- 13:23one
- 13:23state
- 13:23retailer,
- 13:24maybe

- 13:34So,
- 13:35you

- 13:35that's
- 13:36what's
- 13:36happened.
- 13:37And
- 13:38we
- 13:38don't
- 13:38think
- 13:39it's
- 13:39going
- 13:39to
- 13:39slow
- 13:39down.
- 13:40You
- 13:40know,
- 13:41the,
- 13:42I
- 13:42think
- 13:42the
- 13:43intent
- 13:44behind

- 13:48reduce
- 13:48chronic

- 13:50Not
- 13:50in
- 13:50a
- 13:50certain
- 13:50population,
- 13:51but
- 13:51just
- 13:53associated

- 13:55know
- 13:55contribute
- 13:56to
- 13:56chronic
- 13:56disease.
- 13:58But
- 13:59the
- 13:59challenge
- 14:00too
- 14:00is
- 14:00that
- 14:01it's
- 14:02very
- 14:02difficult
- 14:03to
- 14:04build
- 14:05a
- 14:05strategy
- 14:05around
- 14:06category
- 14:07level
- 14:08assumptions.
- 14:09A

- 14:17simply
- 14:18to
- 14:19take
- 14:19out

- 14:24but
- 14:24that,
- 14:24I'm
- 14:25just
- 14:25trying
