From the transcript
With regard to our foods, our traditional foods, even my father used to say that food should be respected like medicine. They're good for us. They're good for our soul. But they also bring us together as a people. And so when I see seaweed, I think of those that have labored so long and hard to bring these, send these care packages to me and my husband and our children, and how we appreciate all that they've gone through to go harvest these and to go out in the boats.
