>> boy, we can't wait. she is awfully cute. hope you have a chance to see her. that's going to do it for me in d.c. thanks for watching. make it a great day, everybody. hello, i'm kelly wright. welcome to a brand-new hour of "america's news headquarters." >> i'm julie banderas sitting in for jamie colby today. a terror attack in the heart of afghanistan and two american civilians are dead. a live report from the region on the search for who is responsible. new questions about whether obamacare is needed. people who signed up for coverage already had it. major changes could be in

store for how the nsa collects the phone records of millions of americans. now the debate over government snooping rages anew. first a stunning new report finding obamacare falling short. one goal of the law is to expand health insurance to uninsured americans. a majority of the 2 million people who signed up for a plan were already covered. this raising serious questions about the effectiveness of the president's signature legislation. doug mccallway joins us live from washington with more. >> good afternoon. one of the major goals was to correct what many people felt was a great injustice in our society to provide health insurance to the 30 million or so who did not have it. "wall street journal" reports the law appears to be doing little to undo that. the "journal" reports only 11% of consumers who purchased new
10:02 am
coverage have been uninsured previously. that means the vast majority of americans who enrolled already had insurance. likely had their insurance policies canceled late last year as a result of the law's mandate that certain procedures be covered even if the insuree didn't want the coverage. doubters say they were misled. >> i think there was a credible argument that could be made prior to the enactment and the implementation of obama care that the american people don't know how bad it is, and therefore, you've got to let them see. american people now know how bad it is. >> john goodman of the national center for policy analysis says this should not come as a surprise. >> under obamacare, even if they do everything they hope they will do, the majority of uninsured will still be uninsured. there will be 30 million people without health insurance. that's part of the reform. >> as you pointed out, another

group that is not enrolling in numbers that were expected and is needed in order to avoid the so-called death spiral, younger, healthier people. new hhs numbers through december 28th show only 24% of enrollees were between ages of 18 and 34. one of the problems that led to the dirth that allowed people up to 26 years old stay on their parents' plan. it reduced the eligibility pool of young adults seeking their own policies. >> doug mckellway in new york. a fox news alert. an intense investigation is under way after a deadly bombing rocks a popular restaurant in kabul leaving 21 people dead including at least two american citizens. it happened late last night in an area of the capital popular with foreigners and affluent

aven afghanies that were considered safe. this is a shock to a lot of people living there. >> this is a big shot. attacks on so-called soft targets like restaurants are rare in afghanistan. the taliban mainly focusing on hard targets like military convoys and government buildings. friday night as people were sitting down to dinner at the taverer restaurant, a suicide bomber attacked the front door blowing himself up. several gunmen slipped in the back via a gate behind the building, shooting people at point blank once they were inside the building. u.s. officials confirming at least two americans are among the 21 killed last night. both the americans were employees of the american university of afghanistan. i'm told one of them just recently joined the faculty there. had only been in kabul for the past few days. their names have not officially been released as their families are waiting for notification. a spokesman for afghanistan's interior ministry says the
10:05 am
attack shows the taliban's true colors. >> there was no army in that restaurant. there was no police in that restaurant. this shows that they are the enemy of civilians and defenseless people. >> also among the dead are several afghan workers and four u.n. employees. the lebanese owner of the restaurant was also killed. he reportedly tried to battle some of the attackers with a gun he had in the restaurant. apparently did a lot to save some people, but still 21 people were killed. we are also hearing with the elections coming up in april for the presidential nomination and election there, there are concerns that these type of attacks will happen more and more. right now, the security situation is fragile there. with u.s. and international troops drawing down, it is likely to deteriorate even more. back to you, kelly. >> colin powell, we appreciate the report. things are sketchy there.
10:06 am
we have to continue to follow developments. thank you. thousands of evacuees from a southern wildfire are returning home. the massive fire that feasted on dry brush in the foot hills near los angeles reduced to smoke and scattered ashes. that's the good news. red flag warnings still remain in effect as the state struggles with record drought conditions. will carr is live in los angeles with more. >> there is a saying out west, water is the new gold. it is vital to so many economies. a lot of the crops that start in western states end up spreading and being sold across the country. yesterday california's governor declared a drought emergency. governor jerry brown says this is the worst drought in california's history. he is cutting red tape from people selling water to people
10:07 am
who want to buy it and urging californians to conserve water usage by 30%. >> there is not a government program in and of itself can compensate for the lack of rain. hopefully, it will rain eventually, but in the meantime, we have to do our part. make it easier to transfer water from one part of the state to the other. >> governor brown says this is a voluntary conservation at this point. he's also adding seasonal firefighters and this comes as a wildfire continues to burn in l.a. county. it's almost burned a half dozen homes and forced thousands to evacuate. 300 people are still under a mandatory evacuation because of the colby fire. right now it's 30% contained. firefighters say they are getting the upper hand on the colby fire. think about this. it's only january and if this is really a sign of what's to come, it could be a busy and destructive wildfire season in 2014. >> thank you, will carr.

from the extreme drought conditions in california that have been going on to a blast of wintry weather across the midwest bringing snow from minnesota to ohio and behind that a return of arctic air, the blast coming this way. will it bring the bone-chilling cold we saw just a few weeks ago? guess who is stand buying to let us know? meteorologist janice dean live in the fox extreme weather center. we are going to see another blast of arctic air. it's been ongoing. highs this saturday are around normal, a little below average across the midwest and the great lakes. watch what happens though as we go through sunday and monday. there we go. minus 1. that's an air temperature in fargo. that is your high on monday. 3 in marquette, 25 in chicago. you see what's coming the next
10:09 am
arctic blast. single digits in tuesday for chicago, marquette, much of the upper midwest across the great lakes. it's going to dive across the northeast. will it be as cold as what we saw a couple of weeks ago? not as cold, but it's still going to be significant with temperatures in the minus teens to minus 20s, to single digits here across the region heading into monday and tuesday. we'll watch this. certainly, it's going to make winter continue to drag on for a lot of you. especially chicago. snow today heading into wednesday, single digits and below zero in the overnight. we are going to continue to monitor this. the high pressure that's bringing those warm, blustery conditions across california is going to remain there for the next several days. then across the midwest, the great lakes, the northeast, we have this drop in the jet stream and these clipper systems that are going to drop a little bit of snow, maybe rain, but it's going to reenforce that cold air. the snow we are seeing flying
10:10 am
across chicago in towards buff loi interior northeast, maybe one to three inches. again, we'll see windy conditions and that could add blowing snow to your driving as well as perhaps airport delays over the next couple of days. nuisance snow. gusty winds and even some rain in these areas. that's just going to reenforce that arctic blast that is coming early next week. kelly, i know, it's just dragging on. >> i was just talking to julie. we decided we would take vacation and go to florida. everybody go to the south. >> he just basically revealed we weren't paying attention because we are chatting during your weather forecast. good one, kelly. >> no. julie, you're always attentive. >> we paid attention and got the message. it's cold. he wants to take me to florida. i'm all game. we'll tell our spouses we are going on a journey together. a 15-year manhunt comes to an end when this fugitive is now behind bars. whathe is accused of and how he

time for a quick check of your headlines. an oregon man suspected of faking his death in a fishing accident 15 years ago in order to avoid child sex abuse charges is now under arrest. 55-year-old daniel clement chafe was taken into custody in montana where he had been living under a different name and identity. florida law makers plan to introduce a new bill that would make bullying illegal in the sunshine state. it would make bullying a first degree misdemeanor and possibly a felony if police find enough evidence of a real threat. president obama making jobs the focus of his weekly address, saying he wants to help bring back jobs lost in the recession, but critics say his administration is part of the problem for making it easy to be jobless. reaction now pouring in over
10:16 am
nsa reforms. president obama proposing new limits on the spy agency that would restrict its access to the telephone records of millions of americans. the issue hardly put to rest as big questions still remain. elizabeth pran is live in washington with the latest. >> reporter: as much as we learn of tweaks to the storage systems, we are working much of the programs will stay intact. the u.s. will no longer monitored the communications of allied leaders and they will create a privacy panel to monitor the surveillance court. the programs protect the nation. >> what i did not do is stop these programs wholesale. not only becau that they made us more secure, but also because nothing in that initial review and nothing that
10:17 am
i learned since indicated that our intelligence community has sought to violate the law or is cavalier about civil liberties of u.s. citizens. >> privacy advocates say new technologies are reaching far into american lives. law makers are standing by the president's decision to leave much of the nsa intact. the president stance is a far cry from his campaign position in 2008. the then senator would openly criticize surveillance programs, emphasizing the importance of civil liberties. the former george alberto gonzales says the president has no choice but look at the situation from a different perspective. >> i think you get wiser when you put your hand on that bible and the lives of every single american, you're responsible for that. >> another big shift, remember when the president called edward snowden a 29-year-old hacker, during his speech yesterday he did acknowledge for better or
10:18 am
worse, snowden has had a major impact. back to you. >> thank you, elizabeth prann in washington. a team of inspectors from the u.n. nuclear watch dog agency arriving in iran as part of an interim deal reached with the u.s. and world powers. the deal goes into effect on monday. it faces big wild cards. what is the push in washington for new sanctions on iran. the other demands to see the fine print of what exactly was agreed to in the first place. jim walsh is an international security expert with m.i.t. and joins us now. good to see you. this is a big deal. white house issuing a summary of understandings related to this joint plan of action and writing specifically iran agreed to specific actions that stop the advance of its nuclear program, roll back key aspects of the program, and to include unprecedented access for international insepectoinspecto.
10:19 am
that is the white house's take. can we expect to get all this done? >> i think we will. this is an interim deal. it is the first part of what is to be a broader competencive deal. if that doesn't get done, this goes away. in so far as what is going to happen monday, that's the real deal. the number one concern we had, and i would have as a non-proliferation specialist was the 20% enrichment. we don't want them enriching 20%. we don't want a big pile of 20% sitting around that might quickly be converted up the grade to something closer to weapons grade uranium. they agreed to our number one demand. in return we didn't give them their number one demand. they wanted banking sanctions relief. we didn't give that. they got some relief. we'll have iaea, no more 20% and having daily access to some of these facilities. there's a lot of tough slogging left before any of this becomes
10:20 am
final. >> you answered my next question. i was going to ask what do we get out of this? you stated that. as we look forward to getting something out of this deal, there are critics out there, some members of congress who say this is not a good deal for the united states and its western allies that they are planning to do a proposal to call for more sanctions to be implemented and imposed on iran. the president said he would veto sanctions. what is going to happen with congress? >> yesterday i spent all day on capitol hill and met four or five senators. some co-sponsored that bill you're referring to. some refusing to co-sponsor. i'm not a political operative. my own best guess is this is in a holding pattern right now. i don't think it's going to move any time soon if it moves at all. it does pose a problem. we got our number one priority agenda item in in that interim agreement. they didn't.
10:21 am
the thing we promised was no new sanctions. we'll top out here. if the agreement falls apart we'll slam you. right now during this period no new additional sanctions. that bill would appear to be a direct contradiction of that. the dni, director of national intelligence testified if they passed that it would undermine the negotiation. >> if that is undermined and the reason why undermined because the iran hardliners out there can we trust iran to work with the international atomic energy agency for verification and confirmation and its limits to enrichment capacity? >> that is the critical question. i'm all about verification and all about actions and not words. one of the great things about this interim agreement is the sanctions relief they are getting is doled out a month at a time. their onbligations start day on, stopping that 20% enriched
10:22 am
uranium. the iaea is on the ground. they used to issue reports every three months. now they'll issue a report every month. i think we'll have a clear idea whether they are following through. >> you're indicating something new a lot of people were not aware of and privy to. what about the transparency of all this? can we read the fine print between the united states and all the plus five nations that agree to this in the first place? >> there was a sort of bit of controversy about that in the last couple of days. often when do you agreements, you have the principles then write down how they will be implemented and define certain words. that is true of every agreement. people were thinking maybe there is a secret side deal here. on capitol hill yesterday i was meeting with about 15 senate staffers who work on sanctions. they reported to me that the copy of that agreement is
10:23 am
available for congressmen and congresswomen and their staff. >> they can go through it to allay their fears but not suspend suspicions of iran. what do you see out of this deal? >> if we don't get a comprehensive deal this will be a temporary six, eight month boost. it is great. it's great, this deal stops iran from enriching to 20%. that by itself, bar nothing else, is a good thing. i call that progress. >> progress indeed. we need to see progress on that front in iran and the mideast. jim walsh, good to have you, sir. >> good to see you. shocking new information about the massive security breach at target. target may just be the first retailer coming under attack. as a consumer, are your hands tied when it comes to cyber security? in honor of martin luther king day, a loving daughter

welcome back. it's the bottom of the hour. in afghanistan, a homicide bombing in a crowded restaurant in kabul kills 21 people. two american citizens were among the victims. it's the deadliest attack against foreign civilians in that country since the war began nearly 13 years ago. >> in egypt, about 98% of voters approving a new military backed constitution. it's the first vote since the military ousted former president muhammed morsi. morsi supporters and the muslim brotherhood calling the results a fraud and vowing further protests. california governor jerry brown saying the state is seeing its worst drought in a century as firefighters battling flare-ups in a wildfire near los angeles that caused thousands of
10:29 am
folks to leave their homes. it is believed an illegal campfire sparked that blaze. the massive data breach at retail giant target may only be the tip of the iceberg. it appears the cyber attack could be part of a much broader hacking campaign aimed at multiple merchants. what needs to be done to protect you from identity theft? good to see you. how at risk is the u.s. credit card/debit system of fraud? >> without a doubt the u.s. credit card and debit card system is the most at-risk system in the world. in fact, we rank dead last. this is the problem here. this little bar, this is a scanning bar that goes through a machine. that system is completely exposed. basically, the rest of the world uses emv technology. they embed a micro chip in your card and it can be encrypted.
10:30 am
it's much more difficult, if you're in france or italy or china, it's much more difficult to read that data and get it off and scam you. >> we do have debit cards that have the blink system. i use that in taxi cabs where you tap it up against -- but it still has the strip on the back. >> that technology you just described that protects you. only 1% of over 1 billion cards in this country have that technology. they have not embedded these in the new cards. they say they are going to do it. maybe this is finally the straw that breaks the camel's back. >> it still has the strip on the back of my card. it's just faster than swiping. >> it's that chip technology that can be encrypted that protects your private data. >> master card and visa places an integrated surface into the credit cards for greater security. we have systems like paypal if we are shopping online. that draws directly out of their
10:31 am
checking accounts. are we safer using paypal? >> it helps. there are two problems here. one of the cards we are walking around with and the other is, whether it's a target or paypal, their own systems that are supposed to protect your data. paypal is more cutting edge than the average department store out there. and more important, the department stores or the retailers have so much of our personal data embedded in their own computer systems that it's the hacking of those computer systems that is completely out of our control. >> what do we do? we want some control since the united states is not protecting us. how do we protect ourselves? we all have the cards with the strip on the back of them. >> you start by demanding when you call for your new credit card call tomorrow and say i want a new technology. >> don't wait till tomorrow. they work 24 hours. >> they say it's going to happen from 2015 to 2020. if the retailers get enough
10:32 am
demand, it will happen. where is the federal bureau to protect consumers in all this? they are supposed to be watching over it. why isn't the federal government stepping in going this technology needs to be implemented today. when we sign up for the store credit card, we are giving our name, address, social security number, date of birth. we need to be careful who we sign up with and be careful about the information you give out. don't give out your e-mail for that 10% coupon. >> that is a good point. a lot of retailers offer a 10% discount if you open up an account with them. then you fill out an application on paper which kills me. that could be transferred into the wrong hands there in the store. >> that gets embedded in their own computer. >> should we not open up new credit cards? >> be very careful. we've gone through this in years past. do we need 43 in our wallet? we don't.
10:33 am
more important, let's be careful with the information we casually hand out. i'm sitting at a fast food restaurant and we give you the 10% off. somebody getting paid minimum wage, is it going into a computer system? we need to be more careful. >> on our personal computers, there is virus protection. a lot of our personal banking information, passwords you have the option of saving when you log into your bank account. >> what is the big deal? i'm giving out my e-mail address. that's the keys to the kingdom. >> that's how you change a password. >> feeds right back into your own computer at home. how protected is that? virus softwares are good, but they are not going to compete with a russian mobster who has billions at stake to get into your identity theft world. if identify theft happens, you're going to be protected because the credit card company will reimburse you.
10:34 am
getting a new social security card, new birth certificate can take years to unravel that mess. there is no protection for that. >> thank you very much. >> be careful. >> that is scary stuff. >> have a great day. this monday january 20th, united states will celebrate the first day of the reverend dr. martin luther king jr. many will reflect on his life of service, how he dedicated his worth to bridging the racial divide through a nonviolent struggle for civil rights. in today's beyond the dream, we reflect on dr. king through the eyes of his daughter reverend bernice king i interviewed when the world was celebrating the 50th anniversary, the march on washington. >> one of the things my father was trying to say to us, not just 50 years ago but 50 years ago, 49, 48, 47 and all what it to 45 when he was assassinated, he was really speaking to us
10:35 am
about our humanity and understanding our interconnectiveness and inte why he talked about sitting down at a table of brotherhood. in other words, us understanding we are one huge human family. that's why he talked about not judging by the color of the skin but by the content of the character. it's emotional knowing you're connected with a man that has had such great impact across the world. when people speak to me invariably from different places in this world, the first thing they want to bring to my attention is the "i have a dream" speech and how it has touched them and their life. it's a humbling experience to know that that's my dad. >> where have we gone astray in fulfilling that dream today? >> well, i think it still goes back to economics and spirituality.
10:36 am
those two issues i think are very critical. daddy talked about that in '67. he foresaw most of this. if we are not careful, we are going to become such a thing-oriented society and not people centered. all these different crisis are going to emerge. that's what's been happening to us as a community and even as a nation. when we think about my father and we think about other people, dr. king what defined him was his ministry. his calling. his personal commitment to christ and his kingdom. everything that he did came out of that. and he was a man, but he was a man that had an extraordinary faith in god. he also talked about extremism. you have a choice being an extremist of hate and he chose being an extremist of love.
10:37 am
>> one of the most portraits in unconditional love is the capacity to forgive. it's very easy to become bitter and angry. it's very easy to want to take revenge. it's the capacity to have the mentality that says by destroying them, a part of me is being destroyed because they are part of my humanity. my dad lost his life, but look what the world has gained? even though, you know, he didn't make it to see that promise land he talked about, and everybody had made it to this promise land he talked about, but there are people that are benefitting from the life and ultimately the sacrifice that he made. >> bernice king talking about her dad dr. martin luther king jr. every time i hear her describe her father, i get chills thinking about what a father he was and what he meant to this nation, as well. >> imagine walking in her shoes,
10:38 am
too? and constantly reliving this and knowing that she is sort of an icon, as well, to be that close to such an icon. >> so we celebrate his life. a possible immigration bill in the works. that is the word from capitol hill. it is just hype or could real reform be on the way? we'll get the latest on that. when you have diabetes like i do, getting the right nutrition isn't always easy. first, i want a way to help minimize my blood sugar spikes. then, a way to support heart health. ♪ and let's not forget immune support. ♪ but now i have new glucerna advance with three benefits in one. including carbsteady ultra to help minimize blood sugar spikes. it's the best from glucerna.

new signs house republicans are amping up their efforts to address immigration reform. the gop law makers reportedly planning to make the issue a main topic of conversation next week at their annual retreat. let's bring in fox news political analyst. thank you both for joining us. this is a topic a lot of people thought would have been settled by now. immigration reform, comprehensive immigration reform. why haven't we achieved that so far? angela? >> well, kelly, we have a congress that has some of the lowest approval ratings historically. they can't get on the same page. i think a lot of them are playing politics instead of policy. i'm hopeful and optimistic that since the senate passed a bill, the house will follow suit. unveiling principles for immigration reform, that is not legislation. boehner is talking about
10:43 am
unveiling principles. what they need to do is pass legislation and go to conference. >> mark, we heard angela referring to house speaker john boehner. as you know, republicans in the house are actually talking about doing something to implement some sort of immigration reform, but as angela is talking about, is it talk or will they get beyond principles and do something for once? >> we hope they will walk the walk. this has been an area of agreement for a long period of time. conservatives like john mccain, george w. bush, all supported different types of immigration reform. everybody acknowledges that this is a serious problem, a moral and economic problem for our country right now. and it is such a broken washington system, there is one area where there is i think a cause for optimism. even 9-10 americans believe in comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship that includes 83% of
10:44 am
conservative voters who also support a path to citizenship. i think we are at the moment here where john boehner, this issue has been derailed by fringe elements of the republican party at different points. democrats are hopeful john boehner has the fortitude to usher this through congress. we've seen bipartisan legislation passed in the senate on this issue. whether it can be done in the house is an issue that is open at the moment, but we are optimistic. >> mark is right from the standpoint who will hold this hostage could be the tea party republicans on the house side. you have a congressman from iowa, congressman king who said if there is anything in a bill that deals with legalization of immigrants, that's a nonstarter. they are not going to support it. boehner has to have the fortitude to stand strong and have a benevolent spirit to give these folks living in the shadows, 11 million undocumented workers and illegal aliens the path to citizenship. i support the senate bill and i
10:45 am
support boehner bringing something to the house floor. >> let's get beyond congress for a moment. the president himself has something to bear in this in terms of his responsibility. after all. it was a campaign pledge, not just this turn but the last term, as well. not got done. we should be seeing something coming from the white house at the same time that we are possibly seeing some movement in the house to do something, to do the right thing for a lot of people who are considered illegal immigrants. i know when i said that, people are going to be texting me, what do you mean do the right thing? isn't there something to be done and said about actually moving this ball forward and getting comprehensive plan? >> the president does share a certain amount of responsibility to provide a vision for immigration reform as he sees it, and to provide a lot of moral leadership here, as well. i think you're right that he has
10:46 am
been an advocate, a vocal advocate for immigration reform. he sees this as a fundamental flaw right now. we don't have as much an immigration problem in this country as we do an immigration law problem in this country. we have millions and millions of people, as angela mentioned, living in the shadows, doing different types of work. some are paying taxes, some of them aren't. the fact these people don't have the ability to participate in the democratic process. even though they go to church with us, work in restaurants with us or on farms. this is a problem, a moral problem for the country. it's a problem where hopefully john boehner and the president will find common ground and john boehner will be able to get his rank and file to fall in line. >> angela, the last word here. he talked about a moral problem. it's also a political problem for the gop, right? >> it is a political problem if they don't do anything about it and if the tea party does hold
10:47 am
immigration reform hostage, it's going to backfire on republicans come november with the midterm elections coming up. it will be an easy topic, easy political issue for democrats to defeat republicans on. republicans and democrats need to come together, sing kumbaya. mark and i agree finally on something and they need to come together and push through true comprehensive immigration reform. >> the agreement is duly noted between mark and angela. thank you for joining us. we'll see what congress does in the coming days, weeks and months. >> thanks, kell kwi. coming up, exploring the science behind what you eat and the health benefits. what one major corporation is doing to delve deeper in the connection between diet and nutrition.

food giant nestle set to begin testing foods on human cells. the company hoping to deepen its link between diet and disease by examining the medical benefits of its products. let's bring in dr. manny alvarez, senior managing editor of fox news.com. thank you for talking us to. nestle is doing something interesting where it's going to test brain cells. you are laughing, so obviously you are skeptical as many doctors are about this kind of research, which is nothing new, by the way, where they are trying to determine by these healthy nutrients put in our food that will affect us or protect us from disease, lengther our lives? >> they are trying to get in the corner of the market that is medical food. all these companies, it's almost a trillion dollar business. they want to get into that space. the fda, and this is all stemming because the fda is saying to the food companies,
10:53 am
you can't just put a label on a package and say it's going to cure this or cure that. can't do that. a couple of products already have been slapped by the fda saying it boosts energy, but in reality it really just creates calories. this is now looking at cellular biology, looking if these changes in cells have different nutrients and market it. you can't take cellular biology and put it in a package and say it's medical food. that is the criticism everybody has when you have a company saying this is going to help you fix this and that. food is food. if you have a deficiency in food, you can get a disease. if you don't have a deficiency in food, it's hard to make that correlation. real see. i think this is a marketing scheme. >> because they can use this in ads then. is that a ploy for these companies to basically get to advertise saying we have medically-backed research that shows if you consume our products, you will become
10:54 am
healthier or protect yourself from disease? who is not going to buy that up? >> that is exactly right. the strategy with a lot of food companies, even from the color of the packaging, content information, everything is -- you've got a lot of talent behind that. they know the billions of dollars they can come up with. if they are able to get closer to that window that says, by the way, if you eat my avocados because they are perfect, you are going to reduce your brad cholesterol and live another 50 years, of course you go for that marketing. that is the problem. we have to get away from all that marketing. concentrate on natural foods, no chemicals. get rid of the processed foods. >> everything is processed. >> working families so somebody with a medium income can afford these types of foods. then just balance your life.
10:55 am
we can't buy yourself to health. >> you've got to start young. you've i got to start with kids. there is a lot of processed junk. cheerios happens to be the biggest staple in every household. they advertise heart health. if you see heart health on a box of cereal, you'll buy it. >> even cheerios got slapped around coming too strong in preventing heart disease. >> really? >> yes, they did. you missed that story. absolutely. that's why we have to be careful. the federal regulations have to be very strict and specific in keeping the public protected at the end of the day. >> all right. what do we look for when shopping at the grocery store? >> do what i do? look for price. >> then you won't be buying organic. that stuff is expensive. >> and it should not be. >> you shouldn't pay more money to be healthy. >> of course not. >> don't fall for the gimmicks. >> good advice. don't fall for the gimmicks.
