the environment for so many children, particularly low- income children and children of color, is on healthy. children who walk to and from school may be more fit than their peers who do not walk, but they may be fatter because they stopped to buy food. we need to enact legislation if we truly want to decrease childhood obesity and eliminate health disparities. >> it does been really helpful with developing the legislation. youwe have a paid lobbyist who s allegedly speaking on behalf of the nutritionist community. you have these credentials. you think it is an established fan of that has access to the types of -- established tenants that has access to the types of fast-food the volunteer childhood obesity? >> i am not a dietitian, but i would say that. >> you think that is a common belief? >> yes. >> i am of pediatrician and a faculty member. i would like to echo the comments said we do not think fast food is only reason. why i am concerned about the health of my patients. we see diseases on a regular basis. some are high blood pressure, even children with knee and back problems sec

i am also proud father of three children. i am here to ask you do not recommend passage of the ordinance as it was originally written. i have been a mcdonald's franchise owner for 20 years. i have 10 restaurants. i employ 400 people, and my restaurants continue nearly $200 to the city, county, and state. i am very active in my community. i have served on several local merchant associations. there are several other mcdonald's operators in the room, and they are as actively involved in the community, especially the ronald mcdonald houses in san francisco, as i am. i have a serious concern about this proposed ordinance. first, the city has already enacted numerous ordinances that have put a strain on local businesses. this would be an organizational nightmares in my restaurants, causing confusion among unstaffed and confusion and anger amongst my customers. families traveling from outside the area will expect a toy with their kids happy meal. if the proposed ordinance is modified in a way that some children are eligible for a to

we know we can take vegetables for school children. we know school children are eating vegetables. what is it we need to do to break down that barrier? they mentioned it is all about education. education alone does not work. in the late 1980's, they invested in intervention spirited -- in intervention. we found that everybody gained weight. we have learned we need education to make things work syria -- to make things work. we have standards for food safety of. the standards work to protect public health. we have standards in a variety of fields. i think it is a viable strategy appear reagan -- a viable strategy. >> why did you come down? did you feel you were compromising the nutritional value? why did you think you could? >> the standard was half a cup. we thought five was a regional with -- we thought that was reasonable. perhaps when more people are eating vegetables, we will be able to get to these standards. >> you were basically doing the same thing the school district >> one thing i have heard from mcdonald's is there are studies that demonstrate that the toy is incentive to

children under 5. in fact, research has shown between 1990 and 2010, it has saved the lives of roughly 4 million children. when you invest in education. and the choices for women -- you invest in saving the lives of those children. >> on progress -- you asked about it. first of all, there has been impressive progress on certain fronts that we should celebrate. east asia reduced its extreme poverty from 60% down to 16% over a period of 15 years. it has to be celebrated. the second point is the progress has been uneven. it has been uneven among regions, between countries. and it has been uneven but in countries within a groups of people of the regions. the third point is sitting in 2010, we know the proven interventions. we know what works. we know what programs that have worked. that scholarship and -- has worked. you talk about gender equality but there is also women's empowerment. >> women empowerment. yes, thank you. >> we know that if we invest in a girls and women and if we educate girls, you are a

i am speaking as a mother of three children and grandchildren of six children. i think the ordinance is wrong because it takes away people's responsibilities for themselves and for the children. today we have numerous people speaking. there is no doubt we do have an epidemic. thank you for pointing out an occasion for people to solve this issue. this is getting worse. we can work together. the scope of the problem is serious. we eat at fast-food, but most of the time we eat at home, so when you eat at a restaurant, it is easy to point a finger at a restaurant, and if they are the ones causing the problem, they provide food people want to eat. we do have a standard to guide us as to how to eat, and i think most of the restaurant industry does try to comply. i think consumers have plenty of choices including mcdonald's to reagan -- including mcdonald's the reagan we need to work together. >> what city did you live in? >> i have a mcdonald's if business in the city appear reagan >> how did you find out about the hearing? >> i read about it in the paper.

tavis: i'm wondering if adults to buy these books for their children are still raising their children with a basic sense of the difference between what is right and what is wrong, or have we again gone so far off course that we don't understand any more or accept that there is a distinction between what is right and acceptable in society and what is wrong and unacceptable. >> well, it is a parent's job to determine what is right and wrong, according to their values, and in part that to their children. and we have sadly gone off course with the profound inundation of media and technology and a creepy crawler vine of solidarity and profanity -- of fauquier ready and profanity and bottom feeder sex sells. i was in eighth grade, doing a report on american history. we did oral reports. i was doing a report on the left for college. i walked up and wrote the word "sex" on the blackboard. all the kids laughed. i said, "good, now that i have gotten your attention --" this is when i was 12, in public education. tavis: by the way, if you could ever explain to me -- >> my point being it is out th

our children, our children, our children, their health, their education, the economic security-of-their families, jobs, the safe, clean neighborhoods in which they can thrive in a world of peace in which they can succeed. so it's always been about the children for me. so i would hope that when the time comes, my legacy will be about what a difference we made in the lives of america's children and health care is very central to that, to them and to their families. >> for these children, our children, and for -- >> that's why when i got sworn in as speaker, i received the gavel surrounded by children, called the house to order in the name of all of america's children. >> according to a recent report in "u.s.a. today", independent analysts predict the number of women in the house of representatives currently, 56 democrats, 17 republicans, will drop for the first time in 30 years. we'll keep following the upcoming midterm elections and see what actually does happen on election day. whether your views are in agreement or to the contrary, join us next week. >> funding for "to the contrary" pr
