[00:00:00] [00:00:15] [00:00:30] Hello everyone. I am Jim Bakker, owner of 50 Cups Tea. Our tagline is United, we Sip. [00:00:45] And the reason why we chose that is because I believe we are more unified in this country than we are.
Not all of us are have a lot in common, especially as it relates to health. Nobody I know, including myself, [00:01:00] wants to get sick, wants to feel bad, wants to be unhealthy, and I think that to me is the key to everything because if you don't have your health, you simply don't have anything.
Our goal is to make tea. Which is the number two drink in the [00:01:15] world. Number one. The reason why it's not number one here in the US is simply because it doesn't taste good. Our tea tastes good. Not only that, it's also really good for you as well because we view health as the most important thing [00:01:30] in our country at this point in time.
Unfortunately, our country is becoming sicker and sicker in 1998. 14% of our underage population were on some type of medication.
Today, 56% of those [00:01:45] people are on medication. If our youth are not healthy, then when they become adults, they're not gonna be healthy as well. Most of this has to do with the toxins. Has to do with the processed food that we all are [00:02:00] consuming in this fast-paced society that we live in, and our goal is to bring back your health by offering high quality, good tasting tea to you.
In addition to that, we are victors. We are not victims. [00:02:15] We want you to improve yourself. We want to provide thought provoking information to you. One of the things I wanted to do was start a podcast where I'm gonna share with you [00:02:30] some of my hot takes in life. Hopefully those hot takes will allow you to think about things.
You may change your mind, you may not. You may reinforce what you're already thinking, but nonetheless, the goal is for you to become more [00:02:45] self-aware and for you to think about what's really going on in this world. So. Hopefully you'll like it. Hopefully you'll join our email list. Hopefully you'll subscribe to our podcast Nonetheless, we appreciate you listening to us today.
