[ speaking a foreign language ] "i have the feeling my pontificate will be brief. four or five years or two or three he told mexico's televisa.

the first pope in more than a thousand years to retire his predecessor saying that pope benedict should not be an exception but an institution. >> he was pretty vague about the timetable. he did not fix at the deadlines. but he is 78 years old and i think there's a sense that the clock is ticking. >> reporter: it's not that he's sick of the job but the 78-year-old pope jokes that he misses being able to go out rome unrecognized for a pizza. still has work to do. francis has been busy retooling the message of the church focusing on poverty and social justice reforming the church hierarchy too and he's creating more cardinals which could make a big difference in the conclave that eventually chooses his successor. we could eventually have two retired popes still living plus a new pope unprecedented. >> what if he does retire one day? i don't think he would be hidden

away in the vatican like pope benedict is. >> reporter: maybe then pope francis can finally enjoy his pizza. for "good morning america," david wright, abc news, new york. >> this is a man who has made so many changes in such a short period of time. i can't understand anything he says except for the word pizza >> let him have his pizza. >> he's certained it. >> stuffed crust even. we want to move to a new kids eat right label that will soon be appearing on krafs single, creditly wrapped slices of processed cheese from the academy of nutrition and dietetics and might be a little confusing because it looks like an endorsement but really it is not. so let's turn to dr. richard besser so rich if it's not a seal of approval from the academy, exactly what is this? >> it's confusion is what it is so the academy has a program called he'ds eat right, a website that gives tips on how

to give your kids a nutritious diet things that you can do and entered into an agreement with kraf and krafs is giving money and in exchange get to put this label on their product. it looks like the academy is endorsing the product and while processed cheese product slices can be part of a healthy diet there's a lot of calcium and vitamin d they're high in saturated fat and salt. >> so kraft is paying the academy. >> kraft and kids eat right will collaborate on a nutrition education campaign for three years to raise awareness of the diets of america's kids lacking in three important components dairy, calcium and vitamin d. but the label as you said will be hard to read if not impossible for parents to differentiate so what is the underlying lesson for parents? >> a whole movement to clean up label, make them easier to understand and if it turns out this is very confusing it is

something the federal trade commission can come in and say that's inappropriate but when you're shopping read the label very carefully. the idea is real food and you'll find that around this store, around the outside of the store in particular fresh fruits and vegetable, lean proteins you want to limit the amount of processed food because that's where you see the added salt and sugar. doesn't mean you can't have any of it but the idea of a healthy food we've been trying to drill that into people and get worried when there's something that could confuse the picture. >> no matter how you slice it this could be very confusing. dr. richard besser. i couldn't resist. >> cheesy comment. >> on behalf of paula, i apologize. >> thank you. >> eat real food though. such an important thing. >> it is. >> rich thank you. on a lighter note now we're going to talk about the royal baby countdown. a heavily pregnant duchess kate sporting navy as she joined her husband and the queen at an event to pay tribute to those who fought in afghanistan. paula is looking at me. i didn't mean to say she was
