We get the food, and we get the disease, just at a lower rate.

The plants that they grew and prepared in specific traditional ways on top of that as well. But they weren't having any of the the highly processed garbage. They were eating a lot of meat whenever they could. It was just a very different different diet and lifestyle. And when [music] you switch away from that, you start seeing a massive increase in disease.
