peter: can you recount the story of the first whole foods, it really began on natural foods.id people understand those concepts back in the 1980's? john mackey: no, but the commune was an urban co-op. i am moved into a vegetarian community co-op, however you want to call it, back when i was about 22 years old and i was not a vegetarian. i just was very interested in counterculture at that time and this was an era where we d the summer of love and hippies and all this new energy that was coming in that was sort of rebelling against budget -- my parents generation, which was conformant of them in a lot of ways so you had this wave of energy and i was very attracted to that and so i moved into the co-op because i thought i would meet interesting people. others interested in countercultural ideas but i had a food awakening there. i learned how to cook. i learned about natural and organic foods for the first time. i changed my diet. i became a vegetarian and i began to eat vegetables. my mind and stomach were opened up to this greater reality. previous to that i just thought food

no food should go wasted.ts to eat, we have food, it's definitely hand in hand and it shouldn't be looked at as work or a task, we're feeding people and it really means so much to me. i come to work and they're like nora do you want this, do you want that? and it's so great and everyone is truly involved. every day, every night after every period of food, breakfast, lunch, dinner, i mean, people just throw it away. they don't even think twice about it and i think as a whole, as a community, as any community, if people just put a little effort, we could really help each other out. that's how it should be. that's what food is about basically. >> an organization that meets is the san francisco knight ministry we work with tuesday and thursday's. ♪♪♪ ♪ by the power ♪ ♪ of your name ♪ >> i have faith to move mountains because i believe in jesus. >> i believe it's helpful to offer food to people because as you know, there's so much homelessness in san francisco and california and the united states. i really believe

food insecurity pin a neighborhood is over food insecurity in our household. this is because if we do not help our neighbor address the root causes of the issue, it will spill over and affect us in every way. people who do not have enough food to feed themselves or their families will make decisions out of desperation whether to stay or to migrate. we are tackling the root causes of food insecurity in america. both los angeles declaration of migration and the global compact on migration analyzing addressing the key drivers and factors that force people to leave their homes. migration from latin america driven by factors that include food insecurity. the consequences of food insecurity highlight the need to better understand the dynamic in the region and provide policy responses to ensure the well-being of displaced people in their homes. and as political inaction and bureaucratic -- continue to stand in the way of facing food insecure communities and saving lives, faith-based actors and others are stepping up to deliver essential services with limited resource

i think it's the same in food and i actually it's harder on food than it is on energy because food is such a strong part of someone's identity, right? when most of us, you know, we just want cheap, stable energy when we plug our laptops into the socket, we just want cheap energy coming. we actually don't really where it comes from. we don't really care its nuclear rasool or when we actually don't know if its nuclear, solar or wind. that's not the same for food, right? we make conscious decisions, you know, three or four times a day and it's really, really tight part of our identity. so so how to shift behavior change on food is, is something that i think about a lot and i think is going to be a massive challenge. as i said, the technological technological solutions will be there for people to shift away from meat and dairy or reduce consumption. and whether they take it and how we tackle that is much harder. thanks. you brought up food, so i'm going to ask a question that came in about food. how about the nutritional value and contaminants of food? it's my understanding that at least

so we go the loss of forest food, ways having blown before deforestation. decades of nationalistic food policies have ensured the pap wins no longer rely on for us to sustain themselves. like the saga when snacks for soccer has long been replaced by rice as the main staple food in west palm close out. we'll see. you think that the sagal is our tradition this evening. right. this is a new thing. yeah. that's what our parents raise their children and grandchildren on soccer, who took on because he'd be so simple. the side of rice came only after the road was built metal. the stuff on the road was part of the trans migration program by the central government to move mainly poor people from job to other less populated islands of indonesia and like west pop. while as a result, indigenous people now make up at least 60 percent of the total population in self pop was backed by governments. incentives. the newcomers quickly settled in and slowly took control of vital economic sectors such as the food industry, the vocational building school established by the energy company. med coney. as a nik

i've given up soul food for neo soul food. and what i mean by that is even when it looks good and it tastes good, it may not be good for yo. i don't go to mcdonald's. i don't go to taco bell, not because it doesn't taste good. and i don't remember my childhood. i just know what's in the food. i know that the food that we are served as americans is not served by the same corporations around the world. there are poisons, toxins, killers in some of the food that we sell in our stores. i'm not saying that's what they sell, that they serve in jail. i'm just saying that i know what's in american food. if you look at the stickers when you go to the store and it doesn't have a nine on it, it's poison. if it has a 4 or 3, a six, a eight, when it starts with those numbers, there's something wrong with it. you shouldn't eat it. that's my that's my opinion. that's my opinion. the nines are good, right? so what i'm saying, when it comes to the food and jail, which the sheriff's department knows that i'm an advocate of changing the vendor a

food. if for example, they cook vegetables, not the dish is mixed with instant noodles. how does that sound for them? and they do that every day, but i got the my neck on side heading of the with the marine have tradition. the relied on sancho the local staples starch food. pay up on a spacious gibbs is trying to educate his daughter in the office of far as subsistence kind of, i mean, doesn't mean the whole thing. when we go to the forest, lots of food grows and lives at the bottom. we just have to take and eat it, he said, well, we don't cut anything down for fun, so that's not why we do this. i don't understand the request to a 50 sancho is a starch extracted from the pistol spongy coal tissue. a saw the palm trees that grow in abundance in the swamp, eaten volume and a south pa for but in recent decades, socco has become increasing the rest and is now more often used for traditional ceremonies rather than as a staple food. the older generation feels that they no longer have the power to

why health investigators are now looking at a northern california food supplier and what that food supplier is now saying about it. also, why is e coli so dangerous and why is it sometimes deadly? we're getting some insight from a doctor. there's nothing good that results from this platform when it comes to kids. is an ai chatbot to blame for a teenager's death? a mother from florida, now suing a silicon valley company that created it. and a little bit later, how do you right a wrong that happened 80 years ago. the special tribute unveiled for 50 black sailors recently exonerated decades after being found guilty of mutiny. good evening. this is nbc bay area news tonight. i'm jessica aguirre. we're going to get to all those stories in a moment. but first, we want to catch you up on some of the headlines we're watching tonight. court cases in san francisco came to a grinding halt today. that includes the high profile trial of the man accused of killing cash app co-founder bob lee. the cases were called off because of a strike by court clerks. there is good news. cases are expected to pick bac

john mackey: yes, but not as a whole foods market. >> john lackey, does original whole foods store onamar avenue and austin still exist? >> yes, but not as a whole foods market. it is a good -- >> did that happen? >> it was a record store after -- we relocated to a bigger location back in 1995, so it had a 15-year run from 1980 to 1995. we went just a block down the road to a 36,000 square feet's area, three times bigger. a cheapo record store, just took it over after that. they were there for about 10 years and goodwill has been there ever since. ll, how would 1982 you get to lamar avenue anw thousand square feet for that first whods the store? >> that is a much longstory and, of course, my book deals with that because we have a small location called safer way and it was an old victorian house. my girlfriend and i lived in the house. that store was a vegetarian store. it did not really sell alcohol or coffee or sugar. it was very, very healthy. we did not do much business ough. it was not on a business story. as n more about business, realized we needed a bigger storm needed to open

in a center for whole foods has one of the most successful stores in southern california, at whole foodsthere were over yesterday, before i came to this conference in las vegas, we were talking about old times, i was asking how long they had worked there, 32 years, only 25 , the other guy said i have only been here 15. the point is, these were people who love the company, you have time to get those other guys. >> in the story, would you call that a business book? >> absolutely. it is a story of business. from conception, to early challenges, to full maturity. from hero to $22 billion in sales. the is a part personal memoir of myself, 85% to 90% of the book is whole foods and how we grew it , a great story for entrepreneurs to read. >> there was a point in madison, wisconsin, there was not labor unions, what happened? >> you could say that is the downside of being decentralized. we were very empowered. madison was one store town, about 150 miles from chicago. therefore, very much on its own. there was a strength in that. the street is, you can get a lot of innovation and creativity but th

to the old kind of food. and this an that really helped me to understand this. it was done here in new york. i nickname it cheesecake park in the book it's not the official name it's done by a brilliant irish scientist irish-american scientist, co professor paul kenney. so who's the head of neuroscience at mount sinai, just up the road from where i am now, and it's very simple. he got cage and he raised a load of rats and all they had to eat was kind of healthy foods and pellet form that were the kind of foods rats evolved over thousands of years. and it turned out when they had food, rats would eat when they were hungry. and then just stop, right? they never became fat. they never overweight, overate. they had some kind of natural, nutritional. that meant they were like, oh, guys, i've had enough right then. professor introduced the rats in cheesecake to the american diet. he fried up some bacon, he got a load of snickers bars. he bought all leather cheesecake, and he put it in the cage alongside the healthy

this food is intentional. it's sustainable, and it's made with purpose. >> so i think that one of my favorites, besides the lechon, was all like, you have pork, al pastor really? you have something for everyone. people don't like pork. they have beef. people like vegan, they have vegan. and as pam said, you don't. you try not to waste food. >> absolutely. in partnership with our local vendors, we also have local food banks that we work with. so after every game, after every event, we actually make sure that our food makes its way to all people who are even food insecure. >> and what's really exciting? you also, because i had to ask sal is a typical foodie, right? he'll eat pretty much anything. i think he's okay with me saying that. i always look for plant based and vegan and gluten free and tell me so you had the chefs make a plant based burrito bowl for me, which is so nice. but you also tell me about you have a special booth here. >> so it's a hidden gem. it's in the sixth floor. if you're looking for beers

we keep the edible food local. and we are not composting it because we don't want to compost edible food. we want that food to get eaten within san francisco and feed folks in need. it is very unique in san francisco we have such a broad and expansive education program for the city. but also that we have partners in government and nonprofit that are dedicated to this work. at san francisco unified school district, we have a sustainability office and educators throughout the science department that are building it into the curriculum. making it easy for teachers to teach about this. we work together to build a pipeline for students so that when they are really young in pre-k, they are just learning about the awe and wonder and beauty of nature and they are connecting to animals and things they would naturally find love and affinity towards. as they get older, concepts that keep them engaged like society and people and economics. >> california is experiencing many years of drought. dry periods. that is really hard on
