It's a little o'clock. From time. She called my friend. Talks resume AMC -- Good morning Boston and this is -- -- we are and six CDW market Leo. 6172666868. That's six foot 72666868. To tell it and you guys you enjoy is a bacon cheeseburger. And irrigation Harris and I mix characterizing. You as a bacon cheeseburger a lover. Bizarre is not Turkey vigorous growth and -- here are still going here from when when you to the portal club. With a bright at all like bacon I like Turkey bacon. While -- like it could do you like slimming down I -- adults and -- and I think I have won again it's still likes the Goodmail working in the studio. That's absolutely insane because this healthy food movement now trust me I eat rather healthy but I don't wanna -- told that I have to eat healthy. By politicians are college administrators. Exactly what's happening at Paul Quinn College in Texas. Poker playing college in Texas has instituted -- ready for this. A ban on pork. Now you meant. Is so inherently racist it's absurd they said because the predominantly black college. And it population is predispose to obesity there banning pork because it's bad view. Did he bolt. During the Olympics just -- -- -- -- -- look like he might be able to afford a piece of bacon with a breakfast he's anything but obese the geared. A lightning flash for -- might actually help -- about protein -- -- -- those things play. So is so ridiculous. -- and on bacon. At a college now college you adult. I adults. That can. I trying to make your own decisions. Somebody who was old enough to get your ass shot off in Iraq or Afghanistan -- you all enough to decide whether or not. You -- side of bacon. I mean. On too far 6172666868. Is that quo. From the school president Michael sore row. He explain -- port is an unhealthy meat that can lead to a variety. Of health sisters. Paul Quinn College which I mentioned visit and historically black college. Has been refining. Its dining options refining in other words. Taking over what -- for refining for the moon bats and other than obliterate -- and I -- choices. Turning -- Bloomberg we're refining. The sizes. -- Soto has been sold in stores refining again another. Word. They take over refining -- means that they are gonna take away your choices. But I continue. It has hundred refining its dining options -- this new president took office five years ago. He said the student body is part particularly. Susceptible to issues such as heart problems and weight gain. The reality is that our student population. Comes from. I demographic that's struggles with the type of health concerns you see. And anger resource communities. War. Well what. Series. Ridiculous they tried to suggested that people. Who come from under resource to communities. Can't decide whether or not they sent one plays a big benefit besides of the big King Kong time. Now -- no pour policy. -- this catch on and other schools are you afraid that the next to a good you know what happens every time somebody comes up and an idea like this one. You know when Michael Bloomberg in New York City was talking about a ban on sodas and slashes and copy collide as. Well then the mayor of Cambridge decided that's agreed idea -- a -- and I quote this is exactly the language that was center Cambridge City Council. A ban on all sugary. Beverages are the sugary beverages. In Cambridge. At a Cambridge restaurant. February please tell me what ploy and it this school president on. His aren't really. Deep fried -- have cured pork. Some people might argue that this is a miracle. Drug. Oracle drug. It does add to try to suggest that somebody in one group is more prone to being fat. I mean it's so fat -- would you agree 6172666868. But guess what it's getting worse because it's not. Just about Paul Quinn College in Texas which most of us have never ever her -- of banning all pork items. How about this one Walt Disney has announced a radical plan. To -- and junk food and other high calorie -- food commercials from its networks and stations. Now. I used here this. Says sure they'll be some lost advertising revenue but the company said health food marketing will grow. Health food marketing. They knew -- and includes kidney -- programming on all ABC stations so if you want to turn the the Saturday morning cartoons and channel five don't expect to feel lucky charm but LeBron anytime soon. And aren't junk food ads will expand to Disney -- parts. But he's introducing articles Mickey check which isn't a Disney licensed product that meet the criteria for limiting calories saturated fat sodium and sugar. Where they can display a logo in this case Mickey's -- so this is a prosecution traditionally is well they're saying like okay. You guys -- the are your high sugar contents. You can't advertise I did you don't by the we have our own new products are gonna hit the store shelves and I wouldn't be shocked if those products are gonna be advertised on the Disney Channel in the coming months. I need to ask you this 6172666860. Do you really think. The kids are not gonna be fat because they don't see Count Dracula. During a Saturday morning cartoons. -- you think a kid will never eat lucky charms just because it doesn't -- electric car and giggling in the commercials come all and is this going to work at all. Understand. How it's possible that the argument then is. That it's continuing. To erode our personal freedoms. That these knee any -- decisions. No pork Paul Quinn College no bacon at all. No sodas and a large quantity in New York City no junk food ads in the morning cartoons is yeah you want. I even don't lose and that's somehow this is going to make little fact kids not little fat kids today morning in the world's. Think that. Eating junk food ads for kids is a methodology. That is going to attack obesity of course Iraq. What do you get their little fat -- -- I -- the house off the video games have we bring back Jim in sports and recess. Did not look at the complete lack of physical activity as potentially a problem. Yeah I think that the fact that you can buy hey do you wallets now at those Nat. You -- any thing you want with the EBT card. You're buying as much -- and crap as you could possibly -- desire. With our food programs. So you wanna attack obesity let's talk about the big giant elephant in the wrong. And -- is the idea that people who aren't food stamps one in seven EDT a -- whatever program it is. Can going to the CBS and by five begs the Swedish fish. Some -- and that's the problem folks and it's not the junk food ads that we grew up where and somehow we didn't manage through turn into monstrosity is. It's not eighteen at the school this is a problem because people don't move anymore what do you think -- you -- next on an atomic -- show. I. Now hi I I my feeling is -- the whole thing about obesity being the problem. And I'm at the college. I believe that it the -- one thing. And I say that because they are completely against -- and it makes no offense but all -- embarked and not eat. Our red meat that is what we're spend. Yeah I I did check on that alarm because of -- of course was the first thing he came to my mind but -- went colleges not a Muslim school. Is the president a Muslim I have no idea. That this idea that they did try to -- -- -- -- weight gain only and they isn't it -- you know knowing even asked in the question doesn't have any. Basis in religious philosophy. How well it doesn't look as if it does it's today talking about fat bacon makes your fat. I'm. Didn't anybody say that because -- -- -- yes they -- the al-Qaeda plaques are there to cover it up. Now our own yeah have favored junk food commercial -- -- the can't -- what was the one that is an almost never lucky charms I think it was lucky charms and you really. Because I keep thinking about lucky charms. -- Tracks it's a pretty good argument the commercial with the bunny. I can't think about that we could still picture of that body and I heads right now but you'll I mean you'll be flying to those marshals ruin your life. Out and that are being I've never -- -- -- back and underway and I eat junk very it and -- all the time. I just don't sit around. And any little thing aren't like Gordon Jimmie no dual work L oil workable the idea that. People are continuing to talk about being any food products as a way to combat obesity. And not a single person is talking about hiring a gym teacher -- send the kids how to the playground for recess it does it boggles the Biden the dot. It doesn't actually at work at all -- and baby and it's paid out. Come on -- block out. Now I now kids Irish people get offended and file a complaint with the ACLU with a -- is pretty high against. I'm sure they don't haven't really. Looked at. The big dance are not edit out hit as -- -- relay that problem is that read that we have. I work in a primary ball -- read that the plane minutes that day. On. And it's not an up and bit unfortunate thing hit it very. More community. And most of the kids that are they eat is chicken nuggets and French -- -- -- -- that they'd outsell. Taking away the potatoes -- they're going to be not eating any. When the whole thing Lauren I mean to typically the dictator was such an absurd reaction. When you said he itself -- crime happened on the side and played kick following get beat up like we get their recess. India in not only does give them -- exercise the -- is done. I would argue well the social skills you need. Later on in life like get knocked down and get back up. It I apologize Baghdad pet can get and the first thing they came -- my mind about the port. Boy you right I mean hey you know he could be -- candidates -- about the -- issue more importantly -- we appreciate your expertise is on working in a school. And talking about a -- -- LB and I'm sure there are food items -- -- and all over the commonwealth we know about the bake sale ban. There were trying to impose a statewide Peekskill band. But now some of the is school departments. Have independently adopted the big sale -- I think -- Arlington if anyone knows -- on 72666868. She well. Well that junk food cereal what the junk food add the you can still hear in your mind right now. Well Leo where we always remember lucky -- it was pretty catchy. -- -- -- -- -- -- Yeah I hired her grow up overall are fifty or as I was right there -- all of that stuff really came -- strong least drink direction runner up but was just. Liquid -- -- -- sugar water I mean bought scroll all the all seen critics was sharp -- but listen I'm sure I want that -- Our last caller I hope she soliciting is absolutely correct I will guarantee you this is a Muslim thing I don't care what the colleges saying. Because -- which is also called beat out the white meat is a lot healthier -- are you -- There aren't that big get what about the pork chops are a lot healthier for it at a -- This is definitely a muscle thing and they're afraid to say it could still be an -- brought about guaranteed if you look into this story you'll find a connection there. Because what is what. People in this country other than people from the Middle East are mostly muscle are a lot muscled its well. I don't I don't I don't wanna make that connection because the school denying at this I don't I don't -- -- Wait hold on and Joseph don't get excited when this CNN has to do this week -- Jack I'm sorry. I need to try to say that you are historically black college and you are in the student there are more prone to being fat. I'm czar if -- the -- College that's just cause they sang it. Want to lie to what every -- knows the media allies the schools like every little hearts -- RTC just go to school says that it. Pentagon saying let me get a lot worse you have a burger is a lot worse than a bookshop. Well thanks -- the way and that's code to tell you I tell you next on -- V show welcome. Should jolly do you remember on -- -- -- -- hundred cheese I can hear the Newton. They jingle right now and -- ahead. Well I don't ever have badges on the spot but the Arab descent shopping go to BRC would extra bacon can't get by realism a little. I know believe me I wish I could get myself a check fully with a piece of -- I still haven't had one of those challenges that. But don't go there ago I was talking Texas private school. And private school where I don't that this student -- a little bit better yet they know what those whoever they can't get up bacon ranch. But -- support for our youth group would change its policy. Bring the court said the exactly right jolly this just this whole idea or it's not at school at Disney didn't BN on junk food ads and -- piano whistler -- and in his sixteen ounce cup in New York. I mean how is going to work he just turned warrant talk about the kids in her school probably going to be -- details because that's bad -- and we don't have recess. Well it's hard to do is concerned that the show America that many. Because of the ad revenue being down under don't you have the policy -- no change that. This squirrels but says let's -- school securities and if people who are doing and they can make changes that they think -- Little -- -- While I appreciate that jolly thanks for the call I mean first we had to find out that this awesome food item has 2000 calories. Now they're linking this tasty treat alzheimer's. What. Bad movie staple in really bad you apparently I'm gonna tell you coming up on the stomach -- we are AM 680 WRKO 617266. 6868. On the -- Elizabeth to avoid rumors show what -- a -- There's maybe the surge Israelis resume Boston talks vision KM 68 WR Kerio. It's usually -- you. It in New York it now it's all about portion control and if you're gonna focus on soda. 32 ounces but. You can have to succeed -- that's fine. If we're gonna talk about banning soda well then should we -- ice cream which is pretty bad for you have a beer. -- really fattening it actually makes people angry and stupid and they go and drive cars and run over people. You know that's unhealthy too so my issue is not. How do we deal with the obesity problem and it is a -- problem this year but -- but what you know would that it just does feel like nanny state stuff. -- files on the heels of Mike Bloomberg here in New York putting a ban on. Large sizes of -- Did he any state thing I'm Michelle -- we are and 680 WRKO. Imagine. Can you imagine how many big and the right now on food they know the -- doesn't the public schools no bacon a Paul Quinn College. No junk food ads -- kids. As America struggles that's fat problem. And this awful news I was already furious when I found out that movie theater popcorn -- -- know -- 2000 calories the movie theater popcorn. 2000. I know you go -- -- the dot watch the boy and whatever the -- line. Which was awful by the way I was so bummed out. When he eat the popcorn and relative peace but -- now every more muscle that goes into your mouth you know 2000 calories 2000 caller's 2000 calories. Now next priority for this. Next time you go to the movies you are not only can we count the calories. You are going to be thinking well no and I can remember eating this popcorn and I can remember this because there is an ingredient. That gives microwave popcorn and buttery taste and smell. Well that little ingredient which is called diets that -- -- -- tell diet settle. May be linked to alzheimer's disease. Researchers at the university of Minnesota discovered that the compound. Which is also fine and found in some key in these Beers and white wines. Helps increase the pumping -- the type of protein in the brain that is associated with alzheimer's. So Elizabeth Warren next time your in the cheese shop. And you picking up a bottle wine in your expensive -- you might wanna warn. The people behind doing -- that white wine has the same properties as microwave popcorn and your calls. Cause alzheimer's. I wish I never knew about the calories and now the alzheimer's Paul won the -- and. -- On the ball to O'Neal all the public speech in America aren't gonna tell me now I can't I was slice of pizza. Are you Caribbean beach and find out you cameras like to be Szczerbiak keys. In eighteen -- get us our junior beef callies. And I am also all my ancestors that Irish Scottish Canadian so. I was sent to burn to -- and so they're coming IQ and so on base pay. Well that causes cancer Powell did this it only matters into your own yeah. They had some they can't go swimming tell them I'd be shocked Celtics. Thank god forbid they get my courage up to speed -- -- of grilled in the country illegally from Brazil right. My and that's what I'm talking about. While I don't trust institutions whether it's the government. Well there's a Catholic Church whether -- corporations I trust individuals. And I don't blame whistle blowers if you blow a whistle. On some old -- lady biology this fact guy at Penn State. Then you don't want everybody assures because all the evil needs and the government can be evil when they think they know what's best field. While they -- a file that's exactly what's happening you know that they don't government knows that's all are now yet huge corporation like Disney which owns ABC. Which means if you watch channel 5 Saturday morning cartoons and full disclosure on the -- correspondent for ABC news. I mean really if you don't see cuckoo for cocoa puffs of the commercially not gonna want Kugel the -- about -- and store. Downloading it what do you think -- you are next on the Michelle if you show. I I don't think that this is college right this is college where there -- adults who can make decision right for themselves. Right because. We know we're in pretty cool when we don't like to give them a lot of unhealthy snacks particular college they should be able since. -- Of course -- I mean it's absurd. It's absurd to be telling people who are old enough to go to war for us and fight for our country and fight for our freedoms that they can't have a slice of bacon act college. Right now. I take it this is the meal. Well you. Know this is a college so it's just it's not gonna be available anywhere on campus enacted a banning all pork. So they can get it. I guess they could go well get it. But while I guess in Texas to get probably go to the nearest chick -- because the administrators and taxes have not tried to ban like the administrators here in new York and Chicago -- Doorway thanks for the call let's go to Tom my time here on the Michelle McPhee show welcome Tom's. I'm Michelle welcome back communication you're asked a big you know what what -- about -- the -- Apparently it's having it there because the diet reasons is because they want spotlight by their parents and that would be an important is. It might say it's not much really because that means they went out that band and it bring back and food that's served there and I'm sure it's more important. And I hate -- -- not you they want I of people I think a conspiracy. But don't expect a big blow up the first scholar and and one right up there let's let's let's be in my element show I can't but help the Kodak is probably good. Because there are so many other that -- that they -- after being an analytic sit. It's this hot. -- but I'm getting back. I mean any -- in the I'm sorry it's inherently racist to suggest that African American the more prone to obesity that's isn't ludicrous to try to suggest that. But if you are gonna make that -- and you're gonna say that you know. Some -- brought under resource communities well then perhaps be EDT card in the snap program and -- should not allow parents to buy. Crap food today kids how apparent little lead I don't remember when you pleased to have the purple back in the green backs in the brown backs -- a literal food stamps. You're allowed to buy junk food. What -- got it I don't understand where there's no education another way do we get people August mining and that we you know because I don't I whatever you want to be unique because I've putted badly I'm -- prominent Alberto lately. But I don't then talk and end up being -- Educate their children I'm happy eater or whatnot he taught MW said he backed or whatever the parliament and I agree it's very -- that they're huge job. It's only African American are minority people that -- back because I need a little bit like an I'm not African American. Well they haven't time to this. I textured tells me the Georgia right golf course in Hyde Park. And I get to the bottom that's does not sell regular soda in Gatorade only sugar free drinks because the city says so. But what can you imagine if this is true. I would be surprised a bit because they China who are displayed. I've been being upset and they care if you are not taught how to eat right. You got there at the future and stop it you're an adult already hurt because until -- they eventually -- July. While they did top of the call I have obsessed about this now if somebody knows this to be true. Does -- Georgia right golf course and Hyde Park. Does not only say no sugar free drinks. Because the city says so is this true 6172666868. Men and have to ask my. My golfer in the house and see if I think he is golf to George -- that sincerity but not surprising in the Bob you are on the Michelle McPhee show welcome. On the show this is just ridiculous you know. I think I think this really grossed out that there are two sides Serbs of people through groups of both people you've got one group of people. Boo our very government believes that you're Smart enough to make your own choice. And then you have another group of people who believe. They're not Smart enough to make your own choices where you may have some sort of I'm issue where you just can't think is this straight. That this group of people who has been. If you are college. The -- is we call them pennies on the show the hemorrhoids they they get too big -- need like for example that there was a city councilor in New York whose father had a sodium problem. And it led to heart issues that idiot wrote legislation that would be and salt in all restaurants not until on an Italian shaft they couldn't put salt. You know and -- boiling water. To assault the pasta can you imagine that Bob. No bonuses this is where this is where competent to. Control issue it's more like OK I have the power it's made the choice for you I'm going to make the choice for -- regardless. Of all of your other choices I'm just going to show show control power over this one choice. And that way is -- about control is about power and that's what they're trying to impose upon us. Bob when your kid what we are we lost Bob bombshell on the -- we are and 680 WRKO. Bush -- junk food dad as a kid. Because you never -- again Disney will be -- junk food ads. Treat kids as America struggles whether it's back problem is that gonna -- 61726660. Its exit. Who's your personal -- and radio.
