WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:02.640 It's Night Side with Dan Ray. 2 00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:06.040 I'm Boston News Radio. 3 00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:10.519 All right, we are in our fourth and final hour, 4 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:12.800 and we're talking about an issue that we've never talked 5 00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:15.679 about on Nightside. We're in our eighteenth year, and to 6 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:17.719 the best of my knowledge, we have never devoted an 7 00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.120 hour to this. This is a subject that has been 8 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:26.000 out there, heard about it, never focused on it. By 9 00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:34.000 the way, one of my most trusted correspondents just sent 10 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:38.960 me a text. For some time, certain fresh oranges have dull, 11 00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:44.159 collared skin and have been dyed for years. I learned 12 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:50.520 that in Wayhi years ago. Well guess what look I 13 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:55.759 like oranges. Thank you very much for that information. I 14 00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.320 like oranges, and they taste great, okay, and they're a 15 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.600 great source of vitamin C. I love the pulp and 16 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.159 all of that. I love those oranges that are seedless 17 00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:09.680 and all of that. I don't need to have them, 18 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.560 you know, have the the the color that is artificially 19 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.480 increased to make it, you know, as orange as you 20 00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.760 can make it. I don't care what color it is, 21 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.640 as it long as it tastes good, that's all. And 22 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.079 I certainly, you know, I think we have we've been 23 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:35.760 conditioned in this country that if we see a bag 24 00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:39.840 of oranges and unless they are the perfectly shaped or 25 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.879 the I think we've all been conditioned for that, To 26 00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.280 be really honest with you and I and I think 27 00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:47.359 that that we should have smartened up about this a 28 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:52.840 long time ago. Again, never interviewed our FK Junior. So 29 00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:54.920 this has got nothing to do with you know, he's 30 00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:56.920 a friend of mine. I've interviewed many members of the 31 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.640 Kennedy family over the years. He is. He's not someone 32 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.719 I know, not someone ever talked with. But he's stuck 33 00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.560 with this issue and you got to give him credit 34 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.439 for it, as well as doctor Marty McCarey, now the 35 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.240 FDA commissioner. And you got to give President Trump some 36 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.599 credit on this. And I want to hear some of 37 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.000 my progressive friends and maybe I won't, but I will 38 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.000 be disappointed if I don't, although maybe not surprised. I 39 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.080 want some of you to step up to the bar 40 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.199 and say, look, I don't like Donald You can tell 41 00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:32.960 me that you don't like Donald Trump, but this is 42 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.719 something that you have believed in for years, and it 43 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.919 doesn't matter under what administration that gets accomplished. But if 44 00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.280 we get these dies, these orange dyes, these red dyes, 45 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.719 these green dyes, these blue dyes, all of these dyes 46 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.240 out of our food chain. That's a good thing and 47 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.560 that's something that all of us should agree upon. And 48 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:55.439 if it was President obamalled it up, who pulled it 49 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:58.960 off of President Biden, I would want my Republicans to 50 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.039 belly to the bar and tell me, guess what, you 51 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:06.080 gotta give them credit? This was this, This is this 52 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.719 is make America healthy again. Got a couple of sebbies 53 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:13.680 here from RFK Junior because I want him to get 54 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.879 the glory in this one and get him to get 55 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.759 him to credit. This is cut number twenty three. Please 56 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.680 Rob if you do cut twenty three. 57 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.520 And my uncle was present three percent of American kids 58 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.319 at chronic disease. Today it's around the sixty percent. 59 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:33.879 And these are a broad category the ones. 60 00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:39.759 That already mentioned like ADYHD, neurological disorders ADD EIGHTYHD, speech delay, 61 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:46.520 language lay ticks to red syndrome, arcolepsy, ASD, and autism. 62 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.879 All of these are injuries that I never heard of 63 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:51.159 when I was a kid. They were not part of 64 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.400 the nomenclature, they weren't part of the dialogue. 65 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.680 And there's a huge expense associated with this. The next cut, 66 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:00.800 rob cut twenty four. 67 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.800 There was zero spent in this country treating chronic disease 68 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.639 when my uncle was president. Today is about one point 69 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:15.680 eight trillion dollars annually. Is bankrupting our nation. Seventy four 70 00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.000 percent of American kids cannot qualify for military service. Oh, 71 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.120 how are we going to maintain our global leadership with 72 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:25.519 such a sick population? 73 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:32.519 And then one other final quote, this is RFK cut 74 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:33.480 twenty five. Up. 75 00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.240 We have all these autoimmune diseases, these exotic diseases, and 76 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:43.600 again I never heard of juvenile diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, loupis, 77 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.040 Cron's disease, and one hundred others that were just unknown 78 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.279 when I was a kid. I never knew anybody with 79 00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.000 a peanut allergy. I never knew anybody with a food allergy. Well, 80 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.319 I do five of my seven kids of allergies. I 81 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:02.240 never knew of anybody who had. I have a very 82 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.360 small number of children with asthma, but that has exploded 83 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:12.279 as well today, and our fertility is dropping dramatically. Teenagers 84 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.399 in this country today have the same as the hostrung 85 00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.480 levels as sixty eight year old men. 86 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:20.000 Are our girls are. 87 00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.839 Reaching puberty six years early, from ten to fourteen years old, 88 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.879 and this is a This is existential for our country 89 00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.680 and we have to address it. 90 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:36.120 It has been addressed by the Food and Drug Administration 91 00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:41.000 and be Health and Human Services and get these phony 92 00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:48.199 food dyes, petroleum based food dies, get rid of them. 93 00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:51.720 We have a lot of sound here that I can play, 94 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.480 but I want the sound I want to hear from 95 00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.839 all of you. Let me go to Jennifer in Brockton. Jennifer, welcome, 96 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.759 you are next on night Side. This is something I 97 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.279 think we should celebrate. 98 00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:04.120 With you. 99 00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:07.720 I'm not a fan of Trump, not a fan of 100 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:12.720 our FK. However, they deserve a big round applause on. 101 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:14.720 You know this. 102 00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.399 We've been aware of this. We've been I have two kids. 103 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:20.160 We've been looking at the labels of a sense I 104 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.199 can remember, and you know, shopping is difficult for me 105 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.319 because I look at I check everything. But you know 106 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.480 it's not just the food ayes. I'm glad that they're 107 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.759 focused on that. I think that's a great place to start, 108 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.399 and it's right there. Everyone can see a plane and simple, 109 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.839 but there's a lot of deception on the labels. I'm 110 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.720 hoping that they get to some of the other issues too, 111 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.959 like there's a lot of ingredients. I don't know if 112 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.600 you ever heard of the term excito talksin. 113 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.199 I've read some. I've read some of the labels like you, 114 00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:59.360 and it's almost as if were like the little mice 115 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.680 that are on the treadmills. We're all working. We got 116 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:08.600 to get everything accomplished. They know we don't read the labels. 117 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:11.079 Because most of us don't have time to read the labels. 118 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.000 We rely on government to really to read the labels. 119 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:18.480 I will take Robin F. Kennedy Junior's guidance on this 120 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:22.079 because I think he understands the issues, and he may 121 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:26.040 be a buch to the beat of a different drama 122 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.600 in many respects. His voice sounds a little weird, but 123 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.920 he's dealing with some sort of a condition or a disease. 124 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.759 We need to listen to what he says when he 125 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.519 talks about this. It's a simple It's as simple as that. 126 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:41.680 And and I read labels like you do, I probably 127 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:43.959 have less of an understanding. I don't even know. I 128 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.839 kin't even pronounce these chemicals. 129 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.959 Right, like malted extra and not me seems scary they're 130 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:53.279 really terrible. You know, we all know about MSG. Everyone's 131 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:57.279 sort of MSG. It's it's like a flavor enhancer, and 132 00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.879 when foods touch the spoil, it helps it keep a 133 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.399 good flavor longer. So I don't like that because it's deceptive, 134 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.560 and I don't want to be paying top top dollar 135 00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:10.120 for my food only to know that it's filled with 136 00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.480 all this nasty stuff. But like, I don't know if 137 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:16.680 you ever notice on the label, Dan, like this is 138 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:21.279 something that really likes. Shocked me. The term natural flavor 139 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:23.160 have you used? 140 00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.319 I have no idea what that means. I mean natural flavor. Yeah, 141 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:30.399 I think the implication is, well, it's it's the flavor 142 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.759 of whatever this and it hasn't been adulterated, but I 143 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:36.840 suspected it probably has go ahead. 144 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.039 It is. I had a research it myself because I 145 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:48.960 couldn't believe it, but it is. It's the annual glands. Yes, yes, 146 00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:55.080 because it supposedly has a tangy like sour type flavor, 147 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.600 and they use it for like vanilla flavoring when they 148 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:02.960 don't want to use like vanilla, the extensive raspberry flavoring, 149 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:06.879 strawberry flavoring, and ganala, those three which you know, and 150 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:11.320 children's foods and you know, we all love strawberries raspberry vanilla. 151 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.960 So yeah, yeah, so you want to make sure you 152 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:23.120 see vanilla bean specs or whatever if you can avoid 153 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.519 natural flavor, that's what that's what that is. 154 00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:31.480 Well yeah, yeah, at this point, boy, I will never 155 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.200 forget the definitions. 156 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.840 I think it's called cassium, a cassium caesium something like that. 157 00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.960 Like you could look it up and you'd find the information. 158 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.360 But you know, I'll get I'll get my crack staff 159 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:45.679 on that. 160 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.960 I'm sure. There's so much more too, you know, like 161 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.240 and it's not just it's not just the food, it's 162 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.080 also the food colorings are in the lotions. You know, 163 00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:02.360 we we try to go natural all across the bowld everything, 164 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.000 you know, medications, we're aware, like you know, they can 165 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.519 use vegetable coloring for the food coloring if you need to, 166 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.000 you know, decorate a cake or whatever. You need food 167 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:15.200 coloring for whatever you need it for. So there's definitely 168 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.080 ways to do it. It's just costs more money, but 169 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.759 I think people will be willing to pay a little 170 00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.000 more for health. And you know, I think he makes 171 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.360 a lot of good points too about you know, the 172 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.360 differences between Europe and America this disease. 173 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:32.200 Yeah, I mean the statistics, which I haven't read tonight, 174 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:36.320 are astonishing. I mean, you know, I believe it, and 175 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.960 we've all seen I believe we all know these numbers. 176 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.440 And you know, look, as I say, I'm on the 177 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.000 wrong side of fifty I'm sure that I grew up. 178 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.919 I know that right now. I've improved my I'm with you. 179 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.240 Yeah right, I'm on the other side of fifty two. 180 00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:57.720 And I grew We grew up on kool Aid. My 181 00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.039 mother told me that with juice. Yeah, I mean I had. 182 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:03.080 At all. 183 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.840 Yeah, No, I wasn't much on kool Aid, to be 184 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:08.519 honest with you, But I'll tell you this. I now 185 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:13.279 drink more water. I'm on the Awaken one Eddie diet. 186 00:11:13.399 --> 00:11:17.240 I lost thirty five pounds, did it naturally. There was 187 00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.759 no pills involved. I did it naturally through exercise and 188 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:23.200 learning how to eat. And I've kept it off for 189 00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.440 ten years. I got to tell you, I don't know 190 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.159 if I would be alive today if I had not 191 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.080 lost thirty five pounds with Awake on one Eddie. 192 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.159 And I don't need to be killed great too, well, 193 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:35.919 I mean Jim. 194 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:40.840 You know, I lived weights, you know. Now, look, I 195 00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:42.799 played a lot of sports as a kid. I ran 196 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.360 a lot in my twenties and thirties, ran the roads. 197 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.919 And then what happened. You know, kids came along, they 198 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.120 got involved in sports. Now you're a spectator. You're driving 199 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.799 them from hockey rink to hockey rink, or softball field 200 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.840 to softball field. Uh and what are you doing? You're 201 00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.440 you're at the hockey rink and you're starving. You grab 202 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.960 a pepsi and a piece of slice, a piece or 203 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.720 two slices of yeah, you know, and then all of 204 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.399 a sudden you look in the mirror and say, wait 205 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.039 a sec, what happened to me? But part of that 206 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:15.159 also is the stuff we're talking about here. So look, 207 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:17.759 I'm delighted that you called, and I'm delighted that you 208 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:23.039 don't like Trump, but you're you're you have enough integrity 209 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.360 to acknowledge that this might not have happened. Look, Joe 210 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.360 Biden had four years of this. I think that the 211 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.919 Biden administration did, to their credit eliminate one of these dies. 212 00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.840 But one let me just make let me make sure 213 00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:44.799 under the Biden administration, let me give him credit. Under 214 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:49.840 the Biden administration, the FDA has already mandated that by 215 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:52.600 January fifteen, two thousand and seven, a being on red 216 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.639 dye number three found in candy, desserts and some medications. 217 00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:58.759 So we'll give Biden credit for that. But the Trump 218 00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:05.080 team has eliminated a promise to eliminate eight blue one 219 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.000 and two, green three, red dye, forty yellow numbers five 220 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:18.120 and six, and citrus red number two. So thanks exactly 221 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.840 the caller I'm looking for tonight because guess what, you're 222 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.919 an open minded person who's willing to say, Hey, something 223 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.720 good was accomplished by an administration that you didn't vote 224 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:29.279 for and that you don't support. Uh, And I would hope. 225 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:33.360 That everything like that, you know, and we wouldn't have 226 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:34.639 half the problems we have. 227 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.360 Absolutely, this is one step, and. 228 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.200 I have to say something on that. Can I say 229 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.399 something on that note? Just something I was really disappointed 230 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.960 with this week the President his address on Easter to 231 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:54.159 the country was just her horrible, you know, we need 232 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:54.679 to do that. 233 00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.559 So much stuff out. I didn't see it. What did 234 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.120 he say that was that bothered you? 235 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.440 Oh my god, it was just insight. 236 00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:03.279 I didn't see it. So that I'm asking you out. 237 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.960 I'm asking you out of total ignorance. I'm not challenging. 238 00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:07.320 I just want to know what he said. 239 00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:12.720 It was a good long paragraph that was just horrible 240 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:17.360 insults at half of America if the liberal judges. And 241 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.000 then it was like in God bless, how do you 242 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:24.720 start it again? Yeah? I mean I could pull it up, 243 00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:26.240 but it would take a minute or two. 244 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.240 No problem. I'll take you tell like you tell a 245 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:32.840 somebody who's honest. And I appreciate Jen.

I think this is a great day. I 250 00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:48.080 don't want to over emphasize it, but as somebody who 251 00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.320 has a two and a half year old soon to 252 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.279 be three year old grandson, let's you know, I would 253 00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.360 hope that that this is going to make his life 254 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:02.679 better and and little kids who are coming along, even 255 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:06.080 those who haven't been born yet, that they will not 256 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.000 have to put up with some of this junk in 257 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.039 their food. Light these lines up, folks, this is one 258 00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:16.480 that we should celebrate. The big food companies have fooled 259 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:18.960 us for too long. Back on Night Side, the only 260 00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:19.840 line is six one. 261 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:27.799 Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio. 262 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:30.799 All right, let's go to the phone.

This red dye thing is too much. 266 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.279 Yeah. Absolutely, they fooled us for too long, you know, 267 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:48.320 and it's sort of something that none of us took seriously. Obviously. 268 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.320 Robert F. Kennedy Junr. Has been focused on this for 269 00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:55.360 a long time, and thank god that he has, because 270 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:58.320 he's he's prevailed on this and I know that that 271 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:00.600 a lot of people make fun of him. I don't 272 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.320 understand that, but that's okay. He was right in this 273 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:08.360 issue and we will be a healthier country as as 274 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.559 a result, in my opinion. 275 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:14.000 Right, you said you had an orange today. I had 276 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.080 two oranges today. Like orange. 277 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.039 I love an app I'm pretty simple.

And every once in a while, when 279 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.279 I see grapes purple or green grapes on sale, they 280 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.720 get really expensive this time of year. I love strawberries, 281 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.240 I love blueberries, I love fruit. To be honest with you, 282 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.039 and I'm a vegetable guy too. I mean it's you know, 283 00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.279 they're the best. They're the best for you. I wish 284 00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:43.759 I could function on just fruits and vegetables, but yeah, 285 00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.720 you gotta. I had a great dinner tonight.

Chicken with some brown rice. Yeah, 291 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.839 it's a little bit of bread. And I had my 292 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.160 best meal of the last two or three nights. To 293 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:12.960 be honest with you. 294 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.119 Yeah, to tell you the truth, I've been vegetarian for 295 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:17.400 fifty years. 296 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.839 Really, Now, when you say vegetarian, do you mean you've 297 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.240 never eaten meat in fifty years? 298 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:29.440 That's right?

I was reading 306 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:50.440 a sports Illustrate in nineteen seventy. That's when I stopped 307 00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:54.400 and there was an article on pro running backs and 308 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:59.000 track guys. Right, I played football, baseball and ran tracked. Anyhow, 309 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:05.720 the top guys like guys like the guys from Dallas 310 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.400 was again the big running. 311 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.720 Back from Dallas, Emmitt Smith. 312 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:16.759 Emitt Emmitt Smith. Anyhow, they stopped eating me because they 313 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:19.960 thought they were quicker off the mock. That's why he's 314 00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:25.440 basically stopped anyhow, And I eat a lot of cereal. 315 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:28.920 You know, this is a very educational show to night. 316 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:32.720 I didn't know half this stuff. But I'm a big 317 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:38.359 mashed potato man. Vegetables and vegetables fruit. I don't eat 318 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:39.920 no sugar to speak of. 319 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.160 Boy, I'll tell you that.

You got to be in great shape. 321 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:51.279 If you have done that, you must have kept your 322 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.079 weight down and all of that. And you know how 323 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:56.759 old were you in nineteen seventy How when you made 324 00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.160 this decision?

Look, 344 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.880 if if you're I don't want to politicize this, but 345 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:08.039 you've got to give Donald Trump's administration credit for taking 346 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.240 on These are big cereal companies that use a lot 347 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.839 of this die stuff. Okay, if you know, you know, 348 00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.720 I learned a lot about it today. You know, We've talked 349 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:22.119 about it, But why do you need phony colors in 350 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.039 your foods? You either like the taste of the food 351 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:28.880 or you don't. The color doesn't give it any taste. 352 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:34.200 The color only psychologically plays with your brain. Six one, seven, two, five, four, 353 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.799 ten thirty or six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. 354 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.599 I think this is such an important story, and I'm 355 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:46.519 surprised don't disappoint me. This is one that I don't 356 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:53.279 care if you're a Democrat or Republican, conservative, liberal, progressive, libertarian, independent, unenrolled, 357 00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:57.160 or whatever. This is a victory for everyone, and it's 358 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:01.279 particularly a victory for young people who have kids, or 359 00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:04.079 from those of us who might have a grandchild or two. 360 00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:09.960 This is this is a day that should be celebrated. 361 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:13.759 And I hope you agree with me, and if you don't, 362 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.359 I'm disappointed, to be honest with you. Back on Nightside, 363 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.000 light them up right back after this. 364 00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.960 You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z, 365 00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:27.640 Boston's news radio. 366 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.000 For those of you who have just joined us, we 367 00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:35.440 are talking about a development that has really taking place 368 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:39.200 in the last couple of days in which the Trump administration, 369 00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:42.160 in the person of Health and Human Services Secretary of 370 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:45.920 Robin F. Kennedy Junior, and the new FDA Commissioner Marty 371 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:52.240 McCarey have announced their decision to remove synthetic petroleum based 372 00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.519 food dies and replace them with natural food based dies. 373 00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.440 I don't even know why you need any dies at all. 374 00:22:01.480 --> 00:22:06.039 If there's a product that somehow someone mentioned earlier, I 375 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:09.200 guess it was. I think it was Sheldon from Sharon 376 00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:12.799 Last Hour said that they were using the red dye 377 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:20.599 to make Mascarino cherries look more red. I mean really, uh, 378 00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:24.400 and they're putting this garbage in our food and our food. 379 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.319 Next up is if you want to join us. You 380 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:29.519 know the numbers ted and mauled and ted. You were 381 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:31.720 next on Knights. I appreciate you holding through the news. 382 00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:33.599 Your next on nightside Ted, go right ahead. 383 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.279 Hey Dan A long time. 384 00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:37.319 I was a little out of pocket today and I 385 00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.960 knew that RFK would do this, But I'm so is this. 386 00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:46.599 I'm very cynical because I think the agriculture and the 387 00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:49.359 oil lobby and the big egg is going to come 388 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:52.279 after this. That's listen. I'm a little younger than you. 389 00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:53.480 Remember when we were a kid, you would have the 390 00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:56.880 sugar bowl on the table for breakfast, you push on 391 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:01.680 your that was, but it's it's like it's gone to 392 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:04.079 such a point. Do you ever think you're gonna eat 393 00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:06.480 something you get a different taste. About a year ago, 394 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:09.640 my daughter comes over the house and she's grown and 395 00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:12.680 she brings grapes. And I'm a gluten free diabetics. I 396 00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.559 really am kept with my diet like you. I lost 397 00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:18.880 fifty pounds years ago. I've kept it off. So I 398 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.599 go to eat this grape. It's a freaking cotton candy grape. 399 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.160 I spit it out. So what is this youse? It's 400 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:28.599 caught a grape. Shouldn't taste like cotton candy. And that's 401 00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:31.039
