What concerns me is that this this process is happening too slow and that that so many people are suffering, but that the the system is so hard to change. You know, Machiavelli said that, you know, it's it's very, you know, it's very hard to, you know, kind of change ideas. Right? So how do how do you, like, change people's thinking? And and, you know, people who are who are invested in this, unfortunately, are not gonna want it to change. We've got a whole medical industrial complex that profits off of people being sick. We can see it. I mean, the food industry doesn't wanna change. Is whether you like it or not is is out there happening, and it's driving, you know, a lot of pressure on the food system and the food sort of companies. And they don't like it, and they're pushing back pretty hard. And they're doing all kinds of nefarious things to sort of undermine any change in our food system. So there's a lot of pushback. But but I think change is inevitable. You know, like, whether it's the end of slavery or women's suffrage or civil rights or women's rights or gay rights. Like, these are all things that happened over long periods of time that, you know, were cultural moments that then allowed everybody to kind of shift to the next frame of how we navigate the world as human beings. [00:29:40] S1: Amazing. Thank you, Mark, for all you are doing, all you've done over the collective of your career, and we are really grateful. [00:29:50] S2: Thanks, Daisy.
