And let's say that your job is only to grow one thing. So you're just the lettuce person and maybe somebody else manages it and you put it off to your local supermarkets. But I think you're going to have to grow the food where the people are that eat it. I just think there's no way around that because that's the only way you're going to get nutrients and good economics. So it's coming.

Although it isn't unusual because Elon Musk is big about the environment, Bernie's big on the environment, so they do actually agree on some pretty big stuff. But here's what Sanders says. He said Elon Musk, who is not one of my usual allies, recently tweeted that solving obesity reduces the risk of diseases like diab…
