And I think it's worth mentioning that we're spoken to from such a young age about farming, and it's very common for a lot of families to have storybooks that center kind of farm animals, and even rhymes and songs.

And it's so difficult to talk about food and farming sometimes because so much of it is so central to our identity or our faith or our tradition or religion.
8:46
So I think that's also part of what can be a barrier in terms of presenting true information about farming, isn't it? Really psychologically, none of us want to think about it.
8:54
None of us want to hear it.
