One generation earlier, not a state in the nation was yellow or light orange or dark orange. Not any state, louisiana, mississippi, alabama, texas was more than 14 to bees. Now obese. Now were looking at obesity rates higher than 30 in one generation. So whats happened is that this one in six that are food insecure for the first time in human history, hunger and obesity coexist in the same community and same person. Be so if youre going to solve a problem, you better know what the problem is. And the problem, it turns out, for many of the food insecure, the majority, 61 at least, is affordable nutrition. Thats what were talking about, getting them fruits, vegetables, dairy, protein compared with, you know, empty calories, fast food, junk food, etc. Now, i also stole this slide. I was on a panel for partnership for healthier america last year in, down in d. C. , and the gentleman who runs the largest cooperative of Food Service Groups in the United States, a 25 30 billion business, he h
Between canada and the European Union which gives corporations from the other countries the right to sue your government if they dont like what youre doing. And so these companies if ttip is signed between europe and the United States, any municipality in the United States that privatizes their water, well, they have a very hard time changing their minds because these companies can sue for compensation. Its called investor state. So anyone who wants to learn more about that, please, please go to Public Citizen trade campaign. And i have a whole bunch of stuff in my book on the implications of these trade agreements on the right to go back to a public system once its been privatized. So its another ongoing struggle. And i dont have a crystal ball to see where it will come out, but common sense tells people its better to keep democratic control. Water is needed for life, we better keep democratic control of it at all times. And well make this the last question. Good evening. Im wondering
But its the side streets that are the problem areas. Theres a lot of slushy snow that pulls your tires in different directions. Were about to hop onto i25 to show you what were about. About seeing there. Conditions already improving hopping onto the onramp. And most of i25 is pretty dry. It is wet in spots, and the further south you travel, were travelling north, the further south you go, conditions get a little worse. But just really answer some slush on the roadways. So just take it slow if youre headed out and watch for the slick spots on bridges and overpasses. Back to you. Certainly a concern with the temps dipping tonight. Thanks, molly. And denver 7 was on the tarmac this morning as dia worked hard year as they should air as they could. Travel was much easier today. 146 flights were canceled. 300 were delayed.

Absolutely agree with, regime a leave have cloister groups of people around them. That was absolutely true of the white house. Many of them knew far more about iraq than anyone in the white house. There you go. I think that on the question of what was there, one thing we knew was true was received stock for biological weapons had been sent to iraq in the 1980s, we knew that because they came from the United States. Not clandestinely, but officially. They came from the american type culture collection. We all have the documents.

Was supporting both sides, kind of hoping both sides would kill off young soldiers and destroy resources, we weighed more on the iraqi side because they were the weaker side. The point about the destruction of how bad things were. There was tons of information out t
