always looking for ways to do something with seaweed but back then nobody was
with seaweed but back then nobody was
with seaweed but back then nobody was doing anything with seaweed and human
doing anything with seaweed and human
doing anything with seaweed and human nutrition in Europe although I did find
nutrition in Europe although I did find
nutrition in Europe although I did find a place where I could study the effects
a place where I could study the effects
a place where I could study the effects of seaweed on farmed salmon and what I
of seaweed on farmed salmon and what I
of seaweed on farmed salmon and what I found is really really interesting
found is really really interesting

and this really really made me wonder
and this really really made me wonder well the point I’m trying to make here
well the point I’m trying to make here
well the point I’m trying to make here is that the more I work with seaweed
is that the more I work with seaweed
is that the more I work with seaweed anymore I involve seaweed in my life the
anymore I involve seaweed in my life the
anymore I involve seaweed in my life the more fascinating it becomes and the more

I see the future of our food and I’m
I see the future of our food and I’m here today to tell you why the first
here today to tell you why the first
here today to tell you why the first thing that really really fascinates me
thing that really really fascinates me
thing that really really fascinates me is that our bodies are actually already
is that our bodies are actually already
is that our bodies are actually already used to eat in seaweed that is because
used to eat in seaweed that is because
used to eat in seaweed that is because long long ago our ancestors they used to
