Hey.
Hi.
Do you mind if we just chat
for a few minutes?
Sure. Sure. Yes. Of course.
I feel like you probably see me
and I’m an outsider and you know just a tiny bit about me,
but I see a lot of unhealthy things happening here.
I really want to give
this family some nutritional guidance.
When I opened your pantry,
I saw the biggest offender in Western diets: vegetable oil.
Vegetable oil is in all your fried foods.
It’s in your chicken nuggets.
I think Virginia mommy judges.
I see things that have corn
syrup, processed sugar.
Another one you’ve got in here is sodium benzoate.
It’s a carcinogenic substance, so we’d like to get these out.
I try not to get defensive.
It causes brain tumors,
diabetes, cancers. It’s bad.
I just feel attacked.
When I watch my kids eat things
that I know are loaded with processed preservatives
and all those things, it makes me cringe.
It almost came across as like,
"Oh my god, I can’t believe you’re feeding your kid poison."
It’s sometimes hard
to accept responsibility
for what you’re feeding your kids
and what you’re putting in their bodies, so ...
Hot dogs.
Who’s up for a hot dog? Anybody want a-
Me.
Oh, I love you. Thank you.
I’ll try one. Mmm-mmm.
With all this fun we’ve had,
was there anything we got accomplished?
Well, you tell me.
Do you think we accomplished anything?
No, but I think it was fun.
[crosstalk 00:01:52]-
Did you relax a little bit?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, we accomplished that.
Beau seems to enjoy his life,
and I think I want to be kind of like Beau when I grow up.
How do you like being a mom?
How do I like
being a stay-at-home dad?
Yeah.
I love it.
I get an opportunity to really do a lot of things with my kids.
Well, to be honest,
a lot of times I want to do fun things with the kids,
but I don’t have the ideas.
I feel like you don’t have
the time. We have lots of ideas.
Dwight is very focused on work.
The thing I worry about,
it comes across as that he’s not available for the kids,
but I see that he’d like to be able to do that.
Trying to scout out-
[crosstalk 00:02:41]-
... if there might be
a fun place for us to sit down.
I think that Christie
is a little stressed from my nutritional overhaul,
so I wanted to take her forest bathing.
Forest bathing is just a microdose of nature.
It’s supposed to be stress-relieving.
Now, one of the things
about forest bathing
is that we’re supposed to explore all five senses.
Nature bathing would never be
something that I would seek out.
My kids will dig up
sassafras roots and they’ll make tea out of it.
Look what I got.
We can put a little bark in it.
No.
This is not something
that I would come out to do to be calm.
I am brushing off bugs and constantly thinking,
is that poison ivy that I’m just sitting in?
Is there an ant getting on my shoe?
Look at this.
I’ve got some spider web here.
Oh.
Whoa.
I feel like any time
I step into nature, it’s a teachable moment.
Did you know that spider silk
is one of the strongest things on the planet?
Really?
You could count
every single ring,
and that would tell you how many years old this tree was.
What’s all those?
I think this is lichen.
The boys seem to really
enjoy themselves. If Christie gets on board,
I think it would be good for her.
Oh, and look
at this big spider web. 109 00:04:00,273 --> 00:00:00,000 Oh my god, get me out of here.
