The next Stefan Good Day download with Doug and Jay Kershner is made possible in part by Keldron, which is the safe way for you to lose weight and keep it off. All right, here's somebody to be congratulated. We seem to find one of these stories at least once a week about people winning lotteries. They don't know where the ticket came from, or they had no idea, YadA, YadA YadA. So here's another one of those from Portland, Oregon. A woman got a really nice surprise. She was going through some old lottery tickets in her tupperware. Lady's name is Leslie Carr. She found a winning one million dollar Oregon lottery raffle ticket. It was with some other tickets, and then she went into the store. So, is there there's no statute on these things? You can if you won three years ago, you can still go in Or is there a statute? I think with these smaller ones, I don't think that there's a limit. Yeah, well a million bucks is a million bucks. Yeah, she had no idea it was the winner, she said, she's a medical receptionist. If it weren't for the billion dollar power ball, whenter making news. I would have forgotten about it. We don't check our tickets, and that's the question. How many This is a great question for social media. Actually, Jay, if you buy lottery tickets, how do you keep up with it? I just tossed when I saw his story for the first time. I had a couple of lottery tickets sitting here beside me on one of my stacks of conversational value, and so I just threw them away. I don't know whether the winterers or not, but I know there are datas. I just probably not the smartest if they weren't the jackpot I didn't. Yeah, well, we haven't seen any jack although the jackpot's going up again. That's like almost three hundred million. Is that powerball or mega millions? One of them is up pretty high at any rate. So congratulations to this lady who is a open The monkey wasted a lot when it's those smaller ones, because again, when it's the jackpot, it's announced the location that marting ticket was sold, the exact store and all of that. So you know, if you call wind of that and you know it's like, oh I did buy a ticket from there, I better go check it out. Where anything less than the jackpot. Nobody. Yeah, okay, right, the speaking of the jackpot, the twenty twenty four NFL Draft, thirty two teams got new players two hundred and fifty seven picks. I don't know. I didn't pay any attention to it because I don't pay much attention to that stuff. Although I was sitting someplace and I saw one of the kids from I think it was from Duke who got into Oh, I know what it was. I was in a restaurant. It was the Patriots. Because everybody's only about the Patriots picking this particular kid from one of the schools. But a lot of hoopla about it. I'll tell you something. There's so much interest. Now. Am I doing myself and my listeners a disservice? Nah? You can go find the stuff out. Do you want to listen to somebody talking about what's going on in the world of sports? I do general stuff here. This is talk about things in general, things that may mean something more to you on one day than another, not something like football. And that's when it comes to sports every day. Well, unless you're like a diehard sports fanatic where you know all of the things about all of the teams in the specific sport or all of the sports, and all of those. Most people are homers. They only follow their home team. They don't care about anything else. I think that's true of women playing basketball. Do you think that's the case with some of the women's teams still only hometown teams? Yeah? Yes, yeah, I think so? Yeah? Is it okay? I mean, back when Cleveland had a franchise with the WNBA, I could tell you anything about the Rockers, couldn't tell you anything about any of the other teams in the WNBA. Right there you go. Taylor's swift as her fourteenth Billboard number one album, The Tortured Poets Department, She's tied jay Z for the most ever for a solo act. I never would have thought that jay Z was in that Demarro. I would have thought the Beatles were probably there, right Frank Sinatra. But jay Z seeing that guy's music? What am I missing here? I get Taylor Swift? What about jay Z? Why is he? So? I was listening. We had my friend and co worker, Delroy, and I went out to Western Mash efter to pick up some stuff at a farm and we had a nice ride. Now we're out in an hour back and we were listening to music and we were talking about his musical preferences and mine, and he was moving on. He listens to a lot of Jamaican music because he's a native Jamaican and they like Bob Marley and all that stuff. But I was I got a big kick out of him, just kind of bouncing around. I had fifties channel on the sixties channel on the seventies channel, and Elvis and the b Chance. We were back and forth, and it was a nice conversation about something other than work, other than our families. It's just about music. Because music. The reason I'm bringing in the story up is because music is something that ties us all together. It really really does. It's something that we enjoy together. Not all music, for sure, but it does. It's the universal language. As corny as that sounds, it really really is well and it speaks to the listener on the listeners level. So like some people could be hearing the exact same song but going through different things personally, and they don't enjoy the same song, but they take different different things from that same song. It really is astounding and it's art. I listened to some of the stuff we listened. It's so much fun to hear some of these older songs and the newer stuff too. If it's any good. I don't find anything that's a value of the new music, then you probably would argue that point with me, right. I feel that way about all all genres of music, all decades, that some are absolutely great, are not so much. What I've noticed a lot is that there we are in this period of taking a lot of songs from previously and remaking them or sampling them. It's it's a lot of originals. I don't want to say there's not as many originals, but I can't go a day without hearing at least five to ten songs of that were a previous song from my childhood. What's old is new again? As they say, all right, here's a question for those of you who live around the South Carolina. There were a lot of Chicicada's Cicada Cicada, I say, Cicada, Cicasa, Cicada that have moved into a lot of towns in South Carolina, and now the apocalypse has created a problem with people listening and they don't know whether it's the noise from the chicatas or whether it's a siren. So they've started calling the police. This is a story of a Newbury County, South Carolina residents calling authorities to complain that the influx of cada's is so loud it mimics the noise in the air that sounds like a siren. I just probably shouldn't laugh about it, because they're damn dangerous and they're damn past and they're a damn nuisance and whatever. But this is something the police say, No, it's not a siren. The chickata's chicckada's and so these they come about every spring. You see them here and there around the country. But now because they're hatching, they've lived underground for a number of years, some of them, and they're out and about now and they're having what their version of sex is, and they're having babies, whatever the version of that is. It's kind of annoying. And so this is but you have different roads, and the different broads have different amount of time that they're underground, and this happens to be a time period. And then when there are different, you know, multiple roads that come out at the same time. It's usually in like a smaller vicinity where this is like way more widespread, and it's the thirteen and the seventeen year broads all right. One in five samples of retail milk analyzed revealed traces of bird flu. This is from the current outbreak that has affected dairy cows in several states around the country. Official say products are safe to consume. Hello, duh, because there's nothing that's going to happen to you. I'll miss it's It is ridiculous the way the news media has once again created a complete panic over something that is false. But why are they coming so hard for dairy, for milk and all of that, Because I hear nothing about eggs. I would think bird flu chicken, chicken eggs more than I would think cows and the milk. Yep, Well, there are outbreaks among the chicken. You know. That's a good question is to I don't know the answer to this as to how it affects the meat from the chicken or the hen as well. The hen lays the eggs. Chickens are raised for meat and hens are raised to you know, have eggs, and so they are monitoring for this H five N one activity looking for you know, it starts and birds and then has gone to poetry. Wild birds geese are the worst disseminators. There have been some sporadic infections among other mammals. I think there are only two cases in our country of people who've gotten bird flu. There's nothing to you, There's been no person to person spread of it. The health, the risk is very very low. The you know, I tell you what I know from my history and experience on the farm that this is pretty much a problem of geese. And so if you're around where geese are, you don't even want to stay away from whatever's on the ground. All right. Does that help everybody? I think, oh it does anyway. Dan Rather returned to CBS after eighteen years of not being connected. When he left, he left in a huff. More or less, he quit, but he was fired. It was like a whole thing. He was on the CBS network for forty four years. He was angar of the CBS Evening News after Walter Cronkite for twenty four years. Since then, there really hasn't been a good I mean, this is me and not necessarily objectively. I don't think name people doing the news now are what is he in his nineties. Now, oh he's ninety two. Wow, yep, so he did. He was trying to patch things up. He made a mess out of some of the interviews he did with President George. He was always trying to get you. You know. It's one of those let's go get them guys. He talked to a unknown correspondent. That shows you how much how important he really was. I don't know who this guy is, Lee Cowen, whoever heard of him? He wasn't apologetic, He just said I missed CBS. Okay, listen, h you sort of what's the old expression, you make your bed and you lie in it. In terms of social media and the technology of how this all works and our continuing fascination with things that are going on that we have no controller like AI, here's the story of a company from Slovenia. The company is called paint Cam. Seems to be shaking things up a bit in the security world. They've come up with a new gadget called the paint Cam. I not just another security camera watching over your house. This thing packs a punch with a paintball and tear gas, so it gives intruders a surprise that they will certainly not quickly forget their march, probably with the paintball, right, Yeah, of course they are. Yeah. So anyway, this is a sophisticated computer vision technology that identifies human faces and animals even if it's dark. Distinguish it, yeah, right. It distinguishes between friends and people that nobody knows and they're coming to the front door. So there are three different models, one called Eve, one called Eve Plus, and another one called Eve Pro that allows you to categorize visitors. There's an app interface that goes with it that makes decisions about who's welcome and who's not. The most intriguing thing about this, though, is the fact that when Eve detects an intruder, it issues a stern warning, and if the intruder doesn't heed it, it launches paintballs and tear gas at this person who's at the front door. What if it's a delivery person, I don't know, they've gotten that far good luss, Yeah, throw it on the front portion countdown. Anyway. The system alerts the homeowner when an unknown person is detected in the company of somebody who's known, and it asks itself whether to take the shot or not. This is really and it's kind of interesting. The feature places a heavy responsibility on the user, turning home security into a more interactive and more complex activity. How users will navigate these choices actually in high pressure situations hasn't really been tested yet, according to the company. So a security camera that can shoot at intruders, So how appealing is that to those of you who live in high crime areas? Like, I'd also wish that you could take it over, kind of like the ring doorbell, you know, it like notifies you, but then you can go live. I'd like to go live to my little shooter. I'm sure that's probably on the Plus or the Pro Pro plus or whatever it is. Yeah, right, yes, yeah, But what happens if it mistakenly identify as a neighbor or a child. It's not going to hurt you. It's just gonna hurt you. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean yeah. I'd rather be shot with a paintball than an actual board any day of the week. And I have been shot with a paintball. Those suckers hurt. They do hurt if you're absolutely hurt, and they will they will leave a welts and bruise. And but you know what, it doesn't really break the skin. Everything's okay. I would not like to be hit with tear gas. I'm not down for that. But also, how comfortable are you with the idea of of a security camera or a security system that can autonomously deploy walls or tearcasts. Yeah, this is AI. This is what we're looking at in the future. So anyway, there probably are some legal ramifications that haven't worked out yet. It's using force, but it's not lethal, and so you're going to get sued by somebody. If you're on someone's property, you're on their property, so they have kind of a right to this. This is sort of a what do they call shoot first la where you can squat and the squatters have to write, Yeah, what's the what is that thing called shoot the guns? Standard ground? Right? This could be another application of that all right. Anyway, here's a very interesting discovery a time capsule from nineteen twenty discovered in Minnesota high school. Time capsules, Man, they are I think we don't think much about them today. I remember a lot of time capsules that were part of my growing up. They build a new school and I put something in a brick in the corner of one of the you know, the front sides of the of the school. So anyway, in Minnesota, this particular discovery, if you want to call it, that found during the demolition of an old building. But I never thought about that part that like whenever we're doing time capsules, because we did. I remember one of my scholares, we I think it was elementary school, we did a time capsule, and I always thought, Okay, when it comes time to open it, like they know, they know where it is, they know when they're supposed to open it. It never dawns on me that these things get lost. People don't like, they don't they don't communicate that Hey there's a time capsule here, and it's not until people like randomly stumble across it. Yeah, and that's what happened here, demolition of the old building, the old high school. And you see a lot of that now, tearing down the schools. We're doing that in my town. And you see it where they have a school that was built in nineteen twelve. It's not good for the students anymore. Why why can't you just update it? And then you have something that has some the schools that are not built. Yeah, there are maybe things building the tools that are used maybe a little bit better, but there's something about the statuesque look of an old building. It's very cool. We have my old junior high school, which used to be the high school here in town, is going to be redone. It was built, I think it was built around the it was one hundred years ago or a little bit more. So they're going to keep the facade, rip the This is amazing how they do this. They're going to keep the facade and they're ripping the guts of the building out and building a courtroom inside, but it will still look the same outside. I like when they do stuff like that, it's not as disruptive to the learning and process and stuff because of trying to go to school while they're also workers that are trying, you know, with the loud toools, trying to do different things. It's like the kids can the students can still be learning while they're building the new school. And once the new school is ready, they just all move all their stuff over then they can start working on the old place build up. Speaking of disruptive, we have the continuation of all these protesters and in fact, the crackdown at Columbia University is an example, it seems to me this week of what ought to be done immediately at all of these schools, cracking down on the campus disturbances because hello, some students are actually there because they want to learn. They are not interested in protesting, although the protesters if they're doing a peaceful, intelligent job of it and actually educating people as to what the issues are and maybe what you think. But instead the protesters at many of these schools have overtaken buildings. At Columbia, they overtook administrative building. They were arrested, taken out of the building by the police. They'll face charges. This is something. Let's think about this as related to January sixth, shall we the impact of peaceful protesting and what you do with the people who don't peacefully protest, Because there was a there was a group of people in Washington that day who were peacefully protesting. They didn't like what was going on, and so they were, but they get caught up in this other huzzle eye that was going on the people who wanted to damage, the angry people, the people with guns and the tools of destruction. So one wonders, if you look at the history of takeovers again am using, generous, but there are a lot of them. The people will say, well, look back at the American Revolution. We had guns and they were protesters, but we used the guns to actually get the job done. And I don't know, how do you argue with that man speaking, because the guns and the and the violence is what got the British out of here. They weren't going to leave on their own. But there were a lot of people who didn't want to have that kind of a revolution at that time. There were a lot of people who didn't want to have January sixth and in between, there's been plenty of stuff. The Civil War was a protest against slavery, right, the Spanish American War in eighteen twelve was a protest against immigration. Believe that go back that far and fast forward to to I don't know whether you could say the World War One or World War II. I suppose that that was a protest in a matter of speaking, But I think you get my drift. So going back to what's going on in the college world, it means the squatters, well, a lot of those aren't even the college students. Yeah, honestly, you know who is educated. Ivyley College students. Even if they are protesting, they are they are educated, and they know what they're protesting, and they fully believe in the cause. And you're at once that it's just because you're protesting the war in Gaza or protesting against the complete destruction and killings across the board, because what happened on October sixth, was it fifteenth not seventh? Unacceptable? What's happening with the killing of all of these innocent people unacceptable? And you could take it as far as what's going on what you've mentioned, Doug with Brescia and Ukraine unacceptable. Some people are protesting war in general, but there has to be a name put with everybody. So if they're protesting the war, then suddenly they're anti Semitic, they're a self hating Jew like every It's just one of those things of I don't know, nobody can just I don't want to say peacefully talk to each other because that sounds naive. I hear hav Well, no, nobody wants to listen. There's no discussion. It's I'm right and you're wrong. It's the same title thing night, yes, right, yeah, I mean, it's just a continuum of all of this stuff that's going on the Republicans and Democrats, the Jews and the Christians, or the Jews and the Muslims, not not not the Christians. Christians pretty supportive of the Jewish State for the most part. But it's that sort of thing. My daddy's bigger than your daddy, you know. It's like hello, So it's great business time for Caldron. I would think the phones would be ringing off the hook and people would be ordering nauseum. That's right. You know. It'd be twenty five years this April, and we've been helping customers lose wight safely and effectively for twenty five years. So if you need to lose a why you've really got to check it out on our website Top Lost Dog, because, like Doug said, it's so much more than just a white lost product. I mean, we're not talking about a quick, fake spad product. There are no drugs, there are no stimulants. Our number one agreement is collagen protein. It's got types one and three. That's for the muscle and the joints. All right, and don't forget the ninety ninety special right now.

Caltrin at top loss dot com thanks to Elizabeth Miller here one of the great caltrinconsultants at top loss dot com. Here's something I'm not happy about. The fellow who runs the Consumer Technology Association, a guy named Gary Shapiro, went to testify this week to the House. You know, this whole business about the AM radio bill, and now pretty much seems unstoppable. But there were a lot of people on Capitol Hill this week. There were on both sides, which is good, the bipartisan the steam roll or effect of let's protect am radio. But then you take detractors like this guy Shapiro, who went way beyond what he needed to say to denigrate AM radio and FM radio on every level during the hearing, and you got to wonder, well, he's a paid lackey. We got that people who run these associations, you know, they're paid to do what the people who pay for him to be there pay, you know, But he just he came across as a jerk. And then maybe that's part of his job. Maybe he's supposed to come across as a jerk. He looks like a jerk, he sounds like a jerk. And you know what they say, looks like a duck, cracks like a duck as a duck. Yeah. So anyway, he opened his testimony saying that consumer choice should dictate the technologies included in cars. Okay, how about all choices, everybody. Some people don't want the stuff that's in the more modern vehicles. They want AM radio, they want FM radio. And so he said, well, there's no consumer demand for AM radio. Do you realize how stupid that is, especially in light of the stats showing how many people are listening every week to AM and FM radio. Ninety three percent of the people who live in this country are listening to a radio, and granted very few, you know, they don't have an AM radio per se. They say to Siri, get me this radio station, or to what's the other one that alexa? Alexa? Yeah, find me WLW in Cincinnati, right, or WABC in New York, or w KFI in Los Angeles, or KFYI and Phoenix or wherever kgo. All of these stations that have loads of listeners. You can find them that way. If you want to. But the fact that this guy Shapiro critique the broadcasting industry's claims about AM radio and how many people listen to it. He critiqued it, but he didn't offer any proof of his point of view. He said, only one percent of the people in this country listen to AM radio. How the hell do you know that you didn't present here. There's a research paper that was done by the Pew people. Nah. He used his time to voice his support for performance fees for radio. Okay, you want to listen to the radio, then pay for it. Yeah, right, this guy is okay, Doug come down, Oh my god, all right. Speaking of things that are absurd, as you know, I've got this thing going with doctor kan Kronhouse about ozempic and about what is it? What GOVI whatever these drugs are and there are a lot of people who have taken this stuff that was originally a well. It's interesting because there are a lot of drugs that are developed. It's kind of like, you know, things like electric light bulbs. We're developed while Edison was looking for something else, and that happens a lot. So now the government is challenging some of the patents on ozempic because they figure that there's so much money that has been made. This is a they went in right exactly, that's what they do. They want to get in on the action. So we have this, you know, we we've from the beginning when this this is one of these drugs that had somebody cleverly came up with a jingle oh oh oh oh zemp yeah okay, and there you go. So anyway, there is a big push. It's supposed to be ten years though, isn't it. You have a patent on drugs and supposedly it's ten years and then it goes into the public say, it's kind of like music, although it takes music longer to become to sort of just you know, it's public domain. So now the Federal Trade Commission has sent warning letters to ten different drug makers this week that have these patents on the drugs for weight loss. There's also the diabetes and asthma and you know, some of the things that repair your system. So they've challenged patents filed by Novo and Glaxo Smith Klein and Astrazenica and a bunch of other companies. They say that the patents are inaccurate and misleading, and because these drugs are being used for other things, I guess they have at they get a point. They certainly use the patents to protect their medicines, and I get that it takes a long time and a lot of money. We have a company here in Framingham where I live that developed drugs. It's a French company. I'm trying to remember the name of it begins with an S. But their headquarters in America is here and they do a lot of research here. And you can these there's four huge buildings in which there are hundreds of people employed to come up with new drugs. That's their job, and so you know, God knows what goes on and what kind of experimentation goes on in these buildings. But at any rate, once they get the drug and it is approved, then they patent it. And so I get that they, you know, don't want the generic drug makers to just suck off of the work that they've done. But then they've kind of hurt themselves because of these bogus patent listings. If I'm understanding this correctly, Jane, I think I am the problem of costs, especially you know, generally speaking in America, we pay more than anybody else in the world for prescription ruds significantly more, right, yeah, people, I mean, yes, we're always talking about college debt and all of that stuff, but a lot of people are in debt because of medical things. The medical debt is absolutely huge. But when it comes to specifically with ozempeg and with Goovy and these weight loss drugs that originally I mean, even with the diabetes, it's still a weight loss drug because losing weight will help you manage your diabetes, and that's the purpose. And now that it has been approved for just general obesity even without diabetes, more insurance companies are covering the cost. However, if your insurance company does cover the cost, whether it is for obesity or diabetes anything like that, it is still more difficult to get it than if you were paying out of pocket because when you pay out of pocket, you pay more and they get more money. So that's why there's always these shortages because more and more people were paying out of pocket. But it also doesn't fix a bigger issue where I have a friend who is taking a zembic and she is very healthy, she eats very well, has been for years, has a workout routine, has for years, has a trainer and just wasn't losing weight. And her doctor prescribed this to her because she's like, you're doing everything that you're supposed to be doing, it's just not coming off. You're not gaining weight, but it's just not coming off. And she didn't really experience a lot of the horrific side effects that people do, so this was really good for her. But there are other people who I think a lot of people forget that sometimes Oba city isn't just lifestyle, it's an actual eating disorder. And if you like it's caused by needing disorder, I should say not that obesity is an eating disorder, but it could be caused by needing disorder. And just like if you get liposection or have your stomach stapled and you don't work through the psychological reasons of why you gain so much weight to begin with, once you lose the weight and go off of everything, you're going to gain it all back, because that wasn't the root cause wasn't addressed. This woman is an actress. She's a daughter of Goldie Han. She's very she's very good and we know she didn't sing because she's had she's sung in many of her roles in movies. Right, So now there is the focus on, or the discussion, if you will, of her taking this long trip to take the musical talent that she has and build an album around and of good songs. The album's called Glorious. So she has said during a number of her interviews that somebody told her that she was too old to make music, and this was like fifteen years prior. She has been wanting to do music for a long time and in her early she's forty five now, in her early thirties, they were like, you can't suddenly become a pop star. You can't suddenly put out an album. Maybe you're too old for this. Unfortunately, a lot of people in general, but especially to women, Women have an expiration date that is much earlier than men. And she is saying, you know what, watch man, I'm going to do what I want to do. Isn't that interesting you referred to it as an expiration date. By the way, we're in the social media section of this hour of the Good Day program, and in this time we go through a lot of the trending lists to see what celebrity news there is and whose name are whose names are in the list, and so she's back in the list again, as she's been very forthright saying blank you to people to say, eh, you can't make me. Yeah, I think she's good. Frankly. I liked it's kind of a nice, smooth, poppy sound that don't you don't kind of see in a way. Yeah, it doesn't sound like everything else, as I say frequently, and some people agree with me, and some people don't agree. That's fine. I think most of the music that's produced today sounds like the same beat, sounds like the same music, no matter who produces it. It all sounds the same and has for a number of years. But I thought it was cool and different and familiar yet different but familiar in the same at the same time. So good for her. I like it when somebody this is a good example, I'm gonna show you. And maybe that's the kind of thing when people are protesting. Here's the way that I would like to see it done, or we I'd like to see it done. Not just tear down what's going on now, But what's the better way of doing it? What's the better way of looking at an issue or a problem? Right, that's the way I would think that it ought to be. That's in an evolving world of people who think so. Congratulations to Kate Hudson. The birthday of one of the children. Remember Kobe Bryan and Vanessa Brian. Right, people have almost forgotten about this daughter, Gianna, Yeah, question passing in that crash. Yeah, all right, and she would have been eighteen this week. So Vanessa is celebrating with the release of a new shoe. Why not? She still has the Kobe Nike thing. That is a big part of how they earned the living. I'm sure they were left fine. But it's a black, white and gold, sort of a butterfly theme. So if you're interescy, you're looking for something like that, I suppose. But more importantly, we've forgot. I've not forgotten about it, but I haven't had it on my mind. It's certainly something that it startled us when it happened. It sure did. It absolutely startled all of us. Hey, do you want to get out of here? You want to go to Vegas? Well, guess what five four to one travels can help, and so can we call right now? Eight hundred four one nine Doug, Doug, that's eight hundred four one nine three six eight four and get away to Vegas.

So one of the things this week that people are talking about with regard to food, as the tons and tons and tons of deli meat that has been recalled all across the country. They have not, they're not. I'd look at the overview. You know, you can read between the lines here and we certainly know that there's nothing that's produced for so called food that's immune from a recall, not even ready to eat Deli meat. So one of these big giar like ConAgra outfits that owns nine hundred jillion different packing companies and different brands and stuff. The recall affects people pretty much in every estate in every region of the country, in California and Pennsylvania. So retailers have been asked to take this stuff off the shelves actually produced in Germany, and there is no inspection. If I understand the whole story correctly here right, It's like proshudo and some of these other things that are products of Germany and they contain who knows what, but the fact that it's imported and didn't get this is just another one of these sort of warning, these tidbits like the Brazilian beef that comes in. And because of the lobbyists and because of the corruption in our government, the bureaucrats are able to shield the people that pay them off. I'm not saying every bureaucrat is a crook, but I'm telling you that there's a lot of stuff going on the USDA that is not legit. Put it that way, and this is a perfect example of it. Perfect example, also the USDA this week they've updated the rules for school meals that limit the amount of sugar that youngsters can have, at least through the auspices of the school lunch program. And we all know that now it's not just the school lunch program. There are a lot of students that go to school in the morning and at breakfast, and they stay for after school activities and they get dinner, they eat all three of their meals. At least that's the way it is here in my hometown of Framingham. What about out in Cleveland, Jay, Are there youngsters that are going to school that have no other belief source of Yeah? Anyway, So there are thirty million students every day, and we have a twenty two billion dollar nutrition budget to help what's going on in the schools. And so as a result of that, the announcement is important and has teeth. The limits on added sugars are going to come out, but they're not coming out until next year. Why don't they just say, as of now, you can't have high sugar foods, the sugary cereals, the flavored milk. You know, there's been a whole big thing. This is shows you how ridiculous the government is even though I'm paying attention, Sugar is actually in prepared foods, like a lot of this. A lot of these things that came are basically freezer meals. Yeah, some places are cooking things right in the kitchen, but others are just heating things up. Yeah, right, steam them. They steam them, and so I remember that's what they used to do. They had a big central kitchen in our school system, and then they would bring the food around and they have them in steamers so they keep them hot, that sort of thing, kind of like what they do on the airplane. Frankly, all the foods prepared to just put them in a cooker and they provide them to you after they've warmed them up. Flavored milk is still going to be available. This was a big to do. Remember a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about why bother to serve zero fat milk because it's of no value whatsoever. Let's get They went back to using in and recommending that ninety percent of the milk that's offered in schools would be whole milk because it has essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, potassium, that sort of thing, and there's not that much. Even though the flavored milk Chocolate Milk has some added sugar in it, it's not that much.
