383 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: it was better for you than fat. Had a name 384 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: o Lean. Yeah, so it just made it just made you, 385 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: just made you poop, I mean fat, but wasn't really 386 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: poop so much, right, that's the worst part. It was 387 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: an oily discharge that which is the phrase that they 388 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 1: use in the official literature. That's not just thus messing around, 389 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: And it makes me think of the Hierbo hierbo sugar 390 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: free or sugar less gummy bears? Have you heard about 391 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: Oh what happened? Did those also have similar facts? Apparently 392 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: tons of videos online about that. You have to watch 393 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: out for that sort of stuff, which is ultimately the 394 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 1: moral of the story here. There's another one that another 395 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory, and I don't think it's fair to call 396 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: these a theory. And while we're here, shout out to 397 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: one of our listeners or audience members who said, Uh, 398 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: you guys say the word can theory when you mean hypotheses. 399 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: I get it, I understand it. But what we say 400 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: is conspiracy theory because that's the phrase that most people understand. 401 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: We're not here to exclude anybody, so with all due respect, 402 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: we we do understand that. But it's sort of like 403 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: you park in a driveway. We already have the word driveway, 404 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: so we're using it to reach the most people. I 405 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: remember that argument from high school and science class, which 406 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: is the hypothesis. I get it as accurate to say, yeah, yeah, 407 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: we get it, um. But this leads us to again 408 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: the most dangerous, uh conspiratorial idea here, which is corner cutting. 409 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: So you know, we've all heard the stories about dog 410 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: food from China that contains dangerous thing and it's making 411 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: animals sick. Right. The The idea that somebody would cut 412 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: a a processed food, uh, not to preserve its shelf 413 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 1: life necessarily, but just to make the actual food go 414 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: further is more common than you might think. Yeah, and 415 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me of cutting a drugs No. 416 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: I see what you're saying, Just trying to make as 417 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: much profit as you can off of the supply you 418 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: currently have. Yeah, and this is not something that is 419 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: just restricted to uh, one part of the world by 420 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: any means. I know. I think that China often gets 421 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: a really bad rap for that, which maybe in some 422 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: cases is exaggerated propaganda. But you know, it's not like 423 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: there's a country with the perfect manufacturing process. Uh. One 424 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: thing I should point out then, is that there were 425 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: a couple of studies done in the UK that found 426 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: I can't remember the specific brand, but there was there 427 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: was like this meat pie brand, uh, and I think 428 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: it may have been like their own brand that was 429 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 1: found to contain actually no meat. Yeah, that's very familiar there. 430 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: There's things like that that happen all the time. Just 431 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: not what you're expecting because in the factory process, one 432 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 1: will switch didn't get turned or something right messed up 433 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: for you know, that's why there's so many food recalls 434 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: happened constantly, and the Publix and the Kroger where I 435 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: go to locally, there's constantly food recalls up. And it's 436 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: always packaged food always and yeah, and some of the 437 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: strangest packaged food to also comes from your local fast 438 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: food outlet, which may pure package just because it's hot, 439 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: but make no mistake it is. It arrives packaged and 440 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: it is uh processed severely. Like you know, sometimes uh 441 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: fast food restaurants will do that thing where they say 442 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: now with blank percent more blah blah blah blah blah. 443 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: The scary thing is that when you know, when you're 444 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: an average person, you read that and you say, oh, okay, 445 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: the hamburger or the hot dog or whatever is now 446 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: percent bigger, bigger. That means they added fifteen or fifty 447 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: percent more meat to the mix that they used to 448 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: create the thing, or they yeah, or they put more 449 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: saline solution into their chicken breasts to make them murder, 450 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: which is that you can do no Matt something tells 451 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 1: me that we're gonna get a lot of listener mail 452 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: about this four things that we should examine in more detail. Absolutely, Yeah, 453 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that because there's a lot of 454 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: stuff we touched on. Unfortunately we're out of time. Uh 455 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: that in a lot of these things could be their 456 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: own podcasts, just the fast food stuff alone, labeling alone. 457 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 1: You know, what is organic mean? What is a natural flavor? 458 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: I love that the green movement is something we can 459 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: really delve into. Well, but before we leave been yeah, 460 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: what the hell? Because the is there a solution? How 461 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: how do we get out of this? Because we Okay, 462 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: let me just give you what I've been thinking about. 463 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: We can't go back to an all natural you know, 464 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: the idea of the all natural movement. We can't do 465 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: that because there's no way we could have enough food 466 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: for everybody. Um, it's just not possible. That's why, that's 467 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: why Norman Borolog was such a hero. He gave food 468 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: to just billions of people who wouldn't have been able 469 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: to eat in the super wheat inventor. Well, and it's 470 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: a processed food, right, also genetically modified that then becomes 471 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: a processed food and almost has to I see what 472 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 1: you're saying, just from the idea of transporting the food. 473 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: What's weird. What's weird about it is that there's more 474 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: than enough food around to feed every single person on 475 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: the planet. Uh. The problem is we have so much 476 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: food waste, we have so much inefficiency in transporting it, 477 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, in in a lot of ways, 478 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: our systems of social hierarchy, UH make it make feeding 479 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: everyone a much lower priority than you know it would 480 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: be theoretically. Uh. It's an interesting question man, whether or 481 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,959 Speaker 1: not these these food additives are necessary. I would say, 482 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: with the current state of affairs, You're absolutely right. A 483 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: lot of people who are eating an entirely healthy organic 484 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: diet um in in some ways are are privileged, you know. 485 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: And it's not I'm not saying it's a bad thing 486 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: at all. What I'm saying is it's a thing that 487 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: is simply not a reality, not an accessible possibility for 488 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 1: a great deal of the human race or human species, 489 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: I guess.
