 OK. You can line up for questions for Pilar. OK. Yeah, OK. I just wanted to say that this project was born out of initiative called Comidas que Curan that I created along with other friends, which is basically a food heritage preservation project. We interview older people to learn about food traditions and other lifestyle behaviors that impact health. And we create films. So we seek to document that in many different ways. One of them is making films. And we also teach workshops to especially younger kids, or younger children and adolescents in Ecuador. And we teach them how to do the research and how to make the films so that this process goes on. Because a lot of this knowledge and wisdom is being lost because of all the messages that come from the industry and the medical doctors. And this is the reason why I made this film and why we do the work we do. So I invite you to visit our website. It's a brand new English language website. And there's a donate button there. We are independent filmmakers. We don't have any institutional support. But you can also support us by buying a DVD or sharing the film with your friends and family. I have a couple of DVDs out here if you want to get a copy. This film was not recorded as part of this conference. So I encourage you to share it with other people. And if you want to organize a screening for your community or institution, I'll be happy to talk to you. And I'll be glad to answer questions. We are passing out a paper, forms where you can drop us a few lines with your feedback. So that's another way to support us. Thank you. Yes. So the biggest. Can I get some money for that? Yeah. The biggest coconut producing regions historically have been in Asia, Southeast Asia. So they probably come from, well, usually the coconut water is made with Thai coconuts that are different kind of coconut. They're young coconuts. But the Philippines is historically the biggest producer of coconuts. And in this side of the world, Western Hemisphere, Mexico became the biggest exporter of coconuts. So they could come from many different countries. Yeah. And ever since the coconut boom in the 2000s, these plantations kind of came back again because the whole belief about saturated fat being bad, it hurt everybody around the globe that was producing coconuts. And using them as part of their traditional diet. But as of recent, it's become popular in the US and in Europe. So it's starting to come back. So. I have a question. Thanks. I love the film. I would love to see it distributed educationally throughout the states, if that ever happens. I hope so. I did watch your presentation. I think you presented a few years ago. Yes. And you mentioned that the coconut industry is being exported. But somebody's coming in to Ecuador as maybe a white person or a non-native person and trying to reintroduce. Yeah. And can you talk about that a little bit on that? Fascinating and horrifying at the same time. OK. Thanks, yeah. Thank you for watching that and bringing that up. So first, we have screened this film across the US and in other countries, too, in universities. That's where we've received the most interest from. So yeah, if you know of any universities that are interested, just give them a recommendation. And we'll be happy to get in touch with them. Yes, that was an example from the Smithsonian magazine. And the articles still up. And it was an American entrepreneur they featured in their magazine that claimed to be introducing a healthy oil in Ecuador. To a community that is plagued with vegetable oil with bad habits of eating vegetable oils, refined vegetable oils. So this is very contradictory because he set up his company in the coast of Ecuador. In one of the regions that has been, coconuts grow naturally there. They've been growing naturally there for ages. And the reason why we have vegetable oils is because of American Heart Association recommendations being exported to the rest of the world, including Ecuador. So it was very ironic that an American claims to save Ecuadorians from bad habits of vegetable oils when that idea came from the US. So that was the point that I was trying to make in my talk. But ever since I started this research in around the year 2013, I've seen how ideas about coconut oil being healthy have been introduced from the US to Ecuador with marketing strategies and labels like cold pressed, which is tragic because as many of you know, it really doesn't matter if coconut oil is cold pressed. I mean, it doesn't make a difference because it's almost 100% saturated fat and it doesn't hurt to cook it. And that's the way that it's done traditionally. So in many ways, this hegemony, this hegemonic influence of a cultural influence of the US, it's just hard to avoid the damage because people take whatever comes from abroad, from the US, either through social media or whether they just take it for granted. So that's why I made this film, showcasing local people as authorities of food and medicine so that we try to change that, break with that. Question over here. So the factory couldn't operate because it couldn't get a sanitary certification? Yes. What was preventing that from happening? Just bureaucracy. It's just very bureaucratic process. And the community is generally, so what happens in, this is a community in the coast of Ecuador that is very, very rich in all kinds of natural resources, not just coconuts, but oil and fish and minerals like gold and other kinds of lumber. So a lot of companies as of the past 30 or 40 years have come in to exploit a lot of these resources. And there's a lot of funding from international organizations for development projects, social development projects. So usually what happens is they come in with a bunch, like a lot of money to implement these projects and they leave and the project never gets a follow-up. They don't train the people to actually carry on with the project to make it sustainable. So they call them like white elephants that exist, that were funded by foreign organizations like Italian or American or... NGOs. Ah-ha, NGOs and they don't get the proper funding to, or the proper training and follow-up so that they can continue into the future. Is the factory still not operational? It started back as of like three years ago. I heard that they actually jump-started it again. So it's operating now. Okay, good. Thanks. Anyone else? I think, are you gonna stay up with Diana and James? So might as well do that now. You can stay, but yeah. Thank you, thank you for your attention.
