That family mustn't care

about that child."

But that's coming

from information

that these families

just don't have.

[Tim]

The total carbs in one serving,

28.6 grams,

and a serving's 40 grams.

[Kama]

They believe they're

being loving and caring

to their child

by giving them good food

bought from the dominant

culture's store.

No sugar in this one, but...

[speaks Yolngu Matha]

[Pete Evans]

The Australian government's

pumping millions of dollars

into trying to fix

Aboriginal health,

and here's

these two individuals

that have managed to do

what they're trying to do

on a large scale.

[speaks Yolngu Matha]

[Pete]

What they're managing

to do is to say,

"The way you had it

before white person came

was actually the right way."

We have ancient wisdom,

and we have modern wisdom,

and I think the two

need to work

harmoniously together,

in balance.

[Robert]

So in the philosophy

of Hope for Health,

what is good food?

Good food is food

that is grounded

in the tradition

of Aboriginal people.

This is the Yolngu way

of cooking.

[Robert]

And how might that translate

to the rest of us?

[Tim]

Umm, it's basically...

meat and vegetables. Okay?

Meat and vegetables

that come from a place

that is closest

to its natural state.

[David Perlmutter]

Years ago, there was

a commercial

for a particular margarine.

[woman]

That's not margarine.

That's my sweet, creamy butter.

[David] This woman,

who actually turned out

to be Mother Nature,

tasted it, and she said,

"It's not nice to fool

Mother Nature,"

and made lightning happen

and thunder.

The fact is that processed food

is not natural.

That's trying to fool

Mother Nature.

[Debbie]

Should I get the trash bag out?

[Nell Stephenson laughs]

Probably.

[David]

We should be eating

the foods that nature provides,

not that are scientized,

not that factories provide.

Would it be okay if I sat down

on that chair over here?

-Go through the store

without a problem.

-Yeah.

Okay. I'm sorry.

[Robert]

Your mom is the daughter

of my father's sister.

-So, your dad is my mom's uncle.

-That's right.

[Barry]

Dude, everything in there's

gonna have to go.

[Robert]

I think it's probably best

if it does.

Pasta Roni.

What is Pasta Roni?

-[Debbie laughs] Pasta.

-[Nell] I guess.

Even the name in and of itself

tells you how highly processed--

it's somebody's brand name.

-Abigail, get down.

-Any food preferences?

I know you gave me

the three-day diet diary.

-[Barry] Those are

her food preferences.

-[both laugh]

SpaghettiOs, chicken nuggets,

-Goldfish. Doritos.

-Goldfish is the normal--

-[Robert] What about drinks?
