0:00.0	It so fascinates me where we've lost the importance of food.
0:06.0	I mean, our food is quite literally the building blocks of our body of our being.
0:11.0	Yeah.
0:12.0	And it's wild to me that we've seemed to have lost this connection.
0:14.0	It's almost like we don't understand what food does to us and how it's literally sustaining our life. It's the foundation of our entire being.
0:23.6	It's the difference between being sick and being well.

1:18.5	she even traveled to Washington, D.C. to testify to the United States Senate about the corruption
1:24.4	of the U.S. food and agricultural industry.
1:31.6	In this conversation, we get into the truth about where our food comes from,
