0:00.0 | Today I'm going to talk about why you can't resist stuff like this. The food companies, especially |
0:06.3 | junk food companies, have a big problem. There's no profit in whole food. There's no profit in |
0:13.1 | selling meat and eggs and even milk and cheese, especially if you're doing grass fed and you're |
0:19.5 | doing high quality eggs. There's no profit |
0:21.8 | on that. The margins are so slim. A farmer makes like maybe one or two percent if they're lucky. |
0:27.4 | What did they have to do to solve it? They had to give you something that gave you a much greater |

1:19.0 | starch, seed oils, salt, and flavoring to hit this maximum pleasure, especially after you consume all the sugar and starch and it affects |
1:29.9 | your blood sugar. Now, we're dealing with a body addiction because the artificial flavor |
1:35.6 | chemicals are very, very different than natural flavor chemicals. In other words, these artificial |
