:55:01
aren't pumping those dollars
into the machines.
:55:03
It's the children
in the community
:55:05
who are getting the money
from their parents,
:55:06
and instead of that money
going directly to education,
:55:09
the soft drink companies
are taking a cut of it
:55:11
and walking away rich
as a consequence.
:55:14
We just banned soda
in our school district,
:55:17
and the sugar here shows you how
much sugar a student will drink
:55:21
in a week of just soda.
:55:23
Forget about
the rest of the food they eat.
:55:25
And some of these companies
are really opposing the ban
:55:30
for reasons of
that we would lose revenue.
:55:33
And it's not about money.
:55:34
It's not about economics.
:55:36
It's about health.

Texas home-style burger meal.

homestyle burger meal, please.
:55:58

:56:01
Oh, yes, I would.
:56:03
Do a lot of people
super-size it?
:56:05
Yes.
:56:06
Say you asked five people.
How many of those five do it?
:56:09
Actually,
I get mostly all of them.
:56:11
Mostly all of them?
So you're batting about 100%?
:56:14
I guess.
:56:15
See that?
She's that good.
:56:18
Deborahs that good.
:56:18
First meal inside the restaurant
that I went in to get,
:56:21
and they asked me
to super-size it.
:56:23
We're gonna keep a little tabs,
:56:24
see how many times they ask me
to super-size it here in Texas,
:56:28
'cause Texas, out of the top 1
5 fattest cities in America,
:56:31
Texas has five.
:56:44
Here we are -- Houston, Texas,
fattest city in America,
:56:48
getting my first breakfast.
:56:54
