It's like you go to Albertsons or whatever, your grocery store, and you feel like you're in a game of chicken with the CEO. Don't gaslight people. Hear them. Nobody cares about your spreadsheets. And I think that is the loyalty that needs to guide any progress, getting back to a place where we are finding the non-political ways of conveying our values.

I think people that can get their Honda Civic to 500K miles, that's cool. And when those people are regarded as the vanguard of environmentalism, I think that's progress. That is how you grow the field of people who feel real. That is how you build a coalition that can actually pass useful legislation.

Well, what I've seen being here is that, I mean, it feels like everybody is under 40 and has like at least two degrees. And, you know, that's not what the country looks like. That's not what the value system of merit is everywhere. Do you mean over 40 and has two degrees? Under 40. Okay, you feel like Washington Congress is young, right?

Oh, I mean, like, all of the, like, staff and lobbyists and, you know, the people who are, you know, often writing legislation. Gotcha. Okay, keep going. Sorry. I was talking to a constituent. She works in child care. She told me she is not legally allowed to peel a banana or an orange. That is considered food prep.

They are not a licensed food prep facility, so they can open a bag of chips, can't peel a banana. Okay. And I went round and round and round for, like, four months. I had my office, like, talking to local regulators and licensors and elected officials, and they kept saying, like, she's dumb. She doesn't understand the rules. Does she understand the rules?

Their licensor said they would need six more sinks before they were legally allowed to be engaged in food prep. And I don't think this is – small thing. Like I have a toddler. I know how durable food preferences are. So are toddlers. Yeah. And, and like having, um, regard and respect and, and agency, um, and having people who are actually doing the work at the core of the legislative process, like

So I've introduced a bill that creates a positive right to serve fresh fruits and vegetables. It says if your state's taking federal dollars for childcare, you will not infringe on the right to serve fresh fruits and vegetables. I'm like, this is the long work of building strong local agriculture and national health.

I don't know if it's like necessarily partisan as much as like parents know that food preferences in children are very durable.
