| 0:04.7 | comes out, you could reshare that so people could see it because it really is quite impressive |
| 0:08.8 | of a cauliflower. I was a little jelly. I have to be honest, I was a little jelly and you not only |
| 0:13.7 | harvested an eighth the cauliflower in the traditional sense, but you used every single piece of the |
| 0:17.9 | cauliflower and that speaks to a lot of the things you care about, going zero ways. So why don't you |
| 0:23.2 | talk just a little bit about why that matters to you? Yeah. Food waste is |
| 0:29.9 | just it boggles my mind how much food waste we create and 40% of the food that is grown and |
| 0:35.9 | produced is wasted. And when you think about how many folks across the country and across the |
| 0:40.0 | world who are food insecure for whatever reason, right, it's really just unacceptable. And I think |

| 1:24.4 | a cauliflower in its true form. Even for this day, even to even this year, that was a new thing |
| 1:30.2 | you learned. Even this year it kind of was a you know, aha moment where I'm like, oh my gosh, |
| 1:36.7 | like I consider myself very educated on the food system. And still know that cauliflower has |
| 1:41.5 | these leaves, I felt kind of embarrassed, but it was such a good learning. And you know, I see |
| 1:47.1 | this thing start to grow. It had to wait at least three, four pounds. Oh my gosh. And I hacked |
| 1:51.9 | this thing off. And I'm like, I could I could eat this. I could eat all of this. And I looked it |
