we have to give some credit to nyu's own marion nestle. i never thought in my lifetime we would see the needle move where soda sales would decline and mcdonald's would have the management shakeup because its sales have been declining for several consecutive quarters. it is because the american people are more aware that there is better, not just more nutritious food, but better tasting food, or ethically sourced food. mention,thing i will one of the last people i interviewed for the united states of arugula was the chef tom collegial. cio.as feeling -- tom colle he said, i do not know if i'm doing the right thing, i feel like i'm addicted to the deal. m i a sleaze? what is wrong with me? two things happened, tom not -- thent on to become flip side is the start of this organization called food policy action, because he wanted to have a state in food policy, the same thing obama's have been doing, which leads i think nicely to our next person, claire. claire: thank you, dave. clark: sometimes i think i am in control and sometimes i am not. l

upper marion's police chief says his department did what it needed to do quickly. >> the amber alert that went out through the upper marion police department went out within the first few minutes. >> so here it is step by step. local police notify state police by 7:45 thursday night. it took an hour to obtain appropriate information and photos. their amber activation occurred at 8:48 p.m. with that activation, state police then notified the national center for missing and exploited children in washington d.c. that is the agency which pushes the button to send cell phone alerts. the cellular send process can take 15 to 30 minutes on a good day. thursday night it seems that process took about 45 minutes. so in the next half hour, we're going to look at what takes place before you are notified and we're going to hear more from the police chief. live for now in the digital operation center, monique braxton, nbc 10 news. >> thanks, monique. >>> police in camden are looking for a man whom they say shot and killed his own mother. nbc 10 was on the 1100 block of 18th street last night. as yo
