1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. Today, we are going 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: to be talking all things health and that is because 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 1: we are suddenly in this new I guess revolution where 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: we've been talking about what we actually should eat and 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: what the health factors are and what maybe big food 6 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: has been putting in our food that we. 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 2: Didn't know about. 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: And I think we can all say this is really 9 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: thanks to Robert Kennedy Junior. If he hadn't come out 10 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: and started talking about this, I don't know that there 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: were people that were just on the grassroots level that 12 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: would have been discussing this. I know that we've seen 13 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: this for years from activists, and there needs to be 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: kind of that light to really ignite the fire behind 15 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: the grassroots to say, wait a minute, is this why 16 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: we are so unhealthy as a country, Because if you 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: are paying attention, then you would see that our statistics 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: compared to the rest of the countries, I mean, the 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: rest of the western world, we're very unhealthy. Why we 20 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: suppose have these great health systems. Well, some people would 21 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: say that these are sick systems there where you go 22 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: when you get sick. Why are we getting so sick? 23 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: Maybe it has to do with what we're putting into 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: our bodies every day, and I think that might be 25 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: what my guest today would say. I have Marjorie Wildcraft 26 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 1: with me. She is the female leader of the survival 27 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: and preparedness movement and in two thousand and nine she 28 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: founded the Grow network. She's all about growing your own 29 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: food and taking care of your body. 30 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: Marjorie, thank you so much for joining me. 31 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 3: Ok, thanks for having me on tutor. I really appreciate 32 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 3: the opportunity. 33 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: Well, it's funny because actually an email came in. 34 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: It was like, oh, you know, we want to talk 35 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: about this amazing woman. 36 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 2: She's all about taking care of the earth and taking 37 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: care of your body. And I was like, this is 38 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: what I need to know. 39 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: I a few months back somebody was selling like these 40 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: hydroponic grow you could grow your own food in your kitchen, 41 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: And honestly, I looked at it and I'm like, this 42 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: is what I want to do, But I have no 43 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: idea with a family of how do I How could 44 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,639 Speaker 1: I grow enough out of the stick in my kitchen? 45 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: You know, I mean for someone who hasn't done this, 46 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: you look at it, You're like this seems overwhelming. 47 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: I agree, and getting started is probably the hardest part 48 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: of the process. And no, you're not going to be 49 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: able to grow the food for six people in small 50 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: device in your kitchen, regardless of what the marketing says. 51 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 3: But if you have an average subourbon backyard, you know, 52 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: a quarter acre lot, you absolutely can grow a huge amount. 53 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 3: You know, I would say you could grow at least 54 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 3: half And I've done it year after year, and I've 55 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: taught a lot of people how to do it, and 56 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: I recommend getting started small. So and if it's winter 57 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: and that's what you got, you know, that's a great 58 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 3: place to start, like, no doubt, right, And I think 59 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 3: there is a place for that. But ultimately, yeah. 60 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: It makes no sense to me because I think winter 61 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: is when I should just be like sitting in my 62 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: kitchen with a tub of ice cream, ignoring growing, which 63 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: sounds terrible. So how do I I look outside, everything's white, 64 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: How can I possibly be growing something? 65 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: Well, you know, honestly, the best thing that I recommend 66 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: for people to start, and especially if you're one of 67 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 3: those people that think you have a black thumb, is 68 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 3: to get a couple of potted plant herbs, you know, 69 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 3: like basil, mint, chives, rosemary. Now these plants are bulletproof, 70 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: which means they're really hard to kill. You can kill them, 71 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 3: but they're really hard. And all you really need is 72 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: a sunny window. Sell and get one with as big 73 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 3: a pot as you can get, because if you get 74 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: a little pot, it doesn't have much soil in it, 75 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: and the more soil you have in there, the more 76 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 3: it will retain moisture and be forgiving for your erratic 77 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: watering schedule. And you know, just three or four of 78 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 3: these plants in the windowsill, and I'm going to tell 79 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: you, you know, there's a reason that they charge like six 80 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: dollars for that little packet of basil. It's because when 81 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: you add a little bit of fresh herb on a dish, 82 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 3: it's unbelievable how much changes that, like your spaghetti and sauce, 83 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: right your normal stuff. Your families used to. You put 84 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 3: a little bit of frustraisal on there, and they're going 85 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 3: to think you have a whole new recipe. And it's incredible. 86 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: The power of herb is incredible. And I've had a 87 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: lot of people get started just with growing a few herbs. 88 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 3: Here's the really good thing about it. Everything you learn 89 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 3: from those three or four plants in that windowsill, Like 90 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 3: if they don't get enough sunlight, they tend to get 91 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 3: real light green and get what we call leggy. They 92 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 3: try growing up and up and up because you're looking 93 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 3: for sunlight. Or if they get too dry, then their 94 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 3: little leaves start turning brown on the edges and then eventually, 95 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: you know, they die. Or if you jacket up with nitrogen, 96 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: they'll turn like bright yellow or orange. You know, don't 97 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 3: do any synthetic fertilizers, please, but everything you learn from 98 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 3: those plants are going to be the same way that 99 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 3: those plants will behave when you do have your garden outside, 100 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: whether it's a little four by four bed or whether 101 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: you're managing acres as and don't tell me, oh, I'm 102 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 3: never going to be managing acres of crops, because we 103 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: right now are living in an incredible vortex of change, 104 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: and you have no idea what you're going to be 105 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: doing next year, five years, ten years down the road. 106 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: So one thing you will be involved with is growing 107 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 3: some of your own food, because we're past that point 108 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 3: where it's an absolute necessity. 109 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: I just frequently feel like you were reading my mind 110 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: just now, because you're like, you can get these and 111 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: then they'll live with your erratic watering schedule. 112 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, how does she know that about me? 113 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: And then you said that about the crops, and you're like, 114 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: don't say you're never going to do it, because instantly 115 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: in my head, I'm like, oh, that's not me. But 116 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: I don't know, because honestly, life is changing, and I 117 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: do think that as I've seen having kids changes you. 118 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, really in so many ways. 119 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: Because you watch what you put into your child's body 120 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: and how it affects your child. And I think you know, 121 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: as adults, we can kind of mask how different foods 122 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: affect us, even though we may be feeling, you know, 123 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: sad or sluggish or angry or anxious. 124 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: We can mask that. 125 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: But I can see when I feed my kids certain 126 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: foods how they react. And we've had in our family 127 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: all of the food dyes that are in our foods, 128 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: which are just toxic in my opinion, How are total 129 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: behavior changes total behavior changes when they go into our kids' bodies. 130 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, I used to My kids would go off to 131 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 3: the grandparents for the weekend, and I loved it because 132 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 3: we got a break, but I hated it because they 133 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 3: would come jacked up with sugar and god knows what, 134 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: you know, would take a week to kind of get 135 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: them to calm down again. 136 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: A couple of hot times to say. When you started this, well. 137 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: Pretty much like most women, you know, right when I 138 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: was getting pregnant and starting to we had I had 139 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: two they're now twenty three and twenty five. And you 140 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 3: start getting very, very interested in nutrition and health most 141 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: most women and do it. I mean, it's always been 142 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 3: a part of our makeup, but you really start focusing 143 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: on it when you have kids and it's so vital. 144 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: There's a wonderful chart, it's actually in my book that 145 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: shows that over the years from you know, the nineteen hundred, 146 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 3: and this is data from the USDA. It's not anything 147 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: I've made up. The nutrition in the food has just 148 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 3: gone down to absolutely nothing. As of like two thousand, 149 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 3: there was no nutrition in the food supply at all, 150 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 3: and yet the rates of diseases are absolutely skyrocketing. They 151 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: also correlate their things like life essay and artificial fertilizers 152 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: and that kind of thing, which has helped it. In fact, 153 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 3: the disease thing is going so high off the chart, 154 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 3: it's basically they cut the chart off it's very simple. 155 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 3: On the physical level. There are two causes for disease, 156 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 3: and one is malnutrition and the other is toxicity. And 157 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: we know malnutrition is common sense, right. You know, if 158 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: you don't have vitamin C, survy, if you don't have 159 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: vitamin B, then you get peleegra. If you don't have 160 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: enough vitamin D, oh my god, there's a whole gamut 161 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 3: of things that can go wrong. So it's pretty simple 162 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: in that way, and you really do and there is nothing. 163 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 3: One example is, so I'm sixty two and when my 164 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: mom gave me a carrot for a snack, well for me, 165 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 3: then this is like twenty years ago for me to 166 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,239 Speaker 3: give my kids the equivalent amount of nutrition, I would 167 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 3: have to give them on eleven carrots. 168 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: Why wait what? 169 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: Okay, I was thinking there was limited nutrition in you know, 170 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: the cereal and the processed food that we're getting. You're 171 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: talking about the actual vegetables and fruits and everything. 172 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's right. Yeah, because the soils are depleted, so 173 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: most of our agriculture is growing in the same place, 174 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 3: and they only really focus on three nutrients, which is nitrogen, phosphorus, 175 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: and potassium, the big three that makes most plants throw, 176 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 3: but plants need I don't know, some ninety plus nutrients, 177 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 3: and some of them in very trace amounts. But if 178 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 3: you keep growing and growing and growing in that same place, 179 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 3: eventually all those minerals are gone except for the nitrogen, potassium, 180 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: and phosphorus, and that's what gets produced. And then so 181 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 3: these plants are devoid of any significant nutrition. I believe 182 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 3: that that's why, I don't know how big is the 183 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 3: supplement industry now is like huge, several hundred billion dollars, 184 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: And it's because people are realizing that there is no 185 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 3: nutrition in the food. But you can correct that fairly easily, 186 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 3: and really growing your own food, I believe, is an 187 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 3: absolute necessity. And what you grow in your backyard, you 188 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: can absolutely have nutrient dense, rich, fertile soil where you're pulling, 189 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: you know your plants are full of nutrients and vitality. 190 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: I can give you one example of it in my 191 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 3: own experience. When I first started by the way, I 192 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: did not grow up learning any of this stuff. Like 193 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 3: my first degree was an engineer. But when I had 194 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 3: decided to start growing food and we picked out a 195 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: piece of land, it was just nothing but sand and 196 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 3: I didn't know how important soil was. He So I, 197 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 3: you know, read the packet, broccoli plant the siege water 198 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: come back in three months, and you got your broccoli, right, 199 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 3: And broccoli is supposed to be a plant that's pretty 200 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: cold hardy. You know, if we have a cold snap 201 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: or even a freeze, it's supposed to do well. Now, 202 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 3: one other piece to this story is I'm a native 203 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: Floridian and for most of my life, if it got 204 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 3: below seventy degrees, I'm grabbing a jacket. Right. I was 205 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 3: always very very you being up and you're in Michigan, 206 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 3: you probably are laughing at this, but right, but you know, 207 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: I mean I just really was very very cold sensitive. 208 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 3: So anyways, I'm growing this broccoli and it dies and 209 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: and I'm like why, And so I go do what 210 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 3: you should do. Is I'm going through the neighborhood and 211 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 3: my friend Brandon was like the most amazing gardener ever. 212 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 3: And I'm like Brandon and his broccoli had gone through 213 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 3: the same freeze and it was like woo, not felt good, 214 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 3: you know, And I'm like, what is the difference? And 215 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 3: Brandon is he also happened to be a farrier and 216 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: he was gardening in, you know, like two feet of 217 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 3: composted horse maneuver and just really really rich fertile soil. 218 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 3: So his plants had all the minerals and nutrients and 219 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 3: everything that they could possibly want. So, you know, I 220 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 3: start building up my soil and having really rich, vital soil. 221 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 3: By the way, that is the secret to a green 222 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: thumb is having really good soil. Most of us think 223 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 3: of soil as don't get that in the house, you know, 224 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: like it's just dirt, right, you know, but soil is 225 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: so vital for the plants. So anyway, after a couple 226 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 3: of years of growing in really fertile soil, and I 227 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 3: was kind of shocked. And another thing, my homeschooled my daughter, 228 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: and we used to love to go to Idaho in 229 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: September to go to these primitive skills gatherings. It's just 230 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: a fun, fun thing to do. And it was such 231 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 3: a harsh transition because I'm going from Texas, which was 232 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 3: often one hundred degrees in the day and cooling down 233 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 3: to ninety at night, and then going to Idaho where 234 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 3: there'd be you know, you'd be crunching through the grass 235 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: in the morning with the frost, and one morning I 236 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 3: noticed I was going to get coffee with everybody else, 237 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 3: and I was barefoot, and I had a light jacket 238 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 3: on in a beanie and a pair of jeans, and 239 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 3: I've said wow. And my friend Janet was bundled up 240 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 3: to the Max boots, scarf, thick jacket and everything like that, 241 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 3: and We're both holding our steaming cups of coffee, and 242 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, my goodness, my cold tolerance has improved dramatically. 243 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 3: And I directly correlated that eating food for a couple 244 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 3: of years that was grown in really nutrient dense soil, 245 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 3: and my broccoli loved being right. And I'm eating these 246 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 3: foods that are extremely tolerant to all kinds of ranges, 247 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 3: and I became extremely tolerant to all kinds of ranges. 248 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: So the old saying you are what you eat, yeah, 249 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 3: it's a real deal. 250 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 2: I guess. 251 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: So. 252 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean you talked about disease and how much chronic 253 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: disease we have. Obviously we've seen a major uptick in 254 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: cancers and gastrointestinal cancers especially, which people are saying, well, 255 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: this is where all the food is landing and being processed, 256 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: and that's probably because the food is not good. That 257 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: we're ending up with these toxic cancers. But I wanted 258 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: to ask you. I mean, you've kind of come out 259 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: and said, well, you don't really believe that we should 260 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: be on excess pharmaceuticals, and I think that right now. 261 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you. 262 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: I was at a conference not too long ago and 263 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: a guy came up to me and was like, Hey, 264 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 1: I'm working with a group who can get free pharmaceuticals 265 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,679 Speaker 1: to anybody in the country. And I was wondering if 266 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: you want to join, and I said, you know, that's 267 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: not really my thing, so I don't think so. And 268 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: I said, he was like, well, you might be wondering. 269 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: How it works. 270 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: The pharmaceutical companies will give them to you free because 271 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: they want everyone in the household to be on a 272 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: pharmaceutical and they figure if you get some people on 273 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: for free, eventually everybody will be on a pharmaceutical. That 274 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: I get it as from a marketing standpoint, this is 275 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: what you make, and just like I would if I 276 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: made I don't know, if I made muffins and I 277 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: wanted everybody to eat my muffins, I would market to everybody, right, 278 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: I'd try to get everybody in the house eating my 279 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: muffins similar situation to having. 280 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 2: A pharmaceutical that's what they want to do. 281 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: I would say, as human beings, our goals should be 282 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: to try to have as few drugs in our system 283 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: as possible. And I have seen so many quick fixes 284 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: to taking care of your body with pharmaceuticals. I mean, 285 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: obviously we can talk about the ozempic, but even from 286 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: the the standpoint of parenting, I was talking to my 287 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: girls about this just yesterday. Actually, they were going through 288 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: all the kids in their class who are, well, she's ADHD, 289 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: and this person suffers from anxiety, and this person suffers 290 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: from depression. And all these kids have to go to 291 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: the office and take their medicines during the day. And 292 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: I believe that in many of those cases, changing their 293 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: diets would change that. 294 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 3: I totally agree with that one hundred percent. There's numerous 295 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 3: numerous studies on school children when they eat a higher 296 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 3: quality diet. First of all, they score higher on intelligence 297 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 3: tests if you have higher quality food. The other thing 298 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: is they have way less behavioral problems, and of course 299 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 3: you have less health problems because you're meeting the fundamental 300 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 3: need of the body, which is nutrition, vibrant, living foods, 301 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 3: and I'm so glad you're getting tired of quick fixes. 302 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the American motto, like give me a pill, 303 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 3: you know, growing your own food, which is something that 304 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: is basically what we've done forever until the last you know, 305 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 3: fifty years or so. And you know, your great grandparents 306 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 3: they never went to doctors hardly. 307 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: Ever, let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next 308 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: on a Tutor Dixon podcast. I lost my dad two 309 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: years ago to pancreatic cancer, and I look at my grandparents. 310 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean, my dad's grandfather lived into me going to college. 311 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 2: He was ninety eight years old. 312 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: You know, I look at the fact that the people 313 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: in past generations have lived past my parents. You know, 314 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: my father have lived past even his parents, like the 315 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: grandparents lived beyond. How is this happening that our lifespans 316 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: are getting shorter? That to me is very disturbing. And 317 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: my grandparents were on multiple medications for heart you know, 318 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: for blood pressure and everything else. 319 00:16:58,560 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: Everything you can be on. 320 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: It was like the stat and this that everything you 321 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: can be on. And I'm not saying that there are 322 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: times when people don't have to be on medication, you know, 323 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: there are certainly, but it does seem like we've become 324 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: a very sick society. 325 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 2: And I so let me ask you this. 326 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: One of the things that we keep hearing about is 327 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: making sure that kids have free breakfast in lunch in 328 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: school because they don't have you know, a lot of 329 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: these kids don't have the ability to get breakfast in 330 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: lunch at home. But if we're putting and Michelle Obama 331 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,719 Speaker 1: was famous for saying we wanted to have healthy lunches, 332 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: but then when we pilled back the layer of the 333 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: onions there, and I don't believe, like I'm not blaming her. 334 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: I think that school systems, they would find the best 335 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: price and then they get whatever that consists of a meal. 336 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: What would you say if you could get public schools 337 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: to have a snack time? Like, what would those snacks 338 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: be if you could bring in fresh food for kids? 339 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 3: Well, that's actually how I got into this whole thing. 340 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 3: So my first degree is an electrical engineering and I 341 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 3: worked for quite a few years in that industry. I'd 342 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 3: grown up in a fairly poor family, so I was 343 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 3: always interested in money. I'd become a section manager of 344 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 3: engineering as an expat for Motorola in Hong Kong and 345 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 3: Hong Kong is a place full of people who are 346 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: interested in money, and the Hong Kong Chinese and the 347 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 3: guys that worked for me said, hey, Marjorie, you should 348 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 3: we know you're interested in that. You should go listen 349 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: to this guy Robert who has this course. So I 350 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 3: went to this guy Robert's course, and he had these 351 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: mind blowing ideas and it eventually inspired me enough to 352 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 3: leave engineering create a very successful real estate investment business 353 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 3: that was so successful that Robert came back to me 354 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 3: and said, would you be the lead testimonial on some 355 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 3: of my infomercials? And that's how for four years I 356 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 3: was promoting Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad products and 357 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,159 Speaker 3: had a tremendous amount of success. By the time I 358 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 3: was forty, I'd already made my first million. I was 359 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 3: looking at making more, and I was volunteering at a 360 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 3: local elementary school to get locally grown organic food into 361 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 3: the elementary school. And I was working with Steve Bridges, 362 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 3: who at the time was the president of the Texas 363 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 3: Organic Farmers and Gardeners Market Association, and we thought what 364 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 3: we would do is we'd get this going and then 365 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 3: we would just duplicate it throughout Texas, right, which makes 366 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 3: a lot of sense. We would love to have organic 367 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 3: food into the school system. And that project was a 368 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 3: complete and utter failure. It completely changed my life, and 369 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 3: that's how I got into growing food, because I'll never 370 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 3: forget that final meeting when the whole thing completely collapsed 371 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 3: and I had organized. We were working in Red Rock, 372 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 3: Texas to get this little elementary school going, and we 373 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 3: were putting pen to paper on who would be the 374 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 3: farmers to provide the stuff to the schools. And there 375 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 3: were not enough organic farmers, small, organic farmers, big, or 376 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 3: for any kind of organic farmers in all of Bastrop 377 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 3: County to provide even part of the vegetables for one 378 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: small rural elementary school. Wow, and Texas has some big 379 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 3: counties and Steve once people heard about this project, people 380 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 3: kept hitting Steve up and saying, well, we want that 381 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 3: Nar county, we want that Nar county. And there were 382 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 3: not enough organic farmers in all of Texas to provide 383 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 3: anything near the amount it was poultry. I mean, the 384 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 3: people in Dallas nothing there for it work, you know. 385 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 3: And Bastrop, by the way, is right outside of Austin. 386 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 3: Supposedly fairly progressive area, and for me personally, I could 387 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 3: not stop shaking that night. Actually, I had organized the 388 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: community center where we're meeting, and you know, I'm trying 389 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 3: to put the chair under the table. I mean I'm 390 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 3: physically shaking. Everybody just sort of wandered off because we 391 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 3: knew the project was dead. But I knew there was 392 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 3: only four day is worth food in the grocery stores. 393 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 3: There are no big inventories. It's all adjusting time system 394 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: and on averager food gets delivered to you about fifteen 395 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 3: hundred miles. And I knew that at that time, I 396 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 3: was surrounded by about twenty million Texans who are all 397 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 3: armed to the teeth. And when they say there's only 398 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: we're only nine meals away from anarchy. I realized it 399 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 3: in that moment that night, and for years afterward, I 400 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 3: had night sweats and panic attacks, and I had too 401 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 3: small what do you do? 402 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 2: Because you think we have a food security issue? 403 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 3: We have a ginormous food security issue. And I realized then, 404 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 3: you know, I had been focusing on making wealth right 405 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 3: and making money, and I realized, you know, there's a 406 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 3: lot of people who know how to make money, and 407 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 3: I had definitely demonstrated then I knew how to make money. 408 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 3: There's hardly anybody who knows how to grow food, and 409 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 3: there are definitely scenarios where no amount of money is 410 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 3: going to buy you food for your kids. I said, 411 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 3: I just I've got to learn how to grow food, 412 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 3: and I've got to teach other people how to grow food, 413 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: and we have to completely rebuild the entire food supply 414 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 3: from the ground up. So, you know, bless his heart, 415 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 3: Willie Nelson, with all the small farm made concerts, it 416 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 3: didn't it didn't work. You know, most of those small 417 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 3: farms all have all gone out of business. Now we've 418 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 3: since then. 419 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: You're giving me chills because this is something that we've 420 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: talked about in the state of Michigan. And I think 421 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: that one of the things that you probably don't even 422 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: see is the amount of overreach that has happened from 423 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: these bureaucracies that come in and try to shut down 424 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: the small family farm. You know, you've got you've got 425 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: these big food companies that have lobbyists and they have 426 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: a way to get We have no local slaughterhouses. We 427 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: have family farms shutting down. I've been saying this for years, 428 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: like when are we going to pay attention to what 429 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: is happening there is not. I mean, we are selling 430 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: off farmland to create solar And it's not to say 431 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: that renewable energy isn't important. It's to say, wait a minute, 432 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 1: this is not These are two things that are not 433 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: mutually exclusive. You can't have one and say, well, food's 434 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: not that important. We have to still have the family farm. 435 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, they shut off water to five hundred thousand acres 436 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 3: of potatoes last year in Idaho because they want to 437 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 3: build a data center and they needed that water. Now, 438 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 3: there was enough of an uproar that after a week 439 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 3: or two, you know, the water got back turned on. 440 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 3: But do you think that's not going to stop. You 441 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 3: know that's not going to stop. 442 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: You talked about the seventies before we got on, and honestly, 443 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, we have a factory that is 444 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: coming into the state of Michigan, going right on the watershed. 445 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: This is planning to take seven hundred thousand gallons of 446 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: water a day there and they'll be running forever chemicals 447 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: through this factory. And I'm like, where do the seven 448 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: hundred thousand gallons go once they're processed? 449 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: Every day? And I immediately. 450 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: Thought about my childhood and I'm like, I feel like 451 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: I've become one of those people that's going to go, 452 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: you know, tie myself to. 453 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 2: The tree, you know, and say what are we doing? 454 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 3: Stop? 455 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: And when I was a kid, I was like, what 456 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: are these people doing? 457 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 2: Why do they why do they think they can fight this? 458 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 2: And now I'm like, I get it. It was because 459 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 2: it's the future. 460 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 3: Well here's here's the thing that is the saving grace 461 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 3: for this. So yes, I had a horrific time. And 462 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 3: by the way, this was the early two thousands, and 463 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 3: everybody thought I was crazy, you know. And after a 464 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 3: while I was talking about it to people and we 465 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 3: were like, no longer. I'm married into a big Texas family. 466 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 3: And after a while we were like not being invited 467 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 3: to events, and I mean there was a shunning, right, 468 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 3: But I just said, I know what I know, and 469 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 3: I'm going to do this. But here is a saving 470 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 3: grace is when you first of all, it doesn't it 471 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 3: doesn't take that much space. Really, in a backyard sized space, 472 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 3: you can grow a huge amount of food. And I 473 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 3: have a very simple system that I've developed where somebody 474 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 3: who doesn't know anything, maybe they're older, or they're out 475 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 3: of shape. They can be producing a lot of food 476 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 3: in their backyard at least half and it's very simple. 477 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 3: It's easy to do. I've cherry picked of the hundreds 478 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 3: of ways to grow food. I've cherry picked the three 479 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 3: easiest and fastest that anybody can do. The other thing 480 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 3: is is by doing this for myself, I have been 481 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: healed on every single level that you can imagine physically, 482 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 3: no more allergies. You know, my energy levels are amazing, 483 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 3: My body is extremely healthy. I train in jiu jitsu 484 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: and everybody can't believe, like, oh my god, you're sixty 485 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 3: two and you just submitted that guy over there who's 486 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 3: thirty and muscle bound. I'm like yeah, yeah. Emotionally, you know, 487 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 3: I was not concerned during the twenty ten era or 488 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 3: even in the twenty twenty when all the grocery stores 489 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 3: were closed, like I know how to provide my own 490 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 3: basic needs for myself and my family. Again, mentally, you 491 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 3: are smarter when you eatigh quality food. As Again, there's 492 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 3: reams and realms of studies that demonstrate that that when 493 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 3: you're eating really nutrient dense food, you are more intelligent. 494 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 3: They just have tons of intelligence and then spiritually, you know, 495 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 3: you're working with your hands with forces of creation, and 496 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 3: regardless of what religious or spiritual tradition you're from, you 497 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 3: will start to have magical things happen. It's unbelievable how 498 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,679 Speaker 3: wonderful it gets to be, so really every level that 499 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 3: I can imagine that you can imagine all the Maslow's 500 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 3: hierarchy of needs. By simply growing, you know, some of 501 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 3: your food in your backyard will heal you on so 502 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 3: many ways. It's incredible. And the other really saving grace 503 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,880 Speaker 3: in this is and I hear you about the whole thing. 504 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 3: I know, I never wanted to be one of those 505 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 3: that chained myself to a tree, but I really like, 506 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 3: so what can I do? I can teach people how 507 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 3: to grow food in their backyard is my activism. But 508 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 3: the saving grace in all of this is, in order 509 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 3: to provide your basic needs for yourself, you do not 510 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 3: need a military, industrial and governmental complex to feed you. 511 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we're missing. I mean we really for 512 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: so long we've believed that we need that. 513 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 3: Exactly, And you say, when will people do it? And 514 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 3: I've been asking that myself for years, for decades, because 515 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: I know this is my magging mission. I want to 516 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 3: get people to grow more food. And it's the solution 517 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 3: to so many things, you know, like what, And it's 518 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 3: really the most pleasurable half an hour a day that 519 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 3: you'll spend or hour a day that you'll spend in 520 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 3: your backyard with your plants and your chickens and doing 521 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 3: your thing. 522 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: I mean, really, let's take a quick commercial break. We'll 523 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: continue next on the Tutor Dixon pot cast. I'm a 524 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: visual learner and I know you have a book and 525 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the book too, but you 526 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: have a DVD also and the DVD. I'm like, oh, 527 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,400 Speaker 1: you have a DVD series about growing here, and there's 528 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: the book The Grossest. 529 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 3: My publisher like, like, they would kill me if I 530 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 3: didn't get on and push them. 531 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 2: We'll put that. 532 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: Well, we'll connect that too so people can see where 533 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: it is. So you have the book, you have the 534 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: DVD series. 535 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 2: What tell us a. 536 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: Little bit about that so people, because it does sound overwhelming. 537 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: I mean over the summer, I was like, Okay, I'm 538 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: going to try to start this. And we put out 539 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: some tomatoes, and we put out some strawberries and the 540 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: girls were planting some cucumbers and pumpkins and things like that, 541 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: and we were we're working. So even getting the girls. 542 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: I have four girls, so even getting them involved, I've 543 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: been trying to push them and you know, we start 544 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: with flowers and then we moved onto vegetables and fruits. 545 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: And and we've and we have I have one. 546 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: That loves plants. She's like the plant kit. She takes 547 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: care of all the plants in the house. And she 548 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: seems to have figured that out. But it is I 549 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: mean I think that that's it seems overwhelming. But even 550 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: starting small was really fun. 551 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: With the kids. 552 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, yes I did. I actually was. In two 553 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 3: thousand and nine, I created this whole video series on 554 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 3: you know, food production systems for a backyard or small farm, 555 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 3: a total engineering title which has absolutely no sex in 556 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,479 Speaker 3: the marketing at all. But it went viral. I mean 557 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 3: this is early internet days, and like almost a million 558 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 3: downloads on that thing, and I was just giving it 559 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 3: away for free. Missed a huge marketing and business opportunity. 560 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: But that's another conversation since then. And the feedback I 561 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 3: got from that was it was like overwhelming, for it 562 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 3: was too much. I wish there's any rainwater collection systems 563 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 3: and you know, some all kinds of things that it 564 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 3: was too much, and so since then I've simplified it, 565 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 3: and anybody who wants to watch it, it's a free 566 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 3: webinar at back Yardfood Production dot com. That's Backyardfood Production 567 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: dot com and it's a free webinar and again it'll 568 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 3: show you how to grow you know, lots of food 569 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 3: at least half of your own food in a backyard 570 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 3: sized space in less than an hour day. And this 571 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 3: is assuming that you have no experience and that you're 572 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 3: older or out of shape. It's a very simple three 573 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 3: part system. And actually you could even do it in 574 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 3: the size of three parking spots if you didn't have 575 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 3: a lot of room, and you can do that. I mean, 576 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 3: if you think about this, it's in your blood, it's 577 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 3: in your genetics throughout all of your lineage. Other than 578 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 3: say the last century, this is what everybody did. Everybody 579 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 3: had a kitchen, garden, everybody had some chickens, you know, 580 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 3: it was that was the part of life. By the way, 581 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 3: with your girls. Traditionally, taking care of the chickens is 582 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 3: children's work, So collecting the eggs and then taking care 583 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 3: of the hens and feeding them and make sure they 584 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 3: got water, and there's these wonderful, wonderful bonds that build 585 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 3: with the chickens and the b and then you know, 586 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 3: giving kids meaningful work these days is a really important thing. 587 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 3: And having them bringing the eggs in that then you 588 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 3: teach them how to cook palm lists, you know, uh, 589 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 3: you know, it's hugely significant that they're contributing to the 590 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 3: family in this way, and it's it's really important to 591 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 3: do that with them as you know. 592 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 1: As possible, I say before, and that's what we've found 593 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: with the girls. 594 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 2: It's like there's a there's a real pride. 595 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I always say anytime you're making something, because 596 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: I come from a manufacturing background, anytime you're making something, 597 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: there's a real pride in ownership of what you've made. 598 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: You know, like I did that, I contributed. 599 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: And I think that's the same even when it's the 600 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: family meal, when the kids, whenever I'm in the kitchen, 601 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: the girls are like, what's my job? 602 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 2: What's my job? 603 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: There's never a time when they are like, Okay, Mom's 604 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: making dinner, I'm out of here, which I find fascinating me. 605 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: Even in their preteen and teenage years. They're like, what's 606 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: my job? What can I do you? And that is 607 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: I do think that gives them ownership over the household, 608 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: ownership over what they're putting in their bodies, and it 609 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: just makes them more conscious of like how food is 610 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: made and how what we put inside of ourselves to 611 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: fuel ourselves. And it has been fascinating to watch how 612 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 1: they when we did plant the garden last summer, how 613 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:24,719 Speaker 1: they wanted to always say. 614 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: They were like, I'm harvesting. 615 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: I got to go look, mom, the tomatoes are red. 616 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: I gotta go harvest them. And there was a joy 617 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 1: in that. 618 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 3: There is there, really is. I did a serious so 619 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 3: I've been trying to get people to grow food forever 620 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 3: and that was the train that thought that I lost. 621 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 3: But one of the things I did was I found 622 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 3: a bunch of the perception is people the only people 623 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 3: who grow food are people that are absolutely desperate, or 624 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 3: their migrant workers, or it's some horrible thing. And we 625 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 3: get a lot of that quite frankly from the programming. Yeah, 626 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 3: I mean, we're all becoming more and more aware of 627 00:32:55,480 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 3: what Hollywood and what the music industry actually is. And 628 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 3: if you look every movie you can think of the 629 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 3: farmer's portrade as an idiot or the only people who 630 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 3: are doing this are starving, but nothing actually can be 631 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 3: further from the truth. And so I did a whole 632 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 3: series of podcasts with people who were extremely either wealthy 633 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 3: or well positioned. So like one guy was an executive 634 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,719 Speaker 3: for a healthcare company with a division of two thousand people. 635 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 3: Another was a CEO of a high tech company with 636 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 3: twenty five million in a you know, a seed funding, 637 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 3: and you know those kind of people. And the characteristic 638 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 3: that they had in common was they were producing some 639 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 3: part of their own food in their backyard. And I'd 640 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 3: ask them, you know why, you know what? And the 641 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,959 Speaker 3: first thing is, these are extremely productive people, and they 642 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 3: have more than enough money to buy anything they want. 643 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,080 Speaker 3: They were not doing this for any kind of economic reason. 644 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,480 Speaker 3: And most of them said, well, first of all, electronics 645 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 3: and the yard don't mix, so it was great to 646 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 3: get away from my phone and my computer for that 647 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 3: half hour, forty five minutes hour or whatever time it was. 648 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 3: The other thing is they are extremely productive people, so 649 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,399 Speaker 3: they still want to be producing something even when they're 650 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 3: in more of a downtime. And growing your own food 651 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 3: fits that bill, you know, And they were so proud. 652 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 3: And of course, when you're at that higher level in something, 653 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 3: you're not producing anything tangible, right, You're right, you know, 654 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 3: there's nothing tangible. So when they had jars of their 655 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 3: own salsa, or you know, three dozen eggs that were 656 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 3: all the different multicolored eggs, or you know, the different 657 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 3: things that they had produced, they were so happy and 658 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 3: proud and they were eating it and they were giving 659 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 3: it to their friends when they came over and it 660 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 3: was you could tell it was you know, they were like, really, 661 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 3: you know, I know, I'm mister big so and so, 662 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 3: but this is the most enjoyable thing than I do 663 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 3: every day, and I wouldn't give it up. So we 664 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 3: have a lot of programming to undo. 665 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and at the very least do it because 666 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: you will be smarter and you'll feel better. 667 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,439 Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, the feeling better. 668 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: I don't think that people even understand how bad they feel. 669 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: I always say, it's like when I was pregnant, I 670 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: had twins, and right at the end of my pregnancy, 671 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: people were like, oh my gosh, how isn't it so hard? 672 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: But you gain weight slowly, even though it's quickly in 673 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 1: the amount of time that you're pregnant, you gain weight slowly. 674 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,479 Speaker 1: So I thought the whole time, yeah, I'm doing really well. 675 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 1: You know, I've never been on bed rest. I'm going 676 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: grocery shopping. I'm totally fine. And then you lose that 677 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: weight overnight because you have the babies. And then I 678 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: will never forget that first grocery store trip after having babies, 679 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 1: after they were out, because I was. 680 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 2: Like, I can do everything so fast, and I. 681 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: Don't think like when you're unhealthy, and not that I 682 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: was unhealthy, it's just really heavy. But if I had 683 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: been just generally that overweight, I had no idea how 684 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: much it was weighing on every part of my body, 685 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,919 Speaker 1: you know, And I just think about that that has 686 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,440 Speaker 1: stuck with me for all these years because I'm like, 687 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: it was such a quick difference, and I could my 688 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: ankles felt different, my body moved differently. I mean, obviously 689 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: I was like, you know, all off balance with two 690 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 1: people inside me, but it's just like that amount of 691 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: weight just being gone, and I just think, when you 692 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: look at the stuff, you can be so healthy and 693 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be something that you're popping a 694 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: pill every day.
