And I’m just gonna say for 9, just as a personal thing, I prepare food on my own because I like to control what goes in it

10… mostly because of the way I was raised…. Basically wasn’t “allowed” to be picky and whatever was made for you, you had to eat it all or it was an insult. Now I just make my own food with ingredients that are “safe”
