I have been looking forward to this talk and to meeting

Daphne, and having all of you meet her, since I

And she teaches in the Department of Family Medicine,

But first and foremost, I think, it's just striking to

She sits in her office three days a week and sees patients

all day long, from birth to age 102, and she

And she's the first doc I've taken around Google, and I've

taken many doctors around, who said, let me take a picture of

And let me take the picture of the size of the cheese you're

serving, because I want to show my patients how small

And she prescribes good eating, among other things.

And as she said to me at lunch, if you care about your

food, you ultimately have to find out and care about how it

So I'm so excited for her to come and talk to us, to make

this connection between our natural world, what's grown,

And then tell me about what's good for the environment.

And I think Daphne's going to talk to us about that, among
