Bill and Tim debate how much money you'd need to eat truly healthy, organic food nowadays, and reminisce about fast food chains like Wendy's and McDonald's from their childhoods.

In this bit8 moments
  • Tim compares the genius of innovators like Jimi Hendrix and Eddie Van Halen to showing people what's physically possible.
  • Food companies turned everything into poison, but eating well now requires enough money to reverse the damage.
  • Tim asks how much annual income you'd need to eat the way a 1920s hobo did when everything was organic.
  • $200,000 a year after taxes in this state is what it takes to eat wild salmon and organic everything.
  • Food is expensive and spoils immediately—organic fruits and vegetables go bad really quick.
  • Wendy's used to be the top fast food when Tim was growing up, the only one that looked like it used real meat.
  • The square Wendy's burger was their way of saying 'this is different, this is an actual thing.'
  • Tim doesn't take his kids out for fast food, but their relatives do—someone's got to be the cool one.
