1
00:00:07,789 --> 00:00:09,751
Well, first of all, before I get started,

2
00:00:09,752 --> 00:00:12,927
I want to take the opportunity
to thank all of you for being here

3
00:00:12,928 --> 00:00:18,668
because you are a remarkable
group of visionaries and leaders,

4
00:00:18,669 --> 00:00:21,859
and it is such an honor
to spend this time with you today,

5
00:00:21,860 --> 00:00:25,161
so that you for taking the time
out of your weekend.

6
00:00:26,101 --> 00:00:30,204
As I like to share,
I am such an unlikely crusader

7
00:00:30,205 --> 00:00:32,335
for cleaning up the food supply.

8
00:00:32,985 --> 00:00:35,856
I was born and raised in Houston, Texas

9
00:00:36,542 --> 00:00:38,876
on Twinkies and po' boys.

10
00:00:39,875 --> 00:00:41,525
I wasn't a foodie.

11
00:00:41,526 --> 00:00:43,994
What I was, was the oldest
of four children,

12
00:00:43,995 --> 00:00:45,354
and as you often hear about,

13
00:00:45,355 --> 00:00:50,145
I inherited absolutely every single one
of those Type A overachieving genes

14
00:00:50,146 --> 00:00:53,014
you read about in a first-born child.

15
00:00:53,015 --> 00:00:56,124
And thankfully, I channeled that
into business school.

16
00:00:56,125 --> 00:00:57,584
I received a full scholarship

17
00:00:57,585 --> 00:00:59,596
and graduated as the top woman in my class

18
00:00:59,597 --> 00:01:02,532
before going on to serve
as a food industry analyst.

19
00:01:03,623 --> 00:01:07,264
And when management teams
would come through our offices

20
00:01:07,265 --> 00:01:09,250
from Whole Foods and Wild Oats,

21
00:01:09,251 --> 00:01:12,450
we kind of thought they had
a nice marketing niche carved out.

22
00:01:12,451 --> 00:01:14,749
It was either
"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous"

23
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:15,882
or some hippie thing.

24
00:01:15,883 --> 00:01:19,953
It just wasn't something that
we were particularly on board with.

25
00:01:20,936 --> 00:01:25,959
And after doing that for a while,
I traded the briefcase for a diaper bag,

26
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,969
and with that same Type A energy,

27
00:01:27,970 --> 00:01:31,764
my husband and I
had four kids in five years.

28
00:01:32,274 --> 00:01:34,051
(Laughter)

29
00:01:35,797 --> 00:01:38,967
And up until that point,
I really had not given a lot of thought

30
00:01:38,968 --> 00:01:40,785
about what was in the food supply.

31
00:01:41,122 --> 00:01:44,050
I figured if it was on grocery
store shelves, it was safe.

32
00:01:44,051 --> 00:01:45,381
Don't tell me what to eat,

33
00:01:45,382 --> 00:01:48,584
and please do not tell me
what to feed my kids.

34
00:01:49,013 --> 00:01:52,271
I had four picky eaters,
limited time, limited budget,

35
00:01:52,272 --> 00:01:53,793
and I didn't want to hear it.

36
00:01:55,848 --> 00:02:00,410
And then one morning
over breakfast, life changed,

37
00:02:01,308 --> 00:02:03,962
and our youngest child
had an allergic reaction.

38
00:02:04,650 --> 00:02:06,142
And in all candor that morning,

39
00:02:06,143 --> 00:02:12,917
that breakfast was L'Eggo my Eggo waffles,
tubes of blue yogurt, and scrambled eggs.

40
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,803
And as her face started to swell shut,

41
00:02:16,804 --> 00:02:20,151
I was so unfamiliar with
what a food allergy actually looked like,

42
00:02:20,152 --> 00:02:22,173
that I turned
to my older three and I said,

43
00:02:22,174 --> 00:02:24,202
"What did you put in her face?"

44
00:02:25,127 --> 00:02:28,613
And they all gave me
those blank, little kid stares,

45
00:02:29,139 --> 00:02:30,935
and I got so scared.

46
00:02:31,437 --> 00:02:33,495
And I raced her
to the pediatrician's office

47
00:02:33,496 --> 00:02:36,252
and she says, "Robyn,
she's having this allergic reaction.

48
00:02:36,253 --> 00:02:38,263
What did you feed the kids for breakfast?"

49
00:02:38,670 --> 00:02:42,020
And I said, "L'Eggo my Eggo waffles,
blue yogurt and scrambled eggs."

50
00:02:42,483 --> 00:02:45,624
And she said, "Well, those are three
of the top eight allergens."

51
00:02:45,625 --> 00:02:48,783
And she starts rattling off
all of this stuff about food allergies,

52
00:02:48,903 --> 00:02:52,071
and I'm thinking, "How can a child
be allergic to food?"

53
00:02:53,741 --> 00:02:57,994
And so as we got the baby calmed down,
got everybody back home.

54
00:02:57,995 --> 00:03:00,628
I put everyone down for a nap that day.

55
00:03:00,629 --> 00:03:04,885
And every single analytical gene
in my body went off.

56
00:03:04,886 --> 00:03:08,513
Because I hadn't known anybody that
had had a food allergy when I was a kid.

57
00:03:08,514 --> 00:03:12,699
So I wanted to dig into this data;
I wanted to understand what was going on.

58
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:14,611
And that morning five years ago,

59
00:03:14,612 --> 00:03:17,794
I learned that from 1997 until 2002,

60
00:03:17,795 --> 00:03:20,556
there had been a doubling
of the peanut allergy.

61
00:03:20,557 --> 00:03:24,099
I also learned at that point that one
out of 17 kids under the age of three

62
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:25,922
now has a food allergy.

63
00:03:26,362 --> 00:03:30,199
And I then went on to learn
from the Centers for Disease Control

64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,529
that there had been a 265 percent increase
in the rate of hospitalizations

65
00:03:35,530 --> 00:03:38,112
related to food allergic reactions.

66
00:03:38,882 --> 00:03:43,592
That was doctors checking kids
into the E.R., that wasn't moms.

67
00:03:44,902 --> 00:03:48,104
And so I wanted to know,
what is a food allergy?

68
00:03:48,721 --> 00:03:54,549
Well, a food allergy is when your body
sees food proteins as foreign.

69
00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:57,161
And so it launches this
inflammatory response

70
00:03:57,162 --> 00:03:59,850
to drive out that foreign invader.

71
00:04:00,507 --> 00:04:02,921
And so it begged the question,

72
00:04:02,922 --> 00:04:09,071
is there something foreign in our food
that wasn't there when we were kids?

73
00:04:11,220 --> 00:04:15,330
And so the analytical side of me, I turned
to the US Department of Agriculture,

74
00:04:16,661 --> 00:04:21,461
and I learned that yes,
beginning in the 1990s,

75
00:04:21,462 --> 00:04:26,522
new proteins were engineered
into our food supply.

76
00:04:28,983 --> 00:04:35,023
And it was done to maximize
profitability for the food industry.

77
00:04:35,528 --> 00:04:38,885
And as Sonny touched on, that made
perfect sense to me as an analyst.

78
00:04:38,886 --> 00:04:42,245
It drove shareholder value,
absolutely the fiduciary responsibility

79
00:04:42,246 --> 00:04:45,781
of the corporations that
were introducing these proteins,

80
00:04:45,782 --> 00:04:52,082
but at the same time, no human trials
were conducted to see if they were safe.

81
00:04:53,251 --> 00:04:56,409
And so milk allergy is the most common
allergy in the United States

82
00:04:56,410 --> 00:04:58,550
according to
the Wall Street Journal and CNN.

83
00:04:58,551 --> 00:05:01,135
And so I wanted to know,
is there something in the milk

84
00:05:01,255 --> 00:05:03,373
that wasn't there when we were kids?

85
00:05:03,553 --> 00:05:05,488
And beginning in 1994,

86
00:05:05,489 --> 00:05:09,039
in order to drive profitability
for the dairy industry,

87
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,823
scientists were able to create
this new genetically engineered protein,

88
00:05:12,824 --> 00:05:14,430
and this synthetic growth hormone

89
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,080
and inject it into our cows
to help them make more milk.

90
00:05:17,081 --> 00:05:20,293
The business model makes perfect sense,
it's a brilliant one.

91
00:05:20,785 --> 00:05:25,243
But at the same time, what happened
is that it was making the animals sick.

92
00:05:25,244 --> 00:05:28,550
It was causing ovarian cysts,
it was causing mastitis,

93
00:05:28,551 --> 00:05:31,869
it was causing lameness,
it was causing skin disorders.

94
00:05:31,870 --> 00:05:35,732
And for that reason, it increased
antibiotic use in those animals.

95
00:05:36,671 --> 00:05:41,481
And so governments around the world said,
"We're going to exercise precaution,

96
00:05:41,482 --> 00:05:44,528
and we are not going
to allow this into our dairy

97
00:05:44,529 --> 00:05:46,469
and into our milk supply,

98
00:05:46,470 --> 00:05:49,583
because it hasn't yet been proven safe."

99
00:05:50,645 --> 00:05:52,579
We took a different approach.

100
00:05:52,580 --> 00:05:57,665
We said, "It hasn't been
proven dangerous, so we'll allow it."

101
00:06:00,385 --> 00:06:03,860
As I learned that, I thought,

102
00:06:03,876 --> 00:06:07,794
"How many sippy cups
have I filled with this milk?

103
00:06:09,150 --> 00:06:13,406
And how many bowls of cereal
have I poured it on for my husband?"

104
00:06:14,209 --> 00:06:17,710
Not knowing that Canada, the UK,

105
00:06:17,822 --> 00:06:21,211
Australia, Japan, New Zealand,

106
00:06:21,212 --> 00:06:26,485
and all 27 countries in Europe
didn't allow it

107
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:30,280
when it was introduced in the US in 1994.

108
00:06:32,786 --> 00:06:34,658
And so I wanted to know

109
00:06:34,659 --> 00:06:39,113
what are the conditions
that we're seeing here in the US?

110
00:06:39,117 --> 00:06:42,644
Because one of the concerns
around this new growth hormone,

111
00:06:42,645 --> 00:06:44,881
this synthetic protein,

112
00:06:44,882 --> 00:06:47,283
was that it also elevated hormone levels

113
00:06:47,284 --> 00:06:51,200
that were linked to breast,
prostate, and colon cancer.

114
00:06:53,083 --> 00:06:56,495
And so I turned to remarkable
organizations like LIVESTRONG

115
00:06:56,496 --> 00:06:59,737
and the American Cancer Society,
because I wanted to know

116
00:06:59,738 --> 00:07:03,757
what the rates of cancer were
in the US versus the rest of the world.

117
00:07:06,472 --> 00:07:11,545
The US has the highest rates of cancer
of any country on the planet.

118
00:07:12,191 --> 00:07:14,323
And according to
the American Cancer Society,

119
00:07:14,324 --> 00:07:18,057
migration studies show that if you were
to move here from somewhere like Japan,

120
00:07:18,177 --> 00:07:21,769
your likelihood of developing cancer
increases fourfold.

121
00:07:22,201 --> 00:07:25,467
One out of two American men
and one out of three American women

122
00:07:25,468 --> 00:07:28,220
are expected to get cancer
in their lifetime.

123
00:07:28,653 --> 00:07:32,111
I also learned that
one out of eight women has breast cancer.

124
00:07:32,974 --> 00:07:34,635
But then what I learned,

125
00:07:34,636 --> 00:07:39,302
is that only one in ten
of those breast cancers are genetic,

126
00:07:39,303 --> 00:07:43,391
which means nine out of ten of them
are environmentally triggered.

127
00:07:46,044 --> 00:07:49,011
So kind of like, you know, when you're
driving down the highway

128
00:07:49,012 --> 00:07:51,411
and you see an accident,
and you just keep looking,

129
00:07:51,412 --> 00:07:53,200
and you're not really sure why?

130
00:07:53,804 --> 00:07:57,432
I wanted to know, are these
other allergies that we're seeing,

131
00:07:57,433 --> 00:08:01,220
have foreign proteins been introduced
into our food there too.

132
00:08:01,672 --> 00:08:05,700
And shortly after, milk was engineered
with this new protein.

133
00:08:05,701 --> 00:08:08,081
Scientists then engineered soy,

134
00:08:08,082 --> 00:08:10,843
and soy is also
one of the top eight allergens.

135
00:08:11,452 --> 00:08:14,275
And again, to drive profitability
for the soy industry

136
00:08:14,276 --> 00:08:18,070
because soy is primarily used
to fatten livestock,

137
00:08:18,071 --> 00:08:20,493
scientists were able
to engineer the soybean

138
00:08:20,494 --> 00:08:24,731
so that it could withstand
increasing doses of weed killer.

139
00:08:25,282 --> 00:08:29,517
And the business model, as an analyst,
made perfect sense.

140
00:08:29,518 --> 00:08:34,129
You engineer the seed
so that you can sell more weed killer.

141
00:08:34,130 --> 00:08:38,494
And at the same time, you've engineered
something new into that seed

142
00:08:38,495 --> 00:08:40,541
so that you can patent it.

143
00:08:40,542 --> 00:08:45,711
So now you've got a patent on the seed
and you're selling additional weed killer.

144
00:08:46,728 --> 00:08:48,804
But once again, governments
around the world

145
00:08:48,805 --> 00:08:54,599
said no studies have been done
to show if this is safe

146
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,181
to feed to the livestock
and to feed to our consumers,

147
00:08:58,182 --> 00:09:00,687
and so we're going to exercise precaution

148
00:09:00,688 --> 00:09:05,916
in order to prevent the onset
of any disease that may result.

149
00:09:06,458 --> 00:09:10,861
And in 1996 here in the US,
we took a different approach.

150
00:09:12,731 --> 00:09:15,643
As I kept learning more
about food allergies,

151
00:09:15,644 --> 00:09:20,141
I was hearing concern from parents
about a corn allergy,

152
00:09:20,142 --> 00:09:24,005
and so I wanted to know,
did corn get engineered?

153
00:09:24,006 --> 00:09:27,683
And interestingly, in the late 1990s,
as concern started to grow

154
00:09:27,684 --> 00:09:31,814
about the spraying
of insecticide over cornfields,

155
00:09:31,815 --> 00:09:38,454
scientists were able to engineer that
insecticide into the DNA of a corn seed,

156
00:09:39,235 --> 00:09:44,490
so that as a corn plant grows,
it releases its own insecticide.

157
00:09:45,345 --> 00:09:52,173
As a result, corn was then regulated
by the EPA as an insecticide.

158
00:09:56,234 --> 00:10:02,993
As you can imagine, this was incredibly
hard information to learn.

159
00:10:04,883 --> 00:10:08,832
We had introduced a term
called "substantial equivalence."

160
00:10:08,833 --> 00:10:13,985
It's a conceptual tool,
and it's used by the tobacco industry

161
00:10:13,986 --> 00:10:16,070
to facilitate the approval process

162
00:10:16,071 --> 00:10:20,185
of something for which
no human trials have been conducted.

163
00:10:20,186 --> 00:10:22,260
And that was the justification given

164
00:10:22,261 --> 00:10:26,114
for why we were introducing
these things in the US.

165
00:10:27,539 --> 00:10:29,779
And as I sat down one night
with my husband,

166
00:10:29,780 --> 00:10:32,383
I said, "I can't unlearn this.

167
00:10:32,913 --> 00:10:37,567
And I don't know what people will say
if I try to teach them,

168
00:10:37,568 --> 00:10:39,021
but I have to try."

169
00:10:41,115 --> 00:10:45,363
And so the next morning I came downstairs,
and I sat our four kids down,

170
00:10:45,364 --> 00:10:48,704
and I said, "You know how mom
has learned some pretty tough stuff

171
00:10:48,705 --> 00:10:51,010
about what's going on in our food,

172
00:10:51,011 --> 00:10:53,069
and how it's not in food
in other countries,

173
00:10:53,189 --> 00:10:56,010
and it's especially
not in food fed to kids?

174
00:10:56,980 --> 00:10:59,524
I have to try to do something about that."

175
00:11:00,713 --> 00:11:03,173
And one of my boys,
he looked at me and he said,

176
00:11:03,174 --> 00:11:07,551
"Mom, how many people are on your team?"

177
00:11:07,913 --> 00:11:09,322
(Laughter)

178
00:11:10,521 --> 00:11:14,731
And I said, "Well,
it's you four and daddy."

179
00:11:15,941 --> 00:11:19,490
And he said, "Mom,
you need a bigger team."

180
00:11:19,491 --> 00:11:21,160
(Laughter)

181
00:11:21,161 --> 00:11:23,402
And he was absolutely right.

182
00:11:23,403 --> 00:11:26,010
And at that point, I'd had people
come up to me saying,

183
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,920
"You're food's Erin Brockovich,
you're food's Erin Brockovich.

184
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,054
You should reach out to Erin Brockovich."

185
00:11:32,025 --> 00:11:36,832
And at that point, I did not want
to be food's Erin Brockovich,

186
00:11:36,833 --> 00:11:40,854
and I thought, "How in the world
could I possibly reach out to her?"

187
00:11:41,854 --> 00:11:45,967
But then, all of those Type A genes
started going off,

188
00:11:45,968 --> 00:11:49,678
and I thought, "I have to at least try."

189
00:11:49,683 --> 00:11:52,315
If I could get through
to somebody like Erin Brockovich,

190
00:11:52,435 --> 00:11:55,798
then maybe we could create
this change here in the US.

191
00:11:56,453 --> 00:12:02,374
And so channeling all of that energy,
I honestly spent about two weeks

192
00:12:02,375 --> 00:12:05,907
crafting a four sentence e-mail
to Erin Brockovich.

193
00:12:05,908 --> 00:12:07,760
(Laughter)

194
00:12:08,193 --> 00:12:10,400
And I fired it off.

195
00:12:10,401 --> 00:12:14,024
And I don't know if I ever
really expected her to reply,

196
00:12:15,395 --> 00:12:17,182
but when she did,

197
00:12:18,941 --> 00:12:23,582
to have someone like that cheering you on

198
00:12:24,443 --> 00:12:31,160
suddenly makes you think that
maybe one person can make a difference.

199
00:12:31,620 --> 00:12:33,040
(Whoops)

200
00:12:34,510 --> 00:12:37,823
(Applause)

201
00:12:39,478 --> 00:12:41,843
So as I began to really dig into this,

202
00:12:41,844 --> 00:12:45,050
and look at the fact that we were using
all of these new ingredients

203
00:12:45,170 --> 00:12:48,888
in the US food supply
that we weren't using in other countries,

204
00:12:48,889 --> 00:12:54,187
I've got to admit, it drove me absolutely
nuts now expensive organic food was.

205
00:12:55,415 --> 00:12:57,772
And so I looked into the business model.

206
00:12:58,711 --> 00:13:01,691
And what I learned is that
as a national family,

207
00:13:01,692 --> 00:13:06,610
sitting down to our national dinner table
with our national budget,

208
00:13:06,611 --> 00:13:10,470
our taxpayer resources are being used

209
00:13:10,471 --> 00:13:15,357
to subsidize the growth of these crops
with all these chemicals.

210
00:13:15,802 --> 00:13:20,107
And then over here, the crops that
are grown through the organic process,

211
00:13:20,108 --> 00:13:23,081
which means without
the use of synthetic chemicals,

212
00:13:23,082 --> 00:13:27,991
those guys are charged fees to prove
that their stuff is grown without it,

213
00:13:27,992 --> 00:13:32,030
then they're charged fees to then
label those things as grown without it,

214
00:13:32,031 --> 00:13:34,280
and on top of that,
they don't get the insurance

215
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,775
and marketing program assistance
that these guys over here do.

216
00:13:39,145 --> 00:13:44,431
So not only is their cost structure
higher over here,

217
00:13:44,432 --> 00:13:47,021
but then on top of that, what I learned

218
00:13:47,022 --> 00:13:50,399
is that it wasn't just those
farmers that it was impacting.

219
00:13:51,186 --> 00:13:55,467
The farmers who are fourth
and fifth generation farmers,

220
00:13:55,468 --> 00:13:59,621
who have been feeding
our country for generations,

221
00:13:59,622 --> 00:14:03,105
because those seeds are patented,

222
00:14:03,106 --> 00:14:06,321
they now have a cost structure
that's new too,

223
00:14:06,322 --> 00:14:11,592
because they have to pay royalty fees,
licensing fees, and trait fees

224
00:14:11,593 --> 00:14:15,542
to even begin to plant
those seeds on their farm.

225
00:14:19,298 --> 00:14:21,622
And so when I thought
about this, I thought,

226
00:14:23,762 --> 00:14:28,790
how are our American corporations
exporting their products

227
00:14:29,508 --> 00:14:33,376
if these other countries
don't allow these ingredients?

228
00:14:34,118 --> 00:14:39,308
And that's when I realized,
and found research,

229
00:14:39,309 --> 00:14:46,114
that Kraft, and Coca-Cola and Walmart,
they are doing a remarkable job

230
00:14:46,115 --> 00:14:50,701
of responding to consumer demand
in other countries.

231
00:14:50,702 --> 00:14:55,027
And they have formulated
their products differently.

232
00:14:55,617 --> 00:15:00,158
So Kraft and Coca-Cola and Walmart,
they don't use these ingredients

233
00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:03,071
in the products they distribute
in other countries.

234
00:15:03,610 --> 00:15:08,424
Now when I first learned that,
at first, it was kind of depressing.

235
00:15:08,425 --> 00:15:12,562
But then I thought, we just need
to teach each other here.

236
00:15:14,311 --> 00:15:18,111
And as I reflected on the fact
that we'd introduced these proteins,

237
00:15:18,112 --> 00:15:21,700
there'd been all of this toxicity concern,
I wanted to know,

238
00:15:21,701 --> 00:15:26,243
what are we spending on healthcare
versus the rest of the world?

239
00:15:29,574 --> 00:15:35,210
The US spends more on healthcare
than any country on the planet.

240
00:15:35,611 --> 00:15:41,989
Sixteen percent of our GDP
goes towards managing disease.

241
00:15:42,930 --> 00:15:45,915
What that means
is that a company like Starbucks

242
00:15:45,916 --> 00:15:49,815
spends more on healthcare costs
than they do on coffee.

243
00:15:52,755 --> 00:15:55,450
And as an American, I realized,

244
00:15:55,451 --> 00:16:01,397
this very easily could be affecting
our global competitiveness.

245
00:16:02,055 --> 00:16:06,699
Because rather than driving profitability
towards our core competencies

246
00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:10,170
in the global marketplace,
we're managing disease.

247
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,690
And I thought, we don't need
to wait for regulation,

248
00:16:15,691 --> 00:16:17,831
we don't need to wait for legislation,

249
00:16:17,832 --> 00:16:22,047
we can begin to exercise precaution
in our own families,

250
00:16:22,048 --> 00:16:25,486
in our own communities,
and in our own corporations,

251
00:16:25,487 --> 00:16:29,203
so that we can protect the health
and well-being of our families,

252
00:16:29,204 --> 00:16:31,531
and ultimately, of our economy.

253
00:16:32,050 --> 00:16:34,422
And as I was coming through
all of this knowledge,

254
00:16:34,423 --> 00:16:38,709
and having dismissed all of it,
it was pretty paralyzing.

255
00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:42,212
But then I realized, you can't make
the perfect the enemy of the good.

256
00:16:42,213 --> 00:16:45,804
And it's really all about progress,
not perfection.

257
00:16:46,224 --> 00:16:51,710
And while none of us can do everything,
all of us can do one thing.

258
00:16:52,764 --> 00:16:56,422
And just as you don't
potty train a kid overnight,

259
00:16:56,423 --> 00:17:00,323
and you don't wean them
from a sippy cup overnight,

260
00:17:00,324 --> 00:17:04,165
this is a process that,
it doesn't happen overnight.

261
00:17:05,030 --> 00:17:11,502
But that as each and every single
one of us does one thing,

262
00:17:12,353 --> 00:17:16,867
we have the ability
to affect remarkable change.

263
00:17:17,611 --> 00:17:23,874
Because each and every single one of you
has talents and attributes

264
00:17:23,875 --> 00:17:26,577
that you are uniquely good at.

265
00:17:27,462 --> 00:17:31,718
And when you leverage that with something
that you are passionate about,

266
00:17:31,719 --> 00:17:37,040
you can affect remarkable change,
in the health of your family,

267
00:17:37,041 --> 00:17:39,276
in the health of your company,

268
00:17:39,277 --> 00:17:41,332
and in the health of our country.

269
00:17:42,530 --> 00:17:44,650
And the bottom line

270
00:17:44,651 --> 00:17:50,130
is there is nothing more patriotic
that we could be doing.

271
00:17:50,131 --> 00:17:51,368
Thank you.

272
00:17:51,369 --> 00:17:54,768
(Cheers) (Applause)

273
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,911
Host: You might get a standing ovation
every time you give this talk,

274
00:18:21,912 --> 00:18:23,933
but we don't get
to give them all the time,

275
00:18:23,934 --> 00:18:25,537
so thank you for taking that in.
