"Let me just get cleaner food. Cleaner didn't get anybody healthier. It just kind of made us have the bragging right that we were buying something that was more expensive. But at the end of the day, their cholesterol is still the same, their inflammation is still the same, and morbidity and mortality still the same. So organic versus non-organic meats didn't show anything. So even though we all did that, when I used to be that way, I used to make sure my eggs came from Taos and they did yoga and sung Kumbaya, and then my massaged beef from Japan. And, you know, I was the guy that was just like that, but that didn't improve anything in terms of the numbers or lowering my risk of diseases going forward." - Dr. Sunil Pai
