1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Tudor Dixon podcast in the Clay 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: and Book podcast Network. 3 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Back to school session 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 2: is in full swing, which means now I, along with 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: so many other parents, are faced with the morning rush 6 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: question who wants hot lunch versus Mom's packed lunch. And 7 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 2: I got to tell you that there are days when 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: I say my kids, whoever wants hot lunch will be 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: Mommy's favorite today because it is just so crazy in 10 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 2: the morning. And I'm going to get a lot of 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: hate mail over that, but they know it's a joke. 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,319 Speaker 2: But the more I learn about the food that we 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 2: consume in the industry's influence as a whole, it terrifies 14 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: me to think about what I am putting in my 15 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: kids bodies. I'm always trying to make sure that they 16 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: have fruit, that they have vegetables, and I sometimes do 17 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: look at what's going on in the school lunch and 18 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not sure that that's the best thing 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: for them. Childhood obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and so many 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: other conditions are at an all time high, and my 21 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 2: guest today believes it's because of one culprit our food. 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: Callie Means is the founder of Truemed and currently writing 23 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 2: his latest book on metabolic health and how we fix 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: the issues plaguing American life. Callie, thank you so much 25 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: for being here with me today. 26 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: Thanks jud thanks for highlighting this issue. 27 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: You know it's terrifying to me. And I got to 28 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: tell you that today, as you know, I'm not in 29 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: my studio. I'm actually helping my mom out today because 30 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: she had her hip or placed a couple weeks ago. 31 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: So I left the kids at home with my husband 32 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: and he is in charge of lunch this week, so 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: he's the guy that has to make the decision every 34 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: morning as to what's going on. And the girls, they're funny. 35 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: We were shopping on Sunday night and one of my 36 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: daughters was like, I'm getting lunchables because I don't want 37 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: the stress in the morning of trying to figure it out. 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: And I wanted to talk about this because I noticed 39 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: that lunchables just got this like big. They potentially are 40 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: going into school cafeterias. And I got to tell you 41 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: that I caved on the lunchables because I'm like, I 42 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: just want to make it easier on him. And now 43 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: I feel like you're going to tell me something really 44 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 2: horrible about lunchables, to just lay it on me. This 45 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 2: is just day one. I can fix this by the 46 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: end of the week. 47 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: I think, you know, we're getting into I think it's 48 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: so funny right that lunchables is now being approved as 49 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: school lunch. The CEO actually bragged at The Wall Street 50 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: Journal that upwards of fifteen billion dollars of money from 51 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: the government treasury through federally funded school lunches, which is 52 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: one of the largest sources of childhood nutrition, can go 53 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: directly from again the federal treasury to lunchibles. And no, 54 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: I don't really have a message for you too, write 55 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: I think you're you know, obviously trying really hard. You know. 56 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: It actually just scares me that, you know, parents have 57 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: to defer at some point in time to our trusted 58 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: medical authorities, and the fact that our medical authorities have 59 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: and the federal government has completely caved special interests, you know, 60 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: and as serving the majority of schools still have vending 61 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: machines with with hugely laden sugar laden drinks. That lunchibles 62 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: is now considered essentially a vegetable. Uh literally, that's their 63 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: definition of it, because they put like one little fruit 64 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: of vegetable in there, and as being federally subsidized. The 65 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: fact that, as we've talked about before, the number one 66 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: item on food stamps, which is a which is a 67 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: program you know, lower income mothers depend on for childhood nutrition, 68 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: the number one item is soda. Just again and again, 69 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: are are our programs that that I think it's reasonable 70 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: to say if we're going to have these programs, you 71 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: know there there's there's competent people at the wheel. We're 72 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: following the science, we're doing right by our kids, but 73 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: but they're being let down again and again and on 74 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: school lunches. You know, I I got to say again 75 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: early on, I actually think Michelle Obama was on the 76 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: right track. You know, she said, you know, our kids' 77 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: health is out of control. Food is really important, but 78 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: it's notable. She actually caved. She actually caved very quickly. 79 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: You know, John Carey's family, you know, Obama's chief of 80 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: staff later on, owns right craft times and they actually 81 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: lobbied the above administration. This is not really even reported 82 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: that much, but actually John Carrey's own family was aggressively 83 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: lobbying on the Let's Move program. They said, we got 84 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: to get away from food and very quickly, Michelle Obama 85 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: actually partnered with with Big Food and Walmart and only 86 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 1: stressed exercise and totally changed your message today. Right with 87 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: kids going back to school, you know you as a parent, 88 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: I have got a young young son. You know, I 89 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: think parents always worry about kids in every generation. But 90 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: I think we're aligned to ourselves if we don't say 91 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: there's something unique happening right now with kids. You know, 92 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: forty eight percent of high schoolers qualify as having a 93 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: mental health disorder. Twenty five percent of young adults. I mean, 94 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: this is just staggering, but twenty five percent of youngs 95 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one contemplated suicide. Accord to the CDC. 96 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: Eighteen percent of teens have fatty liver disease, obviously the 97 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: obese overweight of nearly fifty percent of teens qualifying that category. So, 98 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: you know, from a human capital perspective, right, just from 99 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: a spiritual perspective, I think something really wrong is happening 100 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: with how we're treating kids. And then these are you know, 101 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: these folks are going out of the economy. They're the 102 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: inputs of our country, right, the individual humans and we're 103 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: just we're just decimating them again when we're I. 104 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 2: Think as parents, we're confused though, because we I mean, 105 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: in my generation, we grew up in the generation of 106 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: you should be fat free. You know. We went from 107 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: I remember having snack wells and all of these things 108 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: that were filled with sugar and they were all fat free. 109 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: So we thought that was good. But there was this 110 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: conversation that started with parents that was like, you know, 111 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: these mental health disorders about weight are so bad in 112 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: young women. You should never talk about weight at all 113 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: with young women. And now that translated into you know, 114 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: don't talk about health almost because I think a lot 115 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: of parents were like afraid to say to their kids, 116 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: you know, you still have to be healthy, because they 117 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 2: were so scared by the big media, by by the 118 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: health industry, by magazines who were saying a girl's body 119 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: image is critical to her survival because if she has 120 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: a bad body image, then she is going to be suicidal. 121 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: But then instead we went to the opposite extreme of saying, 122 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: you know, we're going to embrace an unhealthy lifestyle and 123 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: we're going to put models on the front of magazines 124 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: who really are health wise in danger. And we've seen 125 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: our schools. I mean, I've even commented on the kids 126 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 2: in school are gaining weight at a much more rapid 127 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 2: pace than they were when we were kids, And I 128 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 2: think as parents, we don't know what is how do 129 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: we how do we buy things at the grocery store 130 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: that are going to be healthy for them and focus 131 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: on their health. And I know that sounds crazy because 132 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: it's like, well, why why don't you just feed your 133 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: kids fruits and vegetables and make the food at home 134 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: and everything's safe and you know what you're putting in there. 135 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: But you know you're in the grocery store. You see 136 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 2: the foods that are quick and easy, and kids want 137 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: those foods, and sometimes as a parent, it's just easy 138 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: to do that. How do you talk to parents when 139 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: you don't have this happening in the media, when we're 140 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: not talking about the increase in obesity, because quite frankly, 141 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: I don't think we really know how to change this 142 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: right now. And we are also at this point where 143 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: what you said is true. We see massive mental health 144 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: issues with kids, especially young girls. We're seeing a much 145 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: higher rate of suicide, and how how do we talk 146 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: about that without saying, well, it could be linked to 147 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: what they're putting in their bodies, because what you put 148 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: in your body has a lot to do with how 149 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: you feel. 150 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: Let's talk bottoms up, like what you're shining a light on, 151 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: and then you know, maybe we could talk. I think 152 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: there's definitely some culpability on the policy level, but I 153 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: think the bottoms up is really important. So this is 154 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: my message to parent and how I'm thinking about it, 155 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: and I think mindset's really important here. But it's as 156 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: a parent, don't shame yourself for the fact that you 157 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: know you cave, as all parents do, I think, on 158 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: the lunchables or you know, you have this real pushback 159 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: from your kids, you know, on eating that sugar, on 160 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: eating that processed food, on gravitating that that's normal. What 161 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: we have in this country is a addiction crisis, and 162 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: I think we have to understand that we've normalized. Literally, 163 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: the USDA recommends that a two year old that ten 164 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: percent of their diet can be added sugar. The added 165 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: sugar consumption among children has gone up one hundred times 166 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: and one hundred years literally, recommended by our health authorities 167 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: by the Nutritional Guidelines, which are totally co opted by 168 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: food companies, the scientists on the nutritional guidelines, ninety five 169 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: percent of them except personal bribes, personal constut payments from 170 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: food and or pharma companies. So as a parent, I'd say, 171 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: we've got to change our mindset. Don't be hard on yourself, 172 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: but be realistic with yourself and your chut children. This 173 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: system has let them down, and we've loaded our foods 174 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: with highly addictive companies. You know, when we started regulating 175 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: the sugar excuse me, the tobacco companies in the nineteen eighties. 176 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: People don't realize this, but Philip Morris, RJ. Reynolds, they 177 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: actually became the largest food companies. So in the nineteen nineties, 178 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: actually they were the largest food companies. They started buying 179 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: up Craft and all these other companies. So literally, when 180 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,439 Speaker 1: tobacco companies got the hammer put down on them, they 181 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: literally brought their scientists to food. So when I say 182 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 1: our food is weaponized. 183 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: Big sugar pays politicians a lot of money. 184 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: The two of the biggest spenders in Washington you see, 185 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: are big food. The number one is pharma, which benefits 186 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: from people being sick. So our food truly had that's 187 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: not hyperbolic, it truly has been weaponized, you know, the 188 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: perfect addictive chemicals, sugar seed oils, things like that. So 189 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: kids really are fighting with an addiction crisis. And I'm 190 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, talking to a lot of parents 191 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: just just just level with our kids. I mean, this 192 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 1: is just an example of how the systems let them down. 193 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: And I frankly think dealing with dopamine, understanding dopamine and 194 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: addiction drives so many behaviors of what we do, and 195 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: this is just I think a really important first example 196 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: and frankly just something kids need to learn how to 197 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: deal with. They've been toilet down, their food's addictive, so 198 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: it's normal what their behavior is. But I think truly 199 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: we need to. 200 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: Put some of those sugar highs and lows then also 201 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: kind of mimic manic depressive. I mean, if you're high 202 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 2: and then you're low, your body feels out of sync 203 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: all the time. If this is happening in high school, 204 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: you have hormones raging through your body, You're going at 205 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: lunch and you're getting a sugary soda. By the end 206 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 2: of the day, you're mad at your friends, you feel 207 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: like you've been abandoned. You know, if that high and 208 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: low is going on throughout the day at that critical 209 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: point in time, Does that have an impact on your 210 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: mental health and how you view what's actually happening during 211 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: the day at school. 212 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just growing earlier. Right when we see 213 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: kids just absolutely have like like younger children just have 214 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,599 Speaker 1: absolute mental breakdowns when they're not given the food that 215 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 1: they want, usually containing sugar. I have real compassion for 216 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: both the parents and the kids because that kid is 217 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: truly in their brain. If you do a brain scan 218 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: and a doctor looked at the brain scan on their 219 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: reward signaling, it's indistinguishable from any other drug. You know, 220 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: there's different ranges, but the dopamine receptors when that kid 221 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: is craving sugar alutely, they are absolutely exhibiting the same 222 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: behaviors as any other type of dependency of drugs. Which 223 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: is why every parent sees an absolute like there's the 224 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: kids seeing red until they get that food. 225 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: But no one's talking about this. I mean, my pediatrician 226 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: has never said this to me. The pediatrician says, you know, 227 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: make sure they're eating a healthy diet. But there's no 228 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: one out there, and maybe I'm just I just sound 229 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: like I'm whining now. But we kids don't come with 230 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: a handbook. You know, we end up in the situation 231 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 2: where you've got one screaming, you've got another one that 232 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 2: is running around the house, and you're like, I'm gonna 233 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: give them what they want because things are out of control. 234 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: At what point, how do you find this information as 235 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: a parent, like I might actually be causing the issues 236 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 2: by what I'm putting into their systems sort of in 237 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: a way, unknowingly causing this crash and this high and 238 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 2: this crash. 239 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: So ninety percent of med schools don't require one nutrition class. 240 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: The nutrition science research has been totally co opted by 241 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: big food. Big food processed food companies spend eleven times 242 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: more nutritional research funding nutritional research to the NIH. When 243 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: I started calling out this, you know, rigged food company 244 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 1: is funded by Tough Nutrition School, which is the top 245 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: nutrition school. And then IH for saying Lucky Charms is 246 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: healthier than beef, I got a call from the president 247 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: of that school saying, why are you attacking me? On 248 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: Fox News on with Jesse Waters and why it's Joe 249 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: Rogan tweeting about this. He's like this, this is hurting 250 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: our science. And I said, is your school funded by 251 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 1: big food. He's like, yeah, we wouldn't be able to 252 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: exist but without food donations. But those don't but those 253 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: don't impact our findings are eighty percent of our budget. 254 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: Is basically, I'm like, you know, I don't know what 255 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: to tell you, but but the thing i'd say to 256 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: parents from the bottom up, and then hopefully where there's 257 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: some hope. I think there's some outrage but also some 258 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 1: hope is that humans are the only animals that are 259 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: systematically obese, that are seeing like epidemic rates of diabetes, 260 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: of I deliver disease. Humans and animals we've domesticated. So 261 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: actually it's very instructive to me. You look at a dog, right, 262 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: and we've given our dogs our same habits. We feed 263 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: them gross, highly processed food, We keep them indoors with 264 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: limited sun, lack of movement, right, what we're doing to teenagers. Basically, 265 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: dogs have a fifty percent cancer rate. Fifty percent of 266 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: dogs get cancer. A wolf in the wild or wild 267 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: animals have a one percent cancer rate. So dogs also 268 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: have over a fifty percent depression rate, and and and 269 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of chronically depressed drafts or 270 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: zebras in the wild, right, you actually only have you know, 271 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: seventy percent of deaths plus and the United States are 272 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: tied to preventable food worn issues, right, diabetes, heart disease, 273 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: knney disease, things like that. That that that's those are 274 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: very low rates in the wild. So actually, every animal 275 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: except us has the ability of the innate ability to 276 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: know what we want to eat, to regulate that. And 277 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: the only difference we have its humans is the experts, 278 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: experts telling us that you know, lucky charms are healthy 279 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: than beef. Experts, you're pediatricians systematically, right, not raising the 280 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: alarm bell on sugar. And I just say, just to 281 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: tie a couple of points together, tutor, you know working 282 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: for these companies in the past. Uh, the you know 283 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: health eating disorders, it's a huge issue. I mean, it's 284 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: one of the you know, top causes of death for 285 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: any mental health disorder. It's it's it's not something to 286 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: take lightly. But the food industry absolutely systematically and I 287 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: saw it weaponizes fear about that issue to shut down 288 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: debate right now. Actually, it came out that big food 289 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: companies are funding millions of dollars to body inclusive TikTok 290 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: influencers who are saying, yeah, so actually there was a 291 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: there was a big millions and millions of views that 292 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: this big campaign to say that the only food we 293 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: should stigmatize is food with mold on it, That a 294 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 1: don it's fine unless it has mold on it, That 295 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: it's actually racist to stigmatize any type of food because 296 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: people of color communities have are disproportionately overweight. And that 297 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: video was actually done in conjunction. You can't even make 298 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: this up with the La Unified School District, which is 299 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 1: the largest school district in the country, and they actually 300 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: shared a video that was funded by Nestli. You literally 301 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 1: can't make this up of people saying that you should 302 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: not stigmatize food in that point about the donut. That's 303 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: how you know systematic. This is Neslie's literally funding these 304 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: body inclusive videos kind of weaponizing this idea about fat shaming, 305 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: this idea about you know, the anything on anything I 306 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: tweet on Twitter. Right, there's a bunch of trolls saying, well, well, Anna, right, 307 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: you're going to make people at Arexica. 308 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: It's like, yes, but that's exactly what I'm saying. That 309 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: was what our generation growing up. That's what we were 310 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: told and it was really I mean that actually happened 311 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 2: in health class. We were told as kids like, don't 312 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: ever talk about anybody's weight, and then our parents were also. 313 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: This was a big push and that did come out 314 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: in the media, and I think that both sides, and 315 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 2: when you look at it from a political standpoint, I 316 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 2: think both sides right now are saying, oh, you know, 317 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: I don't want to get into it because I don't 318 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: want government telling me telling people what to do, and 319 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: my side doesn't want government telling them what to do, 320 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: and the other side doesn't want government telling them what 321 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: to do. But what we don't know is that government 322 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 2: is controlling what we do behind the scenes by not 323 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 2: talking about it. You've kind of praised RFK Junior for 324 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 2: coming out and talking about this, and I think that, honestly, 325 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 2: the refreshing truths from him talking about food dies and 326 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 2: all these things, and food dies, actually food dies is 327 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: one of the things that scares me the most because 328 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: we've seen kids with ticks, we've seen things that if 329 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: you take away the food die, their behavior completely changes. 330 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 2: And this is something that only the United States has. 331 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 2: We do not have it in other countries, and our 332 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 2: RFK has been incredibly vocal about the differences between our 333 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 2: food supply and European food supply and what we allow 334 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 2: in our food, and he's gotten a lot of pushback 335 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: from the at least the financial powers that be, like, 336 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: you know what, dude, shut up, you can't talk about this, 337 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: and you say more politicians should talk about it. I 338 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 2: think that, you know, having gone through a race myself, 339 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 2: you get all these people that are like, don't say that, 340 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: you're going to make this person mad and this person 341 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 2: mad and you are. Politics is a weird place where 342 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 2: you are controlled or they try to control you by 343 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 2: what you have. But what what the people with money say? 344 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 2: So what do you say politicians should be saying about 345 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 2: our food supply right now? And how can they be 346 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: open and honest with the American people and fight for 347 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: them on this? 348 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? I worked in politics early in my career, and 349 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: it definitely seems like there's this consultant driven kind of 350 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: range of things you can talk about. And I think 351 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: what President Trump and Frankly RFK have shown is that 352 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: you can bust through that, and I think there's huge 353 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: lessons to learn from our I mean, you look at 354 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: he's the most popular politician in the country right now 355 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: among independence and actually among women, particularly mothers. If you 356 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: take that women with kids out, it's the most by 357 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: far the most popular politician of America because I think 358 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: there is this real anxiety that people haven't fully voiced 359 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 1: and have it put their finger on about what's happening 360 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: to the health of kids and the mental health of kids. 361 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: And I think what RFK is really doing is he's 362 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: really tying the systemic incentives there. And just to take 363 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: it to your point about high schoolers and whether these 364 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: mental health crisis we're seeing is related to food. Obviously 365 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 1: mental health is multifactorial. But I think what he's explaining 366 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: really well is right, we're seeing unprecedented things and then 367 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: we're kind of like throwing up our hands. We're being like, oh, 368 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: it's complicated. It's this. It's like if you take any animal, right, 369 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: any animal that there is, and put them in a 370 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: relatively sedentary environment and put them, you know, with lack 371 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: of sun and feed you know, eighty percent of their 372 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: diet a highly processed basically frank in food, which is 373 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: you know, what we're feeding teenagers, you know, and you 374 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: look at any you know, teenager they're they're chugging their 375 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: their Starbucks with with sixty grams of sugar. They're they're 376 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: they're literally addicted to highly processed food. If you do 377 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: that to any animal, they're gonna literally go crazy. You know, 378 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: our brain produced, you know, is two percent of the 379 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: weight of our body, produces twenty five percent of their energy. 380 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: It literally runs on what we're eating. I mean, these 381 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: are all basic points, right, and honestly points years ago 382 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: working for the food cosa sound like hippie points, but 383 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: like it's just we've almost been gaslighted to not even 384 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: like realize like the one of the most important things 385 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: with the human capital for the functioning of our body, 386 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: for the functioning of our brain is like whether we're moving, 387 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: whether we're sleeping, whether we're like feeding our body with 388 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: the right fuel. And that's just been like totally taken 389 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: off the table through really like through really bad incentives. 390 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: And as as our f case pointed out, like during COVID, 391 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 1: why the hell wasn't doctor Fauci on a microphone using 392 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: that as a moment to talk about the fact that 393 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: if you were metabolically healthy, if you had a stable weight, 394 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: if you exercise, if you didn't eat processed food, you 395 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: had essentially a zero percent chance of dying of COVID. 396 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: Even if you go up into the age brackets of 397 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: the highly very very old folks, almost all of them 398 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: had metabolic dysfunction of some kind. If you were metabolically healthy, 399 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: you didn't die of COVID. But instead, what do we do? 400 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: We pushed almost primarily, almost exclusively, a pharmaceutical solution. Did 401 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: not talk and use this as as an opportunity to 402 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: really attack the root cause not just of COVID deaths, 403 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: but eight of the ten largest killers of Americans, which 404 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: are highly tied to food. So the fact that this 405 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: is even like the fact that this is even like 406 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: surprising or like like even a discussion that that the 407 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: fact that we're filling our bodies with toxic crap and 408 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: that's impacting health and mental health, I think shows how 409 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: much the systems won. And I think RFK bashing through that, 410 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: and again I think it's analogous to Trump kind of 411 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: killing the sacred cows. I think that's really resonating with folks, 412 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: And because it's resonating so strong with independence and women, 413 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: I think it's something every politician should be taking note on. 414 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,239 Speaker 2: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 415 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 2: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I want to go to something 416 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: that you talked about healthcare or I guess what we 417 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 2: should call it sick care, and you talked about the 418 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 2: pharmaceutical companies. We just recently had the FDA come out 419 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 2: and say that all of these decongestions actually don't work. 420 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 2: We have a huge problem right now where people are 421 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: very leery of the CDC, they're questioning the FDA. I mean, 422 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: I'm impressed that the FDA came out and said this 423 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 2: at this time when we have a lot of people 424 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: who are saying, who do we trust? But they did. 425 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: They came out and they said, this stuff that's been 426 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: on the market for decades and people have been taking 427 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 2: for decades, it's really not doing anything. But what it's 428 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 2: not doing what it's supposed to be doing. I should say, 429 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 2: what is it doing? If we're taking a drug that 430 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: isn't doing what we think it's going to do, how 431 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 2: could they have allowed us to put this in our 432 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 2: system for all these years? 433 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I think it's much worse than that. 434 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it represents actually you know, and 435 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: I think it's great. The FDA spoke about it. This 436 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: one thing. Seventy five percent of the funding of the 437 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: FDA comes from drug companies. The the institution is designed 438 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: incentivized to grow the drug industry. Instead of an adversarial force, 439 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: there a clubby force. As we know, Trump's FDA director 440 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: immediately went to be on the board of Pfizer and 441 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: it is one of the biggest apologists. You know, for 442 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical industry. You have a revolving door entirely the 443 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: FDA panels that approve drugs. There's not conflict of interest, 444 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: and they're often paid by the drug makers they're actually approving. 445 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: The FDA is completely that with the pharma and I 446 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: think what you what's represented. Thankfully they called out that drug. 447 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: But we have totally lost our way and even this 448 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 1: assumption that we're making that diseases are in silos, right, 449 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: we have over ten thousand, you know, major drugs. You know, 450 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: my sister of medical school, you graduate, you choose one 451 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: of forty two specialties eighty two sub specialties against thousands 452 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: of drugs. So the siloing of disease has been a 453 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: total failure. You know, heart disease isn't a stat deficiency. 454 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: Diabetes isn't a met form in deficiency. OBEs isn't an 455 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: ozmbic deficiency. Right. But but the average American at fifty 456 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: years old is on six different drugs. You know, they're 457 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: they're on a high cholesterol medication, is STAD and met 458 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: form and all those things are the same like like, 459 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: and they're nevitably going to have you know, chess, you 460 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: know issues, chronic you know, sinus infections, all these things. 461 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: So the medical system gives you a drug for all 462 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: they're the same thing. They're fundamentally rooted in inflammation, are 463 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: fundamentally rooted in metabolic dysfunction. And and and that's the campaign. 464 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: That's what our books about. That that that is I 465 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: think what a number of leaders, what RFK frankly is saying, 466 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: is the true paradigm shift we need to have in health. 467 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: It is a total lie that that we have these 468 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: siloed issues and and that six drugs are going to 469 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: help you if you if you literally, as a medical system, 470 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: as a public policy question asked, how can we make 471 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: that person healthier? How can we reduce everything down? Right? 472 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: If that person's on Medicaid? Right, a diabetic person on medicaid. 473 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: You know, in their thirties, we're paying millions of dollars 474 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: or drugs and treatments over their lives. We could actually 475 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: work with that person which with much less money, to 476 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: actually incentivize them to exercise, to give them better food. 477 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: It actually save the government a lot of money and 478 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: actually reduce the root cause of everything. So so that 479 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: that's where I think the fact that we even see 480 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: things in silos is I think a huge problem. 481 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: So this was not a discussion in the debate. I mean, 482 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: public health was not discussion in the latest Republican debate 483 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 2: on the president of the presidential candidates. What is your 484 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 2: what was your thoughts on What were your thoughts on 485 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: how the debate went, and what would you like to 486 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 2: see the questions be in the next debate, because I 487 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: think that that's something as we look at what we've 488 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 2: talked about today, obesity, public health, these are real problems 489 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 2: facing America. They outrageous cost of health insurance, the outrageous 490 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 2: cost of these drugs, the fact that we don't talk 491 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 2: about a healthy lifestyle. These things were not covered at 492 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 2: the debate. How do you want to see that covered 493 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: at the next debate? What kinds of questions do you 494 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 2: want to see asked, why do you think that the candidates, 495 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: how do you think the candidates will react to that? 496 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean watching the debate quite frankly, it felt 497 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: like there's a you know, massive fire, you know, Rome 498 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: is burning and we're just talking trivia. I mean literally, 499 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: the healthcare is the largest, as we know, the largest 500 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: insuct in the country. It's twenty percent of GDP at 501 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: two times the rate. It's going to bankrupt our country. Right, 502 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: we spend more on diabetes management than the all of 503 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 1: defense and intelligence, and that it's growing at a much 504 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: faster rate. It's going to bankrupt our country. And it's 505 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: not hyperbolic to say that our precious human capital is 506 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: being destroyed at a much higher rate than most other 507 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: developed countries. When you look at rates of OBESI eighty 508 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: percent of adults or a be sort of a weight, 509 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's literally our body physically telling us 510 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 1: that something wrong is happening with ourselves. So what I 511 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: would like, you know, is to is to really address 512 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: this unifying issue again that our CA is tapping into. 513 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 1: President Trump has made some very strong statements on it, 514 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: but but we have a problem where we're where we're 515 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: really actually again it's it's it's not a free market. 516 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: We actually have a total crony capitalist takeover of farm 517 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: and food, the two largest funders of DC that are 518 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: making our population sick, profiting those industries, but going to 519 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: bankrupt our country and destroy our human capital. So I'd 520 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: like to see questions about that, and and I think 521 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 1: for particularly with the presidential debate now, I hope and 522 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: pray that these candidates can understand this issue better because 523 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: there's a ton of executive action that can be taken 524 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: day one. And just just to just to list a couple, 525 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: I think we talked about this before, that fifty five 526 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: percent of media funding comes from pharma. This is hard 527 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: to get your head around. The majority of mainstream media 528 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: funding is pharma, which of course is why the mainstream 529 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: media is a mouthpiece for the pharmaceutical industry literally tries 530 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: to destroy anyone who questions or asks, you know, why 531 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: we should be injecting our kids with seventy shots. But 532 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: but but but but but that's their life. But that's 533 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: their funding. It's and it's also why I think the 534 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: media is completely not curious about why everyone's getting sicker 535 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: or fat or more depressed, more and fertile. So day one, 536 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: the President can issue in executive order the FDA to 537 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: say no more pharma ads on TV, which actually has 538 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: the benefit of taking out the main funding. Yeah, that's 539 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: that's the standard in every other country in the world, 540 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: and that would actually be the morally right thing to 541 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: do and take away the lifeblood of mainstream media advertising. 542 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: So that would be an easy day one executive order. 543 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: We've talked about food stamps. Obviously, we're the only country 544 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: in the world which provides our lower income nutrition substance 545 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: to sugar water. It's the number one item, soota that 546 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: could be changed. Day one should immediately get the crotny 547 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: cronies at the USDA, get actual doctors who are not 548 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: paid by food companies, and reverse the criminal recommendation that 549 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: two year old should be eating ten percent their diet 550 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: as added sugar. You know when parents, you know, are 551 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: at a birthday party right with three year olds and 552 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: they're all eating sugar, they're actually those parents are actually 553 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: following government recommendations to be given their kids sugar. We 554 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: need to stop that immediately. RFK. This is a hot topic, 555 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: but he's pointed on this. Vaccines recommended or really mandated 556 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: vaccines has risen from twenty to seventy for a six 557 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: year old by the time, and that's just been in the 558 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: past twenty years now. Number of those might be good, 559 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: and I don't want to get into that debate, and 560 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: and and and you know, they could they could very 561 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: well be great, But it is true and RF case 562 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 1: point this out. Mark and Glaxo Smith Klein, the two 563 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: largest vaccine makers, literally are the two largest criminal enterprises 564 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 1: in the country. They've paid in the past five years 565 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: the largest criminal penalties of any company in America billions 566 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: of dollars for directly bribing doctors and falsifying data. So 567 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: you have companies that are literally criminal enterprises, right that 568 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 1: are making tens of billions of dollars off uh these 569 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: mandated drugs with full support from the government and media. 570 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: Who's destroying anyone who's asking a question? You know again, 571 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: I think many of these might be great. But the 572 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 1: fact that we can't ask a question about that about 573 00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: shots that, by their own, by their own advertising on them, 574 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: are changing a child's immune system for the rest of 575 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: our lives. That just represents I think how we've totally 576 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: lost our way, and we really have a government media 577 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: cooperation to prevent questioning of literal criminal enterprises who are 578 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: pushing drugs on us. The other thing that I just 579 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: think should be done immediately and that candidates should be 580 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: talking about, and this you can't even wrap your head around, 581 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: but the NIH, which really is the lifeblood of research, 582 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 1: is at R and D outsourcing for pharmaceutical companies. Ninety 583 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: one percent of the NIH budget is grants that are 584 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: generally going to pharmaceutical research. And there are eight thousand 585 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,479 Speaker 1: NIH researchers who have conflicts of interest paid for by 586 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: drug companies on the exact subject they're talking. The NIH 587 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: actually has recently affirmed that they do not have a 588 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: conflict of interest policy. It's voluntary, and it's rife with 589 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: conflicts of interest, which is which is getting you to 590 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: where we are today, where everything is about a drug 591 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: for something we're already sick, for sick care, instead of 592 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: actually researching why we're getting sick. 593 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 2: It's all very interesting. I mean, I think if you 594 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: really break down what's happening today, there has been real 595 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 2: pushback on anybody talking about what we put in food. 596 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I remember mayor Bloomberg banning the big gulp, 597 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 2: and you know, we all went, how can you possibly 598 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 2: do that? And I think that's the wrong approach. You 599 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 2: can't try to just shoot little things down and see 600 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 2: if you can actually have an impact. I don't think 601 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 2: that that's right, But I do think that in the 602 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: midst of a world where we see a daily conversation 603 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 2: on climate and a daily attack on big oil and 604 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 2: increased prices on everything, including food, and that attack on 605 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 2: big oil affects our food supply from farms and our 606 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 2: natural food supply significantly. When we see that that is 607 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 2: acceptable and that people can attack big industries like that, 608 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: somehow big food and big pharma are left alone in 609 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 2: that conversation is something that we can't have. And you 610 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 2: have other countries that are saying, you know what we're 611 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 2: going to for the health of our nation and the 612 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,959 Speaker 2: protection of our nation, and really that is truly what 613 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 2: it is. And it's hard to have that conversation because 614 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 2: we are we love freedom, we love to be able 615 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 2: to do whatever we want, but they have taken a 616 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 2: stance for the health of our people. We are going 617 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 2: to say, you can't put these kinds of toxic dyes 618 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: into our food. You can't have this kind of unlimited 619 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 2: sugar in our children's diets, and other countries have thrived 620 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: much more so than the United States from a health standpoint, 621 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 2: and it just seems like we are still at the 622 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 2: point where somehow, I'm guessing it's money in politics, and 623 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 2: like you're talking about money and media, because politicians need 624 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 2: the media. They're not going to go against the media. 625 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 2: It's a kind of a broken system. And maybe it 626 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 2: does take some more people like in ourk coming out 627 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 2: and speaking out. And I do believe what you're saying about. 628 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 2: If some of these other candidates came out and started 629 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 2: having this conversation, there would be a lot of support. 630 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 2: And in the end, shouldn't it be the people's vote 631 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 2: that is what you are trying to earn, not the 632 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 2: pocketbooks of big pharma and not getting into the earnings 633 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 2: of big sugar, not getting into the earnings of big food. 634 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 2: That you should be trying to win over the hearts 635 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 2: and minds of people and make it the best country 636 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 2: we can possibly have. And I think that conversations like 637 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 2: these are important so that when people hear this, they go, well, 638 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 2: wait a minute, I'm going to start asking those questions 639 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 2: when we have these town halls, when we see these 640 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 2: presidential candidates go out and say I want to talk 641 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,000 Speaker 2: to the people when they go to diners and just 642 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 2: take whatever question it is. Start asking, how do you 643 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 2: feel about what the toxic chemicals, the toxic products that 644 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 2: we're putting in our bodies, whether it is pharma, whether 645 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 2: it is food, how do you feel about that? And 646 00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 2: what are you going to do to protect our youth, 647 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 2: but to protect all ages, because when you talk about 648 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 2: fatty livers and liver transplants and all of these things 649 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 2: that we're seeing that, like we said, it used to 650 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 2: be only older alcoholics that we were seeing these issues, 651 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 2: and now we're seeing these issues and kids. You were 652 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 2: telling me about pediatric liver transplant places where people can 653 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 2: go and actually we're really starting up these clinics. I 654 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 2: mean that is shocking to me. And I just appreciate 655 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 2: having you on today because I think it's so key 656 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 2: that we help people to think about this in a 657 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 2: different way and say, you know what, we don't have 658 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,359 Speaker 2: to stand for this. We don't necessarily even know what 659 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 2: we're getting, but somebody needs to stand up and say 660 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 2: we want the American people to know what they're getting, 661 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 2: and we want them to know that it's safe. So 662 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 2: thank you so much for coming on and talking about 663 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 2: this today. 664 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Tutor. I mean just that was 665 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: profound what you just said. And I just say, this 666 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: is the policy. This has to happen. It's so important 667 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: to help our kids. I think the politics are changing. 668 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: I think moms. I think parents are really waking up 669 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: these This is really resonating, I think among conservatives. And 670 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: then to the last point, I just say, as a conservative, 671 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: I used to think this was nanny state saying that 672 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: we need to look into food. What's happening right now 673 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: is the reverse of that. It is not conservative, that 674 00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 1: crony capitalism is happening where the food companies are lobbying 675 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: to rig food stamps to serve our kids sugar. And 676 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,799 Speaker 1: then people are called nanny state people for questioning that. 677 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: It's a total perversion of the system. Our system is 678 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: rigged right now. It is completely a rigged and our 679 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: kids are being poisoned by design and calling that out 680 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: and getting to an actual free market where right now 681 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 1: we subsidized, literally with federal substance cigarettes tobacco more than fruits, 682 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: and vegetables. That's literally true. So we have a rigged market. 683 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 1: All I'm asking is that we get to a free market. 684 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 1: We should not be taxing, we should not be banning. 685 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: Coke should be legal, but it should not be subsident 686 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 1: with tens of billions of dollars of government money to 687 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: feed the kids. That's the key point here, and I 688 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: think conservatives need to need to fully understand that I've 689 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 1: been wrong on in the past. This is a huge 690 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: conservative issue to take on the crony capitalism, then food 691 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 1: and pharma. We are subsidizing our kids destruction and bad health, 692 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 1: which pharma and healthcare industry is standing silent on because 693 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 1: they profit from people being sick. That's fundamentally what's happening. 694 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 1: And I think it's the conservative issue of our time 695 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 1: to understand those incentives and call that out and get 696 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: back to what I would call free market. 697 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 2: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 698 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 2: the Tutor Dixon podcast. I feel like I'm feeding my 699 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 2: kids something healthy, and I'm still struggling with weight, with behavior, 700 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 2: with all of these things. I mean, so many of 701 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 2: my friends, like I said, they took out food dies 702 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:56,320 Speaker 2: from their child's diet and their behavior was shockingly different. 703 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 2: And if you think that this is not a dirty cabal, 704 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 2: it is. These lobbyists get paid to put this food 705 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 2: in your child's school, to put this food in your 706 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 2: child's lunch box. This is not something that is happening 707 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 2: by chance. You don't see this on the end of 708 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 2: shelves because it's just like, oh wow, look, that'll be easy. 709 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 2: It's because they're paying to be there. They're paying to 710 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 2: be in front of your face and get into your 711 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 2: child's mouth and get into your child's lunchbox and all 712 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,959 Speaker 2: of these places. They are trying to get this food 713 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,960 Speaker 2: into your child's body because it's beneficial to them financially. 714 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 2: I mean, as scary as that is, these people are 715 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 2: paying for this because getting into your child's lunch box 716 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 2: and affecting your child's health is a huge industry. But 717 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 2: it's not just your kid, it's you. It's your parents. 718 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 2: When you are dealing with the sickness of your elderly 719 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 2: parents and all of these cancers that we're facing. That 720 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 2: is a manipulation behind the scenes of lobbyists in many cases, 721 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 2: I mean obviously not in all cases, but I agree 722 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 2: with you. I mean We could probably talk about this 723 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 2: for hours, and I'm so grateful we'll have you back. 724 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 2: I mean, we've had you on before. There's a lot 725 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 2: to talk about here, just a lot of education to 726 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 2: put parents, to put out there for parents, and I 727 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 2: would like to start breaking down how different things affect kids' 728 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 2: behaviors because that food dye situation, We've really found that 729 00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 2: a lot of people that think that their kids are 730 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 2: suffering with being on the spectrum or add a lot 731 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 2: of these behaviors. If you take that food diet out 732 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 2: of their diet, suddenly you have a totally different child. 733 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,560 Speaker 2: And that alone should convince you what CALLI means is 734 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,839 Speaker 2: saying here about we need to be involved, we need 735 00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 2: to be loud about these issues. It's really true because 736 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 2: it can impact your child's life for the rest of 737 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 2: their life.
