0:00:11.040,0:00:13.438 Good morning everyone. 0:00:15.360,0:00:18.746 I'm a clinical and holistic nutritionist, 0:00:19.131,0:00:21.870 and I have been for the past eight years. 0:00:22.517,0:00:27.238 And I honestly can't imagine[br]ever being or doing anything else. 0:00:28.070,0:00:31.963 This is a field that is just[br]so fascinating to me, 0:00:31.963,0:00:34.682 and I feel like it's the reason[br]I was put on Earth, 0:00:34.682,0:00:36.742 is to share this information. 0:00:36.742,0:00:41.257 Because I believe so strongly[br]in using food as medicine, 0:00:41.514,0:00:46.471 and over the last eight years,[br]I have seen over and over again: 0:00:46.471,0:00:50.413 give the body what it needs[br]and it will heal itself. 0:00:50.873,0:00:54.599 Take away what it doesn't need[br]and it will heal itself. 0:00:56.789,0:00:59.703 There's one thing though,[br]that as I do this work, 0:00:59.703,0:01:02.694 that blows me away every single day, 0:01:03.425,0:01:07.771 and that is how much[br]our food supply has changed. 0:01:09.293,0:01:13.343 Our food supply has changed[br]more in the last 50 years 0:01:13.343,0:01:17.163 than it has in the previous 10,000 years. 0:01:18.152,0:01:20.221 So many things have happened, 0:01:20.221,0:01:23.931 and we're going to talk[br]all about what's happened 0:01:23.931,0:01:27.523 and how to avoid[br]the landmines, the pitfalls, 0:01:27.523,0:01:30.820 and how to use food[br]as medicine to really thrive. 0:01:31.741,0:01:34.564 Because as a result[br]of the changes in our food supply, 0:01:34.564,0:01:38.564 we're dealing with health issues[br]that we never had to deal with before. 0:01:38.564,0:01:41.112 Our kids are dealing with health issues 0:01:41.112,0:01:43.455 that they've never[br]had to deal with before. 0:01:44.471,0:01:46.713 We have celiac disease. 0:01:47.295,0:01:50.245 We have autoimmune issues in children 0:01:51.081,0:01:52.961 that never existed before. 0:01:53.363,0:01:55.501 Raging food sensitivities. 0:01:55.501,0:01:58.263 I remember being a kid; 0:01:58.263,0:02:00.691 as a benefit you get to eat[br]anything you want 0:02:00.691,0:02:02.705 and it really doesn't affect you. 0:02:03.165,0:02:05.591 Kids have really kind of lost[br]that privelege today 0:02:05.591,0:02:07.763 because of what's happened[br]to the food supply. 0:02:07.959,0:02:10.565 We've got major digestive disturbances. 0:02:11.247,0:02:15.543 And the one that really gets me[br]is mental and emotional issues 0:02:15.543,0:02:20.611 like we have never seen before[br]in children - depression and anxiety. 0:02:21.234,0:02:27.496 And all of that can absolutely[br]be helped, reversed, eliminated 0:02:28.418,0:02:30.670 through using food as medicine. 0:02:31.173,0:02:32.935 And that's the power in this. 0:02:33.381,0:02:37.673 In using this information,[br]taking it into your daily life, 0:02:37.673,0:02:42.614 because your children's, our children's[br]organs are forming now 0:02:42.614,0:02:46.141 to what their health is going to be[br]in their adult life. 0:02:46.575,0:02:49.303 Their glandular systems,[br]their digestive systems, 0:02:49.303,0:02:53.012 so what you choose to feed them[br]and how you feed them 0:02:53.012,0:02:56.143 is laying the foundation[br]for their adult life, 0:02:56.143,0:02:58.493 for how their health is going to be. 0:03:00.304,0:03:06.352 So this field of holistic nutrition,[br]it still seems to be very new, 0:03:06.995,0:03:09.745 and an alternative thought pattern. 0:03:10.634,0:03:13.557 So I just wanted to describe[br]what it actually is. 0:03:13.557,0:03:19.204 It's a philosophy that talks about health[br]as an interplay between all the systems. 0:03:19.204,0:03:23.432 The mental and the emotional,[br]the physical and chemical, 0:03:23.432,0:03:27.671 and the spiritual and environmental[br]aspects of one's health and being. 0:03:28.838,0:03:30.113 How can we separate it? 0:03:30.113,0:03:32.391 For me, I can't understand[br]how we can separate 0:03:32.391,0:03:35.196 the mind from the body from the spirit. 0:03:35.989,0:03:37.527 It's impossible. 0:03:38.120,0:03:42.053 Sounds like this is a new concept[br]but it's not, it's ancient wisdom. 0:03:42.053,0:03:46.096 And its time has come[br]to bring it back into the mainstream 0:03:46.096,0:03:50.611 so that we can achieve wellness[br]and experience wellness 0:03:50.611,0:03:52.034 on all levels. 0:03:53.194,0:03:56.504 And I'm going to go into[br]what's happened to the food supply 0:03:56.504,0:03:58.241 and we're going to talk about food, 0:03:58.241,0:04:03.232 but I would be remiss if I didn't start,[br]especially as a holistic nutritionist, 0:04:03.232,0:04:06.066 with the mental and with the emotional. 0:04:07.171,0:04:10.847 Because in order to make this last[br]when we make changes in your diet 0:04:10.847,0:04:12.266 and changes in your life, 0:04:12.266,0:04:16.806 you take it away from being a diet[br]and it becomes a lifestyle. 0:04:16.806,0:04:19.982 And so much of that[br]is your perspective around food, 0:04:19.982,0:04:21.825 your approach to food. 0:04:22.249,0:04:25.411 How many of us think[br]of food as a relationship? 0:04:26.221,0:04:29.444 I think we think of food as a habit, 0:04:29.444,0:04:33.865 as something we do, three times,[br]four times a day, however often we eat. 0:04:33.865,0:04:36.003 But if we can start[br]to shift that perspective 0:04:36.003,0:04:39.275 and look at food as an approach to life, 0:04:39.275,0:04:41.535 something much bigger and deeper, 0:04:41.535,0:04:44.298 something that can connects us[br]to the world around us 0:04:44.298,0:04:46.091 and to our families, 0:04:46.091,0:04:49.435 that's the perspective shift[br]that takes away the diet 0:04:49.435,0:04:51.810 and becomes a lifestyle. 0:04:51.810,0:04:53.616 And that's what we have to talk about. 0:04:55.060,0:04:59.636 For years, I have been teaching[br]clients to separate 0:04:59.636,0:05:03.729 emotional nourishment[br]from biological development, 0:05:03.729,0:05:08.369 where we say that food feeds us[br]and advances us biologically, 0:05:08.369,0:05:10.080 and it keeps us alive, 0:05:10.080,0:05:12.402 but it shouldn't nourish us emotionally. 0:05:12.658,0:05:15.785 We shouldn't turn to food[br]when we're stressed, 0:05:15.785,0:05:17.957 and when we're tired[br]and when we're lonely, 0:05:17.957,0:05:22.909 but we teach them, turn to primary foods -[br]your sense of spiritual connection, 0:05:22.909,0:05:27.205 your relationships,[br]exercise that you enjoy, 0:05:27.205,0:05:29.033 creative outlets. 0:05:29.565,0:05:34.250 And that philosophy worked for me[br]for a really long time, 0:05:34.250,0:05:38.641 but then most recently,[br]I really started thinking about it. 0:05:38.641,0:05:40.243 Is that complete? 0:05:40.582,0:05:42.583 Is that possible even, 0:05:42.583,0:05:46.313 to separate emotional nourishment[br]from biological development? 0:05:47.664,0:05:49.344 Is it honest? 0:05:50.034,0:05:53.189 And the answer[br]that I came to was 'no'. 0:05:54.181,0:05:57.640 And actually, it dawned on me, 0:05:57.640,0:06:02.765 and I felt a little ashamed[br]that I hadn't come to it sooner, 0:06:04.514,0:06:08.053 because I am 100 percent Italian. 0:06:10.034,0:06:15.621 How can I separate emotional nourishment[br]from biological development? 0:06:16.331,0:06:19.910 My friends knew during[br]my childhood and adolescence 0:06:19.910,0:06:23.011 not to call me on Sundays,[br]I couldn't be with them, 0:06:23.011,0:06:24.784 because, you know, we were eating. 0:06:24.784,0:06:26.605 That's what we were doing on Sunday. 0:06:26.605,0:06:30.934 And we would be at the table[br]from 12 to 6:00 or 7:00 at night 0:06:30.934,0:06:33.932 and that was a tradition,[br]that was a ritual, 0:06:33.932,0:06:35.992 it was a family ceremony. 0:06:36.818,0:06:40.045 So food, it's not just for our bodies, 0:06:40.752,0:06:43.851 it's also for our mind and our emotion. 0:06:43.851,0:06:50.033 And it's a way to connect to so much more[br]than just the actual food that we eat. 0:06:51.114,0:06:55.794 Now I've been calling this[br]the form and function of food, right? 0:06:55.794,0:06:59.881 So food is more[br]than its physiological function, 0:06:59.881,0:07:01.251 there'a form to it. 0:07:01.251,0:07:04.446 It's the difference between[br]a house and a home. 0:07:04.446,0:07:09.126 A house is a structure[br]that will protect us from the elements. 0:07:09.126,0:07:12.813 But a home is a place[br]where we store our memories 0:07:12.813,0:07:17.056 and our emotions, and the things[br]that are most dear to us, 0:07:17.056,0:07:20.831 the place that we go[br]for solace and nourishment. 0:07:22.730,0:07:25.482 You can ask any morning coffee drinker - 0:07:25.995,0:07:28.484 How many of you[br]are morning coffee drinkers? 0:07:28.850,0:07:29.960 Right? 0:07:29.960,0:07:32.807 It's not just about[br]getting a cup of coffee, 0:07:32.807,0:07:35.759 it's about the ritual of it,[br]it's about the ceremony of it. 0:07:35.759,0:07:38.063 I see clients for the first session[br]and they say, 0:07:38.063,0:07:41.990 "Don't take away my coffee.[br]I'm not coming back if you do." 0:07:41.990,0:07:44.675 It's their weapon to the world. 0:07:44.675,0:07:47.356 It's the security blanket[br]to go out into the world 0:07:47.356,0:07:50.954 and have this warm cup[br]of something that nourishes you, 0:07:50.954,0:07:54.299 your little buddy, your friend,[br]at your desk by your side. 0:07:54.714,0:07:56.463 It's so much more... 0:07:57.763,0:08:00.815 It's so much more[br]than just that morning coffee. 0:08:02.202,0:08:06.239 I also relate - it's the difference[br]between clothes and fashion. 0:08:07.244,0:08:09.657 Clothes are so much more[br]than their function 0:08:09.657,0:08:11.798 to cover our bodies[br]and to keep us warm. 0:08:11.798,0:08:17.288 They are a tool for self-expression,[br]for creativity, for individuality. 0:08:17.288,0:08:20.598 It's fun to dress according[br]to how you feel, right? 0:08:20.598,0:08:23.821 It's a way to let the world know[br]who you are, how you feel, 0:08:23.821,0:08:26.192 and how things are working. 0:08:26.599,0:08:31.720 So if we can have this approach to food,[br]it lays a foundation, 0:08:31.720,0:08:38.110 because I can talk all day long[br]about greens, and water, and grains, 0:08:38.110,0:08:40.023 and all of that stuff, 0:08:40.023,0:08:44.851 but it's not going to be a finishing work,[br]unless the perspective has shifted. 0:08:45.310,0:08:50.209 So we get that foundation in place,[br]and then we move on to the physical, 0:08:50.209,0:08:51.726 and to the chemical. 0:08:52.840,0:08:54.661 That's what we're going to talk about: 0:08:54.661,0:08:57.173 challenges in our food supply. 0:08:57.706,0:08:59.951 And we have a lot of them. 0:08:59.951,0:09:04.630 Because in the last 50 years, our food[br]supply has changed so dramatically. 0:09:04.630,0:09:08.406 The reason I'm telling you this[br]is not to incite doom and gloom, 0:09:08.406,0:09:10.281 but rather, empowerment, 0:09:10.281,0:09:14.652 because awareness is the first step[br]towards changing anything. 0:09:14.652,0:09:18.552 And the reason I'm standing up here[br]is because I am certain, 0:09:18.552,0:09:24.483 I will tell you, so many of us[br]have no idea how amazing we can feel, 0:09:24.483,0:09:28.141 how many extra levels[br]of wellness that there are 0:09:28.141,0:09:30.800 than we're currently[br]experiencing right now. 0:09:32.482,0:09:35.833 First major challenge[br]is soil depletion. 0:09:36.777,0:09:40.671 Do you believe that we have[br]to eat three apples today 0:09:40.671,0:09:44.702 to equal the nutrient value[br]of one apple in 1940? 0:09:46.324,0:09:48.105 How do you like them apples? 0:09:48.105,0:09:49.683 (Laughter) 0:09:49.683,0:09:55.752 85 percent soil depletion is what[br]we're dealing with in North America. 0:09:56.415,0:09:59.692 Less minerals in the soil - weaker plants. 0:10:00.397,0:10:04.084 Weaker plants - we need[br]to spray them with more chemicals. 0:10:05.292,0:10:08.795 We need minerals for so many[br]functions within the body. 0:10:08.795,0:10:12.363 We need minerals[br]for our bones, for our teeth. 0:10:12.363,0:10:17.055 We need minerals so that[br]our nervous system can function properly. 0:10:17.055,0:10:20.335 There are nutritional[br]roots to mental illness. 0:10:20.335,0:10:23.225 So much of it lies[br]in mineral deficiency. 0:10:23.613,0:10:27.486 And we need minerals[br]for our metabolic process to function. 0:10:28.208,0:10:31.202 The body doesn't work without minerals. 0:10:33.005,0:10:35.532 This next one is the one[br]that really gets me. 0:10:36.708,0:10:40.426 Hormones and antibiotics[br]in our meat supply. 0:10:41.101,0:10:44.363 So what I want to know[br]is when did it become okay 0:10:44.363,0:10:48.963 for it to be looked at as the mainstream[br]to eat polluted meat? 0:10:49.967,0:10:51.827 When did that become normal, 0:10:51.827,0:10:57.247 and guiding people towards eating organic,[br]free-range, all these buzz words 0:10:57.247,0:11:02.537 that seem on the fringe - we're just[br]guiding them to eat real food, that's all. 0:11:03.187,0:11:06.872 Antibiotics - when we're eating[br]a low dose of antibiotics 0:11:06.872,0:11:11.095 every time we eat out from these animals[br]that are raised in feed lots, 0:11:11.095,0:11:15.520 in conditions that really no living thing[br]should have to be subjected to, 0:11:15.520,0:11:17.575 of course they have[br]to give them antibiotics 0:11:17.575,0:11:22.545 because there's not enough room for them,[br]and there's disease that comes up. 0:11:22.545,0:11:26.474 And the antibiotics that we're eating[br]are killing the good bugs, 0:11:26.474,0:11:29.355 the good bacteria in our gut. 0:11:29.355,0:11:32.441 And digestion is the cornerstone[br]of your health. 0:11:32.441,0:11:35.171 If that's not the foundation[br]and that's not working, 0:11:35.171,0:11:38.546 nothing else is going to work[br]and everything else will be a band-aid. 0:11:39.205,0:11:43.533 So taking antibiotics, a low dose,[br]when we eat out, 0:11:43.533,0:11:49.451 these animal meats, eggs, milk -[br]that's weakening our immune system. 0:11:50.709,0:11:52.451 And then we have hormones. 0:11:52.451,0:11:55.693 I think every other woman in the room[br]would agree with me when I say, 0:11:55.693,0:11:58.992 it's hard enough to keep[br]our hormones balanced, 0:11:58.992,0:12:01.169 do we ever need to have anything else 0:12:01.169,0:12:03.889 that's going to start[br]to throw them off course? 0:12:05.439,0:12:08.702 In March, the New York Times[br]came out with an article, 0:12:08.702,0:12:14.764 and the title was:[br]"Puberty at Age 10: The New 'Normal'?" 0:12:16.035,0:12:17.538 I'm not okay with that. 0:12:17.700,0:12:22.810 Girls are developing three to five years[br]earlier on average now, 0:12:23.568,0:12:26.505 largely due, in part, to the consumption 0:12:26.505,0:12:29.281 of added growth hormones[br]to the meat supply. 0:12:29.726,0:12:32.552 So if there's one thing to remember[br]from what I have to say, 0:12:32.552,0:12:36.190 and there's one thing you need to take,[br]and you're going to shift your budget 0:12:36.190,0:12:40.005 somewhere else with your food,[br]it's towards clean animal products. 0:12:41.933,0:12:44.472 How may of you know what a GMO is? 0:12:45.992,0:12:47.065 Good. 0:12:47.065,0:12:48.390 Almost everyone. 0:12:48.780,0:12:51.091 Genetically modified organisms 0:12:53.448,0:12:57.505 are organisms where they take[br]the DNA of one species 0:12:57.505,0:13:01.716 and they inject it into the DNA[br]of another species in a lab. 0:13:02.632,0:13:09.325 And that creates a combination of plants[br]that have not existed in nature before 0:13:09.325,0:13:13.219 and also do not exist in traditional[br]cross-breeding methods. 0:13:14.428,0:13:20.268 So what we have with GMOs[br]is Frankenfood, in my opinion. 0:13:20.855,0:13:24.526 Corn, soy, canola, dairy - 0:13:25.035,0:13:28.351 these are the foods[br]that are the most genetically modified 0:13:28.351,0:13:30.489 and in 30 countries around the world, 0:13:30.489,0:13:32.759 and all the countries[br]of the European Union, 0:13:32.759,0:13:37.631 there's severe limitation and restrictions[br]or outright bans on GMOs. 0:13:37.961,0:13:38.942 That's what I mean. 0:13:38.942,0:13:42.515 It's not that the food supply[br]has just changed towards processed foods, 0:13:42.515,0:13:46.170 but the raw materials[br]that go into those processed foods 0:13:46.170,0:13:49.970 have changed so dramatically,[br]and we need to avoid them. 0:13:49.970,0:13:51.562 Especially when we're eating out, 0:13:51.562,0:13:54.622 restaurants are using genetically[br]modified soybean and canola oil 0:13:54.622,0:13:57.516 because it's not that expensive, 0:13:57.516,0:13:59.953 and we're not getting[br]the nutrients out of our meal. 0:13:59.953,0:14:03.793 We're getting maybe 50 percent[br]of the nutrients out of our meal 0:14:03.793,0:14:05.734 when we're consuming GMOs. 0:14:07.384,0:14:10.327 There's lots of chemicals[br]that we're contending with. 0:14:10.327,0:14:15.401 The FDA has 2,700 intentional[br]food chemicals from food dyes, 0:14:15.401,0:14:18.634 FD&C yellow number 5[br]and yellow number 6. 0:14:19.073,0:14:22.734 We've got artificial sweeteners, MSG - 0:14:23.850,0:14:25.839 we really have to start to look at that. 0:14:25.839,0:14:29.945 And bath and body products[br]is the other part of the hormonal equation 0:14:29.945,0:14:33.912 because there's a huge opportunity[br]to disrupt your endocrine system 0:14:33.912,0:14:35.473 by what you put on your body. 0:14:36.071,0:14:41.402 And I just want you to think about[br]the skin as the largest absorbative organ. 0:14:41.402,0:14:43.273 So if you wouldn't put it in your body, 0:14:43.273,0:14:45.731 a good rule of thumb[br]is don't put it on your body. 0:14:47.424,0:14:49.470 And this one I could talk[br]about all day long 0:14:49.470,0:14:52.295 because this is how I got into nutrition. 0:14:52.591,0:14:56.513 There is no doubt in my mind[br]I would have diabetes right now 0:14:56.513,0:14:59.853 and I would probably be 50 pounds[br]heavier than what I am 0:14:59.853,0:15:01.574 had I not found this field, 0:15:01.574,0:15:04.143 because I used to eat[br]a package of Sour Patch Kids 0:15:04.143,0:15:06.799 and a package of Swedish fish[br]every day for lunch. 0:15:06.799,0:15:09.291 I was a total sugar junkie. 0:15:09.811,0:15:11.966 And we don't have[br]to talk too much about sugar 0:15:11.966,0:15:16.645 because I think everyone knows[br]that it's not good for you at this point. 0:15:17.023,0:15:19.381 But I just want to point out: 0:15:19.381,0:15:24.362 How did it become okay to drink[br]a soda the size of your head? 0:15:24.362,0:15:25.787 (Laughter) 0:15:25.787,0:15:28.081 I don't know how that happened. 0:15:28.081,0:15:30.110 Clients say, "I only drink[br]one soda a day." 0:15:30.110,0:15:31.648 I have to say, "But what is it?" 0:15:31.648,0:15:33.347 "It's a Big Gulp, but that's okay, 0:15:33.347,0:15:36.104 it's from, like, lunch,[br]all the way to the end of the day." 0:15:36.104,0:15:37.504 Right? 0:15:37.504,0:15:42.216 One soda today is the equivalent[br]of 18 in 1955. 0:15:44.955,0:15:47.154 The solution is simple. 0:15:49.985,0:15:53.351 That's a simple solution[br]to changing things. 0:15:54.068,0:15:57.220 But you need to know[br]what real food is in order to change it. 0:15:57.220,0:16:00.450 A chicken breast - a client will say,[br]"It's just a chicken breast" - 0:16:00.450,0:16:02.015 isn't a chicken breast any more. 0:16:02.015,0:16:04.804 We need to know,[br]what did the chicken eat? 0:16:04.804,0:16:07.530 How was it raised, how was it fed? 0:16:08.423,0:16:10.897 So that's why we have[br]to challenge the food supply, 0:16:10.897,0:16:14.838 so you can discern what's[br]real food and what's not real food. 0:16:16.976,0:16:19.535 You can be part of the solution. 0:16:20.195,0:16:22.846 Local, organically grown[br]fruits and vegetables. 0:16:22.846,0:16:28.548 We have Community Supported Agriculture -[br]farms that we can buy our food from. 0:16:28.548,0:16:30.717 We're so blessed to live in this area. 0:16:30.717,0:16:33.305 You buy local, organically[br]grown fruits and vegetables, 0:16:33.305,0:16:36.442 you don't have to eat three apples,[br]you can just eat one, 0:16:36.442,0:16:38.911 because the nutrients will be there, 0:16:38.911,0:16:40.905 the minerals will be there, 0:16:40.905,0:16:44.793 because of the way that they're using[br]traditional farming techniques. 0:16:46.343,0:16:49.350 Wild fish and pastured animal products. 0:16:49.350,0:16:52.420 'Pastured' - such a buzzword these days. 0:16:52.420,0:16:55.524 It just means the animal ate[br]what it wanted to eat in nature, 0:16:55.524,0:16:57.429 and lived how it should have lived, 0:16:57.429,0:17:00.173 then you're getting[br]nutrients from that food. 0:17:00.867,0:17:03.861 Choosing gluten-free grains -[br]that's really important. 0:17:03.861,0:17:06.501 Gluten sensitivity is huge. 0:17:07.289,0:17:12.657 Staging beans, legumes[br]and root vegetables throughout your diet, 0:17:12.657,0:17:15.474 will slowly release the glucose[br]in your system, 0:17:15.474,0:17:19.751 so you never really get those cravings[br]for the white stuff or for the sugar. 0:17:21.234,0:17:23.532 I'm such a fan of healthy fats and oils. 0:17:23.532,0:17:27.222 There's nothing wrong[br]with grass-fed butter, coconut oil, 0:17:27.222,0:17:30.715 avocados, all these things[br]are so important. 0:17:31.031,0:17:33.710 And keep the sweetness,[br]but lose the sugar. 0:17:33.710,0:17:36.308 Learn about sugar alternatives. 0:17:37.117,0:17:38.774 There's so many of them out there. 0:17:38.774,0:17:42.036 Coconut sugar - looks and tastes[br]exactly like brown sugar. 0:17:42.036,0:17:45.455 It doesn't affect you nearly [br]like regular sugar does. 0:17:46.066,0:17:50.299 Stevia has no effect on blood sugar;[br]it's 100 times sweeter than sugar. 0:17:50.299,0:17:51.883 We can still enjoy sweet treats. 0:17:51.883,0:17:56.519 We don't have to have this approach[br]of denial or deprivation, 0:17:56.519,0:17:58.370 it's just upgrading. 0:17:59.188,0:18:05.148 And we're creating rituals, traditions,[br]having that anchor around food. 0:18:05.148,0:18:08.415 Mindful eating, not being[br]a stand-at-the-kitchen-counter eater, 0:18:08.415,0:18:10.375 or eat-in-your-car eater. 0:18:10.375,0:18:12.717 It's eating for true nourishment. 0:18:15.197,0:18:17.111 This is not a new concept. 0:18:17.541,0:18:20.320 Two-and-a-half thousand years ago,[br]Hippocrates said, 0:18:20.320,0:18:23.851 "Let food be thy medicine,[br]and medicine be thy food." 0:18:24.312,0:18:27.616 So if I leave you with one thought, 0:18:27.616,0:18:31.820 it's that healthcare reform,[br]it doesn't start in Washington, 0:18:31.820,0:18:33.962 it starts in our kitchen. 0:18:33.962,0:18:38.437 We need to vote with our dollars[br]when we go to the grocery store 0:18:38.437,0:18:41.140 and that's voting[br]for a cleaner food supply. 0:18:42.431,0:18:46.654 My favorite quote[br]by Margaret Mead states, 0:18:48.009,0:18:53.181 "Never doubt that a small commited group[br]of individuals can change the world; 0:18:53.181,0:18:56.564 indeed, it's the only[br]thing that ever has." 0:18:57.552,0:18:59.180 Thank you.[br](Applause)
