| 0:00.0 | Hey gang, this is Rip. This week I am on site in Black Mountain North Carolina, about 20 |
| 0:10.0 | miles outside of Asheville North Carolina. I am here for the ninth annual Camp Plants |
| 0:15.9 | Doc event. It's going to be a barn burner of a of a weekend. This location may possibly |
| 0:23.2 | be one of the most gorgeous places in the Northeast United States. It sits at about 3,000 feet |
| 0:30.8 | of elevation. It is so foresty, it's loaded with rotodenderm and ferns and pine trees. There |
| 0:39.6 | is a raging stream that bifurcates at the top of the property and slices through the campus. |
| 0:47.1 | It is really nothing short of magical. I want you to know that we will be returning to our |
| 0:53.2 | regularly scheduled programming of the podcast very soon. But in the meantime, I want to bring |
| 0:59.3 | you this lecture from the 2018 Plants Doc stage. This individual kills it. He will be returning |

| 2:09.9 | NutritionFacts? I mean, every day, it's another blog, it's another video. I mean, this guy, does he |
| 2:18.3 | ever sleep? How not to die? I think how not to die is going to become the next China study. |
| 2:26.3 | And the China study is oversold over two million copies. He's also got the How Not to Die Cookbook. |
