  Speaker 2: You just wanted to, like you know, like get some
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: control over like eating and stuff. And some of it
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is about like the people do it for all kinds
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: of I mean, like primarily religious reason. I'm not particularly religious,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: but you know, half my family's Muslim, so it's like
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: something that I've done a little bit, but I've never
