ure to have you. thank you so much. >> great to be with you. thanks. >> and that is the end of our show for today. thanks for joining us. to see my interview with president barack obama from new delhi. i will see you next week. president barack obama from new delhi. i will see you next week. xxxx good morning, hopeful news for free dopp of the press. after 400 days locked up in egyptian jail al jazeera correspondent is a free man. tells cnn president al sisi approved deportation and he left two hours ago and landed in cypress just a few minutes ago. he was detained in december 2013 with mohammed familiari and byron mohammed on charges of

conspiring, allegations strongly denied of the other two journalists are still behind bars and there's conflicting information about their status right now. the head of al jazeera is standing by live in cutr. first let's go to our correspondent in cairo standing by with the latest on this. what do we know about what happened and why this happened now? >> this was a very quick release release. a deportation taking place, he was put on a plane to leave egypt. we talked to his lawyer and was very careful in the words he chose. this was an extradition. he would be sent to australia and there up to australian officials to proceed with the case or not.

he said this is according to an egyptian law. this is not a pardon not a deportation but, in fact an extradition. as you know it's highly unlikely australian officials would move forward with this case. this is a way for the egyptian physicians to save face that their due process went forward. i've been in contact with the family members. there's a lot of mixed emotion there. they are very excited peter has been released. now they are worried about their loved ones. does this signal they have been released? we haven't heard more fwout that. mohammed fahmy does hold dual egyptian over the other holds egyptian citizenship. his family is afraid the other two journal is could be released but he would remain behind bars. >> mentioned fahmy, he used to

work with us at cnn. we've covered this for a year. we described it on the air as these men's being pawns in geopolitical dissput. can you explain what the dispute seems to be? >> it seems to be one between cutr and egypt. no love losts between the gchlts cutr supporting muslim brokered outlawed in egypt and the president mohammed morse issuing, democratic elected president before a popular coup ousted him. there has been a lot of tensions between egypt now ruled by al sisi a man who comes from the military ousted morsi and cutr and backed former president. talking to family members and at

times they felt they were pawns there was never any hard credible evidence that tied them to charges. at times star witnesses of the prosecution would contradibt themselves. so when they were found guilty it was a surprise and shock for a lot of us. >> thank you very much for being with us. when we spoke with peter's parents, they said it would not be accurate to describe their son as a political prisoner. they must be so reliefved to hear this this morning. al you've been waiting for this day day. you've been waiting for this day for days. what did you feel when you first heard he was coming home. >> it's been remarkable. peter made contact saying he was leaving egypt.

today full of emotions. we are immensely, immensely reloefd as peter's family will be that he's now out of detention, on his way home to be reunited with his family. i would like to take this opportunity to pay immense tribute to peter and all sentenced in absentia for their great strength and resilience dealing with this terrible ordeal. also it's ironic today. there is no celebration in the release of innocent people. peter and baher and mohammed guilty of carrying out all sides of the story, carrying everything that was going on in egypt and broadcast thanksgiving as transparently and factually as they can to our viewers. no celebration but immense relief. the one thing i would like to focus on today is that baher and mohammed 400 days on are still

in detention and our other seven colleagues and friends sentenced to 10 years in absentia are still sentenced. the support and solidarity worldwide, from media in all corners of the globe, from politicians and diplomats in all corners of the globe and hundreds of thousands of people right across the world has been immense throughout the 400 days saying enough is enough and this has got to be brought to an end. we really hugely appreciate that support and solidarity. but in so many respects that message needs to continue and the injustice and stand up for journalists in all corners of the globe in order to do to that. >> to give support you're describing cnn and bbc, usually competitors of al jazeera helped

you report where you are your own staff. tell me about the status of the other two men. have you heard anything today about whether their return home was also imminent? >> first, i have to say we and peter and baher and mohammed are grateful. we're healthy competitors, al jazeera and cnn and bbc yet that has been demonstrated very clearly and it's very, very much appreciated. the situation for our other two friends and colleagues and the other seven sentenced in absentia is unclear. there's lots of rumors about whether there could be deportation, amnesty and end to this. obviously hoping to get a date for retrial on january 1st was called and everyone hoped it would be called in short order and now this would all be over. i think we need to focus on the fact two wonderful journalist

seven others sentenced in absentia again, guilty of nothing other than being great journalists and demonstrating for all to see across al jazeera, english television and all of our platforms. it's very unclear what's happening to baher and what's happening for mohamed. but we just need to bring this injustice to an end and to get them out. >> do you agree with what others have said they are pawns in this geopolitical dispute between qatar and egypt? >> i think in a way what happened was a clear message to journalists, three guys obviously but journalists covering egypt to say, look if you cover all sides of the story and carry out great journalism beware. i think in a way that was the main message that was what yielded the beginning of this story 400 days ago, 400 days ago. i think that was the clear message.

there's lots of discussion about bilateral bilaterals that was the rest. it's not just to al jazeera but journal ises across the board in egypt and other countries around the world, which is good journalism meaning covering all sides of the story. good journalism means digging for the facts and showing the facts to viewers right around the globe. in some parts of the world, that's counter perhaps to the narrative that governments or authorities want to be told. i think that was the message here. >> what will you say to peter when you see him. >> how fantastically relieved i am to see him. i will ask him how he is. when we spoke to him early on he sounded strong. he sounded immensely relieved perhaps not celebratory but immensely relieved. so we'll give him a very, very warm hello and very relieved to have him back. we'll ask him how he is.

i know when he said this that he is also deeply concerned for ba har her and mohamed and other journalists he has had to endure for 400 days. >> i imagine after a period of rest he'll be looking forward to get back to work, reporting, what he hasn't been able to do for 400 days. al thank you for being here. >> thank you, brian. >> we will stay on top of this story and give you any new developments we get during this hour and throughout the day here on cnn. we're going to take a quick break here and get to some rather unfortunate news in the world of journalism. as we're talking about right here journalists are targets and in danger around the world. we were reminded of that again this weekend with the isis beheading of a japanese journalist. we're talking about that and the very definition of the word terrorism right after this.

peter greste is good news in the middle east. we will stay on that story all day on cnn. on saturday we were all reminded again about the dangers of reporting in the region when this news broke. another journalist apparently murdered in cold blood by isis. the man you see in this image is 47-year-old kenji goto of japan, a veteran war reporter of he was kidnapped in syria last october. isis brutally murder add number of other hostages over the past

year. you hopefully know their names, american journalist is. what has happened to these journalists is gruesome despicable but would you call the killers islamist terrorists? it's not necessarily that simple an answer. the white house and press don't like to use those terms and makes some republicans livid. in an interview that just interviewed last hour on cnn fareed zakaria pushed president obama on the issue. watch. >> others say that the white house takes pains to avoid using the term "islamic terrorists." so my question to you is are we in a war with radical islam? >> i don't quibble with labels. i think we all recognize this is a particular problem that has roots in muslim communities. but i think we do ourselves a

disservice in this fight if we are not taking into account the fact that the overwhelming majority of muslims reject this ideology. >> that's the president's take and it's not just the president. we've seen discussions about word choice at major media outlets recently. a leaked memo from al jazeera revealed strict guidelines when it comes to reporting on the word. here is al jazeera english, terrorism/terrorists. one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. we will not use these terms unless attributed to a source or person. language matters, words matter. here is the question is refusing to use the t word terrorists bringing nuance to a political issue. let's ask political commentator in washington and former journalist adjunct professor at columbia university. thank you both for being here. >> sure. >> do you see a connection

between what you heard from president obama in that sound bite and a statement from a memo in a network like al jazeera, do you see a familiar thinking or similar ideology? >> these contortions to avoid reality are really motivated by a number of things. there is a desire not to offend. and there seems to be a belief if we don't name the thing, the thing doesn't quite exist. obviously that's not reality. the white house, this administration has not only gone to painstaking contortions to avoid calling groups terrorists or using the words "islamic extremism" or radical islam, it is also obama has time an time again gotten over his skis when it comes to foreign policy saying isis is al qaeda's jv team al qaeda is decimated, yemen is a success, there's a desire to downplay the threat of terrorism so it seems less of a

threat. matched with the desire not to name the thing and it becomes a really silly semantic exercise in political correctness that doesn't rid the word of terrorism. no positive outcomes have come from refusing to name the thing. >> i have to disagree with you. i don't think this is about contortions as much as an intent to be constructive rather than destructive in how we fight terrorism. i think this is an attempt to kind of reclaim islam, to not allow these terrorists to use islam and claim they are doing this in the name of islam. as we've seen many muslim leaders, many muslims around the world condemn these acts. as much as i understand why obama and the obama administration might be opening themselves up to criticism, i think this actually challenges what we've seen since 9/11.

the equation equating terrorism with islam. >> right. >> playing on fear. i think that for as much as we talk about this being semantics or this being silly, it's very serious. you know there's a miss misperception. most americans haven't met a muslim they rely on media, elected officials how to use the term what ne mean how to internalize it and perceive this threat to be. i want to make one point. people say obama is being silly, obama is underplaying the threat obama is being irresponsible. i think it's much more irresponsible when elected officials such as bobby jindal talk about an invasion muslim invasion that muslim immigration is an invasion these kinds of things that play into the hand of these extremists who want to portray this as a clash between east and west. >> let me just respond to that because i think you make some good points. however, i think there's also a straw man here.

no one is saying we're at war with islam. the word is "islamic extremism." so that caveat is built into the language or radical islam. the point is the white house is not islam's pr shop. it's moderate muslims that are going to do the best work in communicating just the kinds of distinctions important distinctions that you're making. >> i completely agree. >> the united states's job is to name our enemies clearly so our allies overseas and men and women fighting overseas know who they are. >> very quickly. you bring up our allies overseas in order to keep our allies on board, in order to help fight this fight, in order to challenge and confront these terrorists where they are committing the biggest atrocities which is in the muslim world and muslims are the biggest victims, we need to be responsible and we need to be accurate as the white house said. i agree, when you use the term "radical islam" it's different from islam. you've seen "american sniper,"

popular culture and media internalizing patriot act and language around, that i think theres a danger whether intentionally or not, whether something the media is knowingly doing, continues to perpetuate this idea muslims are to be feared beyond just radical sloms. i think we need to be mindful of the tactics the white house is deploying. >> from politics to media. i was struck by politics in "the independent." talking about this phrase. let me read the quote that stood out the most. the threat from groups like these seems less monstrous, more manageable. went on to say we don't report on murderers as avengers even though it might have guided their hand? why, groups terror including that in their title. ahmed the language we use overin

flats the threat a country like the united states faces from terrorism? >> absolutely. it's hard to be definitive about it but there's a statistic put out widely discussed by new american foundation that found right wing extremists actually have killed more americans since 9/11 than muslim extremists. i bring that up because in light of what happened in paris a few weeks ago we saw euro poll come out with a statistic that only 2% of terrorist attacks in europe in the last five years have been committed by muslims. so there is a distortion whether intentional or not by the media, by western governments in terms of how muslims are portrayed, how this threat is portrayed. i think that that's why using -- exercising kind of responsibility exercising caution is something that i think is only going to serve us well. >> i wonder what's worse, to overinflate the threat or downplay the threat too much. i personally feel we need to adjust our sense of how

important terrorism is as a threat to the country versus all the other concerns and threats united states faces. s.e. i hear you jumping in. >> i heard president obama mention in the interview with fareed zakaria. we don't want to overinflate or give credence. hillary clinton decided not to put boko haram on the terror list for that reason. as we know it did nothing to stop the reign of terror. these semantic they are not unimportant but they are distractions. we need to face reality and name things for what they are of that's important. there's power in naming things. >> s.e. and ahmed, thank for being here. great discussion this morning. >> thanks. >> when we come back shifting gears. a wild story to tell you about. we're going to unravel mystery behind lost footage of super bowl i. we're going to talk to someone who has a tape and one that was there next. to think of myself as more of a control... enthusiast.

mmm, a perfect 177-degrees. and that's why this road warrior rents from national. i can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. and i don't have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. and i don't. and national lets me choose any car in the aisle. control. it's so, what's the word?... sexy. go national. go like a pro.

we are exactly seven hours away to super bowl kickoff time when most of us will stop whatever we're doing and tune in for the patriots seahawks and, of course the ads. i want to tell you bought a super bowl mystery, one that stretches back 48 years, back to the very first super bowl. it was in 1967. two networks actually showed the game that year nbc and cbs. but neither of them have the footage. it's as if super bowl i has disappeared. jack whittaker was the play by play man for cbs and he's never seen the broadcast. his story coming up in a few minutes. first let me show you the few snippets of video that do exist. this is from two film reels containing part of the historic broadcast. they were found buried away in an attic in pennsylvania. we don't know who found them. the man is anonymous.

has he the holy grail of footage and almost nobody has seen it. what is the holdup? let's bring in stephen harwood. his client has the recording. mr. harwood, thanks for being here. >> good morning, brian, how are you? >> this is an amazing story. how does your client discover the tape? >> well what happened in 1967 nobody at home really had the facilities or the technology to record games. but the father of my client worked for a company that did have the equipment and went on sun 1967 when the game was played and recorded the game on two inch qadryuad ra plex tapes. after the game took two reels, put them in his attic where they laid dormant for 32 years. >> now one tape is in possession of a museum and organization about the history of television. i talked to the curator there, ron simon.

he says he's wondering has there been any progress. now the issue is you're talking to the nfl trying to get a deal done so this tape can be seen publicly. right? >> that is correct. we have certainly kept our lines of communication open with the nfl. we've offered to meet with them. it's certainly our desire that the nfl get possession of what's on the tape. we think given that the super bowl l is coming up next year looking back at super bowl i would make an exciting time to revisit what happened in january 1967. >> i talked to ron this morning. he said the tape is in a vault. you know i'm not even able to go see it in person. he would have to get your permission. what's your client want? is it a matter of the amount of money that's at issue here? >> i think money is certainly an issue. we believe that it has some value to it.

back in 2005 "sports illustrated" put a value on this tape of in excess of $1 million. to put that in perspective, $1 million is the equivalent of about seven seconds of commercial air time on today's game. so i think that there's value on the tape. i think it would be important for the sports community to see this footage, and we think that the nfl is in the best position to commercially exploit and show what's on the tape. we are most interested in getting it into the hands of the nfl and then to the hand of the consumer and the sports community and we feel being compensated for preserving it for all these years is certainly a reasonable thing to do. >> all right. i hope a deal gets done. steve harwood, thanks for being here. >> you're quite welcome. thank you, brian. >> i mentioned jack whittaker,

he's a legend among sporting announcers. he's been at all great events. he was there on the sidelines for super bowl i calling the plays for cbs. jack that thinks so much for joining me? >> you're quite welcome. welcome to super bowl weekend. >> that's right. we're less than eight hours away at this point. when you were on the sidelines that day, did you ever expect super bowl to become what it is today? we're expecting 110 million people to be tuning in tonight? >> no. we thought it was going to be a very important game the cap of the season to crown a real champion. we never dreamed it would turn into what it has today, which is just a big social event. >> right. as much for the ads as the game itself. >> that's it. i think it could really describe the super bowl today as being too exhausted teams playing second fiddle to the halftime

show and the tv commercials. >> so it's been so many years now. do you have any recording, any record of that first broadcast? >> no. no, i don't. nothing at all. all i have is what's in my memory. >> there's no real tape that can be watched, none that anybody has, except for one private owner who is anonymous. that is wild to me. how could that have happened? >> well i don't know. we didn't have much people who were interested in the history of our industry in those days. we lost a lot of important tapes and recordings of important events. i think that's been corrected now, thank goodness. >> for you as the broadcaster, what was the scariest moment of the game? >> well for me it was the beginning of the second half. ray scott did the play by play on the first half and i did the second half. so the second half kickoff goes the ball gets into the end zone.

all of a sudden the whistles blow and play stops. i look down there's no flag. i can't see anything. i looked over to frank gifford, he gave me his, i don't know. what it was, nbc was still in commercial and they missed the kickoff because they did the kickoff a second time. >> that's one of the strange things about the super bowl both nbc and cbs televised it. how did that come about? >> well nbc had televised the afl games and cbs had done nfl games, so who was going to do the super bowl. pete rozell in his infinite wisdom said both networks will do them. >> you were on cbs with frank gifford. you were doing the cbs broadcast. there was a pretty wild rivalry between nbc and cbs's teams, right? >> yes. that got as much print as the two teams did leading up to the

game. that was the beginning of a part of the super bowl. there's always a back story that's almost as big as the game. >> so what do you remember about the telecast? where were you in the stadium? what was it like to be broadcasting to so many people? >> it was kind of scary, yes. it always is. you have to be a little scared to be any good. and i think after the -- that incident and the beginning of the second half things calmed down for me and we were okay. >> do you think over time over the decades journalists have changed the way they cover sports in an important way? you worked for both abc news and abc sports in the 1980s. have you seen a real change in how journalists approached this topic? >> yes. i think so. again, i think it's because of the culture change.

some people ask questions that we would never ask. let me put it this way, they ask questions in a manner in which we would never ask a question. >> tell me what you mean. what's the difference? >> well they just get right down to it and just kind of rude sometimes. no it's good journalism to ask tough questions but there's a good way to ask a tough question. >> when you see a scandal or perceived scandal like deflategate do you roll your eyes at that or is it a good story? >> well you're support to report what's happening. sometimes they overdo it like this inflation story has been overdone. but i think generally they do a better job today than we did back then. >> you covered so many different sporting events where does the super bowl rank for you? >> it's important because -- belmont was just as important.

many other things i've done over the years. certainly the other super bowls i did, i did about 12 of them i guess. none of them measure up. the first one does because it was the first. >> jack whittaker, thanks so much for being here. great talking with you. >> thank you very much. it was great talking to you. brought back a lot of memories. >> the center which restored the mystery tape said it would love to arrange for jack to watch it. just need steve harwood's permission. we'll see what we can do get them together. >> the two most important names in politics. fox news next. when it sold for a record price of just under $30 million. and now, another mercedes-benz makes history selling at just over $30,000.

welcome back. we're going to call the fox news primary.

will those two guys fox president and murdoch be picking your next president? it may sound ridiculous like some liberal conspiracy theory. "new york times" reported this week on murdoch's dislike for mitt romney. as we all know purely coincidentally that mitt romney is not going to be running for president in 2016. let's dig deeper daily caller gabriel sherman, new york magazine author of loudest voice in the room a book about them. thanks for being here. we're scratching the surface on the power of roger ailes. >> he controls the larnest bloc of republican voters.

>> by kols. >> they watch fox news come out in large numbers on primary day. candidates are kissing the ring. according to my sources rick perry came to new york before iowa for the freedom support to meet roger ailes and kiss the ring. courting the good size getting reliable coverage. >> what i'm saying these candidates also go and visit other network executives media executives what's different about fox. >> fox controls this audience. if you want to be a republican front-runner you've got to get prime spots on fox. you've got to get prime bookings. ailes is that ring you need to kiss. >> matt have you sensed the same thing, have you sensed it's make or break for candidates whether they have support of fox bosses? >> i don't think that's correct. i think bosses are important because they created a network that is by far the most watched network, cable news network in america and especially among grassroots conservatives who

vote in primaries. but in terms of them having a conspiracy to help boost one candidate or another, look if they had their way, the republican party would be pro immigration reform party right now. so i think the notion that they can from on high wrap their arm around somebody like chris christie i don't buy that. i think, look if you were to poll bret baier and brit human, chris wallace, sean hannity, you would probably get them picking different candidates they favor. i don't buy they are going to boost any one person. i do think it will be fought on fox news but for different reasons. >> let me talk about sarah palin for a moment. matt you wrote a column suggesting some regret for previously supporting with her, boosting her. here is what you wrote in your climb, probably time to concede early critics of sarah palin had a point, shouldn't have been tarred and feathered and percentaged from the conservative movement. as far as i can tell matt

palin is still a fox news contributor. typically you see if a candidate takes serious steps towards becoming serious candidate they leave fox, that's what huckabee has done and carson has done. will you take palin seriously again if she decides to leave fox news to mount a candidacy. >> that would be a good start. i think more likely she's teasing us. she's flirting with the idea of running again to sort of keep her name out there. remember a few years ago she led the media on a wild goose chase where half the press was following her bus caravan around the country. of course she did not end up running. but i think one big thing has happened in recent years. that's this rise of new crop of conservative stars. when sarah palin burst onto the scene in 2008 as this fresh face with all this charisma and talent nobody knew who ted cruz marco rubio, entire group of

conservatives have risen since palin. she helped them by the way. some conservatives are saying sarah palin, let's move on focus on scott walker or somebody else. >> i'm running out of time. what are you going to watch in the next step of this fox news primary. >> without question fox is a powerful voice but it actually was damaging to the party in a general election climate. >> that's what you suggested in your book. >> for 2016 i want to see can this message fox promotes during the primary go to broader audience that's what they need. >> thank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> in a moment an exclusive look at the sexy side of silicon valley where workers are hacking their own bodies to get ahead. i'll explain what i mean when we come back. ugh... ...heartburn. did someone say burn? try alka seltzer reliefchews. they work just as fast and are proven to taste better than tums smoothies assorted fruit. mmm... amazing. yeah, i get that a lot. alka seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

welcome back to "reliable sources." we think of new york and hollywood as being media capitals but it is also silicon valley where the future of media is being made. think facebook think twitter, think youtube. some of the world's most brilliant entrepreneurs are there. if you think their heads are buried in books all day, think again. there is a whole new look to silicon valley that may surprise you involving drugs, swinger parties, raves and more. we pulled back the curtain on community for a new series called "sex drugs and silicon

valley." i just had to show you this report. >> reporter: part of success in silicon valley is dependent on flexing one of the biggest muscles you have -- your brain. how well can you focus. can you stay up all night and code. but, the other part of success is creativity. the ability to think outside the box to have the breakthrough moment a moment that could turn your millions into billions. >> the billionaires i know almost without exception use hallucinogenics on a regular basis. >> reporter: tim valley is an invird he is an entrepreneur and he wrote the book about optimizing your time. his insights have developed a cult like following. the creativity comes from drugs. >> the people i know who are trying to be very disruptive and look at the problems in the world that exist and ask completely new questions. so they might look at something that's for hundreds of years and see something completely different. it was actually at a science fiction convention with a bunch

of friends and the grateful dead "truckin'" came on the radio. my girlfriend and i at the time had this revolution oh that's why people listen to the grateful dead on lsd. >> reporter: it was the fourth of july in 1980 when kevin herbert first tried psychedelics. he currently works as an engineer for cisco. how high would you say is the premium on kreecreativity in silicon valley? >> everything we do requires creative solutions. lsd kind of fits into that because you get the sort of magical breakthrough. i would be at a grateful dead show high on lsd hearing drums. then something about my work would just come to me. i had been working on a problem for over a month. all this hard core debugging. i took lsd. i just realized -- wait. the problem isn't a software problem at all. i come back to work the next day, tell my manager, i had an

epiphany. he laughed, said oh great show. >> reporter: there is actually scientific proof that lsd can do just that. one study founded by the u.s. government in the '60s took a group of scientists and sent them out to solve 48 physics, math and architectural problems. problems that the scientists themselves had been unable to solve. each scientist was guided through a psychedelic trip. at the end of which, 44 of the 48 problems had found solutions. >> i moved here to work in the apple garage building apple 1s. that was 1976. >> reporter: that's one of apple's first blow yiz, and before we all knew steve jobs as the creator of one of the most successful companies in the world, daniel knew him as the guy he used to trip with at college. >> you said steve said lsd was one of the best things he ever did. why was that? >> it expands your consciousness. it could have been mushrooms,

pay peote. any number of things. steve was not interested in smoking pot. that did not develop consciousness. >> reporter: people in the industry say there are more studies now than there have been in decades. >> we don't know as much about the human brain or body as we think we do. we're absolutely medieval. i think we'll look back in ten years at our behavior and it will look like bloodletting in the dark ages. >> lori fascinating piece. thanks for sharing it with us. these people are change being the definition of the work hacking. aren't they? >> yeah. we always think hack -- so many times people look at hacking as a terrible thing, someone breaking flu something. that definition is totally changing. i had a woman in a series telling me she was trying to hack love. the idea is instead one partner, she said i'd have multiple ones because if you look the formed la doesn't always work and she was very analytical about it. but a lot of these people the term hack when it comes to their

bodies their love life. >> you talk about bingeing for "house of cards" or netflix. >> first, this is a kind of series you would want to binge. we divide it into the swinger scene, psychedelics smart drugs. it is the kind of thing tu start watching and you want to keep watching. that's our theory let's put it online and let people watch all of these. we created a landing page. >> that's at cnnmoney.com. more "reliable sources" right after this quick break. stay with us. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.
