0:00.0	Oh, holy dough balls. Oh, I just ate so many dough balls. Hey, everybody. It's been a busy day working in the news store
0:13.4	and I haven't been able to get lunch. So I grabbed something from the 9-11, which in case you didn't know,
0:18.0	it's just a 7-11, but they gave you a bunch of weird pamphlets. God, what did I even eat?
0:22.1	Chili vanilla chumbo. That can't be good. Re-wetted beef, high fructose corn syrup, higher fructose corn syrup,
0:35.3	Simon mono nitrate, and dickle butter. That also can't be good. What is it? Dickel butter. Hold on. God,
0:45.2	it says here it's the butter made from the milk of dickles. That sounds made up. I think someone's
0:53.2	pranking my phone. You know what we should talk about today?
1:03.9	America's toxic relationship with food. I think it's still in my esophagus. It did taste great,
1:11.9	really pinged the endorphins. So you may recall that we, but more specifically not me,

1:32.0	in this country related to our diet. We basically shame people for their eating habits while
1:36.9	simultaneously making it impossible to eat healthy. As a result, Americans young and old and
1:42.6	Cody aged alike are facing an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. We're really
1:48.3	bad at food in this country, not just in terms of nutrition, but really every aspect. For example,
1:55.5	we produce enough food to waste 40% of it, but somehow also have more than 30 million
2:01.4	undernourished Americans. That math doesn't seem right, but it is. The image is on the screen
2:08.0	just said so, and there's no way to change them. I can't change them. So that's the episode.
2:13.9	Our food. Why is it bad? What's wrong with the system? Why can't I get a normal bag of spinach?
2:20.0	It's always way too much in the bag and goes bad in like two days. It gets all wet, but a
2:25.6	Ziploc bag exists, put a seal on it, make it better spinach fools. It's a broad subject is my point,
