go to lifelock.com today. welcome back, good morning, we're taking a closer look this weekend at food, what we eat and why we eat it. earlier this week we heard about a case of mad cow disease in california. t cow never made it in the food chain and there was no danger to the public. cases like this raise fears and awareness and can push people away from processed foods and more natural diet an organic foods. julie schaefer, founder of slow food atlanta, governor for the slow food usa. good morning. explain to me what slow food means. >> in a nutshell the opposite of fast food. food that is grown on a farm, a
3:16 am
small family farm, usually, and unprocessed, whole foods. and food that is grown in a manner that is good, clean and fair. good for the environment, good for the people who consume it, and good for the people who produce it, from the farmers to the pickers to the processers. >> so you brought what you have here these are some examples of slow food? >> these are some examples. >> what do we have? >> turnips, green garlic, local seasonal carrots, radishes, garlic scapes are wonderful this time of year, local strawberries, and local goat cheese and cabbage from my garden. >> from your garden, very nice. so you say that this type of food the regional local foods are safer than the factory farms? >> you mentioned the outbreak of mad cow disease that came to
3:17 am
light this week, this is an unfortunate consequence of large scale factory farming industrial factory farming, when the food system is more localized, there are food-borne illness outbreaks but they are easily and quickly traced back to the source. when it's a large operation it takes weeks, maybe months to track the source of the outbreak. >> so it's like getting maybe not from the backyard but closer to home, less risk. >> less risk. >> you say this is a good thing because it's preserving heritage. what are we talking about? >> about preserving the heritage and traditions of local place-based food systems. with the industrialization of food and globalization of food, we lost some things. when strawberries came in season when i was growing up, we ate them non-stop for three weeks,
3:18 am
cakes, pie, we made strawberry ice cream, preserves, and froze strawberries, and then somewhere along the line when the food system became globalized around the early 1980's, we got used to having them when we wanted them. >> all year around. >> all year around. >> you don't think it's a good idea? >> it's not a good idea. we're transporting food, when you consider the miles and carbon footprint foot it's not environmentally sustainable, loses flavor, nutritional value. we believe that a more local system of food production is the way to go and that is the way it used to be. >> i have to admit i would have to have my strawberries only three months out of the year. i get what you're saying. >> we're spoiled. >> absolutely. >> i suspect in five years we will be in a different place and i do believe in such a thing

call virtuous globalization. i think we can do that to a certain extent and do it sustainably. i'm proud to be working at emory university, an institution with whom this way of doing food is very important and we have a very ambitious goal of sourcing 75% of all our food served at the university and the hospitals, that is roughly 45,000 meals per day, locally sustainably by 2015, we're just about halfway there. >> impressive. >> we're basically having to recreate a local regional food system where there wasn't one in 40 years. >> i'll let you keep your strawberries. >> are you sure? i'll let you have them. thank you very much. >> my pleasure, thank you for having me. if you want more information about the slow food movement in your area, check out slowfood usa.org. coming up, more of our focus on food, do you know the difference between organic and certified organic?

3:33 am
are the voters? that is the question i asked our political dire political director, mark preston. >> we heard mitt romney talk like he's the presumptive nominee. hadn't spoken in that kind of tone, but he did on tuesday night when he swept the primaries including pennsylvania, another big thing happened the republican national committee decided to get behind him, randi and call hip the presumptive nominee, up until wednesday of this past week they had not done so. the third thing is newt gingrich deciding to get out. to your question are the voters behind him, the polls show in head-to-head match up, barack obama would win in november but i have to tell you the polls will tighten up. >> do you see newt gingrich playing a role in the romney campaign? >> he wants to be part of the
3:34 am
romney campaign. his campaign advisors will sit down with the romney advisors and figure out what role the former house speaker can play for mitt romney. this is where mitt romney could use newt gingrich. he's still very valued among elite republicans and republicans who have deep pockets, so newt gingrich could help mitt romney raise money and as you know and our viewers know, that is going to be a high hurdle right now for mitt romney against the huge obama money machine. another thing is newt gingrich could perhaps play in some districts that mitt romney hasn't done so well over the last primary season. he could probably do well some places in the south, where perhaps barack obama thinks he can win north carolina, could also help out in ohio. newt gingrich has a role to play, from all indications he wants to play. >> the question is what role does rick santorum play? he's out of this and at one
3:35 am
point he said he would rather see barack obama reelected than have mitt romney in the white house. can we expect any type of endorsement? >> he will meet face-to-face with mitt romney this week they'll have a discussion what role he can play in the campaign. he had very harsh things to say about mitt romney over the primary season. he didn't want mitt romney to win the primary, he wanted to win. that is why we saw the jag ed language out of rick santorum. but rick santorum can really help mitt romney with the blue collar voters, we saw it throughout the republican primary. rick santorum won those voters and mitt romney lost those voters. rick santorum can help build bridges, the evangelical community who look at mitt romney scircumspect because of his religion.

>> joe biden is not exactly shy this week. >> he is a great asset for barack obama, in many ways because as i talked about what one of the weaknesses is for mitt romney, the collar voters, that too is barack obama. that is why joe biden was chosen to be barack obama's running mate in 2008, he can be very effective on the campaign trail. was effective this past week giving the foreign policy speech, went directly at mitt romney. barack obama has been campaigning but we do know this week he's officially, if you can put that in quote, going to kick off the campaign with a couple of events one in ohio, one in virginia. here we are. game on. >> i thought a lot of people thought he kick it off a long time ago. nice to see you.

chaifetz was diagnosed with autism, stu says his struggle isn't his condition, but bullying by staff trusted to care for him. he documented it in a public way on line hoping other children won't suffer the same cruelty. chaifetz says problems started when he was told his son had punched a teacher an aide. >> i've never seen him hit anybody, that didn't make sense. >> reporter: frustrated by lack of answers, he put a recording device in his son's pocket. horrified to hear what was on it. >> oh, boy, knock it off. >> go ahead and scream because guess what? you're going to get nothing until your mouth is shut. shut your mouth. >> more than six hours were recorded. chaifetz says the toughest part was listening to akian ask if he could see his father. >> my son when he transitions back, he lives with me full-time, he has a little natural anxiety, he says may i

chaife chaifetz, i want to ask how is your son doing? >> once he was removed from that staff, he reverted back to who he always was. there have been no incidents since then, he's a joy and i was sit hearing before just thinking of him and smiling. he's such a happy kid. then i heard the video and got as angry as the first time i heard it and my heart broke again. >> what do you feel when you listen to that? that is just outrageous, if that is going on in that classroom. >> you know, as a father and for any parent when you hear your child in distress and you can't be there to protect them, it's the worst feeling in the world. one of the reasons why i went forward was to one day show him that people care that what they did to him was wrong. in addition to hopefully reaching out and showing what an epidemic bullying is.
3:47 am
what was he is speespecially vie children had verbal impairments, none could tell their parents. they -- the staff ran wild, venting on these children, which to me is the ultimate act of a coward when you pick on someone who can't fight back, but can't talk back. and my son did learn to fight back and he was really a message to me saying help, it was a cry for help. >> how did you know something was up, what made you wire up your son, what were you hoping to learn? when we started getting notes back he was hitting the teacher and the aide, that to me, that showed something was wrong because he's a gentle, loving human being. and we had meetings with the school, they brought behaviorist, never saw anything. tried to aggravate a kid point he would lash out and didn't. once that happened i knew there was something going on in that
3:48 am
class that was specifically setting him off, and i said the only way to find out was because he couldn't talk to me, was to put an audio recorder in his pocket. thank god i did, otherwise he would still be there today, still probably being tormented. >> as you know, stuart, the teacher in the case denies being in class and making those comments, i want you to hear what her lawyer told cnn. >> what we want to respond to i went through every allegation made against my client, went through the youtube video, identified each instance which the father of the student placed on the screen what he thought were the trans scribed words and one by one we are addressing each of those. the board of education details after they determined the people that said the words were no longer employed by the board. the attacks on my chi client continued after that. those words were not her's, the

called my son a bastard i couldn't say 100% who it was. since they went public with this, i held on to one clip, which i did not include anywhere publicly i'll be releasing this early next week, where the teacher was directly involved in what i call bullying of my son, and i'm going to release that along with more unreleased audio, showing what else was going on in there. >> can you give us a hint what she said or what she allegedly said? >> it was involving a situation where my son was reading, he innocently put his finger in the nose, he was yelled at by the aide, the teacher said he was gross, and was humiliated in front of the whole class. he got very upset. if they want to take me on and make it that i was putting out something false, i didn't put out anything that i believed was false and now i'll release this

audio next week, i may be having a press conference with additional things, i'm kind of handling this by myself i'm trying to manage as best i can. there were other statements she made during the day that i think people need to know. she is no innocent person in this that was her class, she was the ceo, she, i believe, is responsible. when you hear some of the other things she said i think it will cause an outrage. >> how do you plan to prove, will you get a expert? how will you prove it? >> someone calls her kelly, then she talked about something that i have from a previous audio where you can identify her. right in the middle of this incident you hear someone call kelly, and i would like to see -- i'll put it out to her and her lawyer, see if you can deny this was her. >> i want to play another clip
