• We have food deserts in our cities. We know that the distance you live from a supplier of fresh produce is one of the best predictors of your health. And in the inner city, people don't have grocery stores. They have to get on a bus and take a long ride to get to a source of fresh produce.

If you had a couple of fingers missing, you would draw a really messed-up turkey. That turkey was in an accident!
