"All of the world's problems come down to a lack of compassion."
“When you find that you are no longer creating harm, there is great joy that comes from that. When you can liberate yourself from not hurting others."
“We want to maintain that whole plant in its natural state as much as possible. We don’t want to adulterate it with starches and gums and flavors and things like that. We want a really clean ingredient label and we want to produce a product that has all the real nutrients that plant may have.”
