The junk food they're eating--look what they're eating in schools, look at the--and not only just what they're eating, how much people are eating now.

I mean, the portions of food are getting immense. It's just staggering how much they put on a plate now for you to eat, as if that's desirable.

I have a bill in to do this. I don't know the number of it, but I'll get it to you to take a look at.

We need to provide more fruits--fresh fruits, fruit drinks, healthy kinds of foods at places like that to send the proper example to our kids.

I feel better about it now. Thank you.

You've been a great leader.

And one in Iowa?

I have introduced a bill called Healthier Lifestyles and Prevention bill to provide incentives to schools, employers, communities.

I just want to thank my chairman and my friend, Senator Specter, for calling this important hearing today.

Thank you.

We've got to get more physical education back into schools.

And what a terrible signal to send to kids.

But, Dean, we've got to start with kids early on.

But we don't provide it for businesses to provide wellness programs for the workers.

Because it is my opinion, having been, you know, in Agriculture--I've been chairman and ranking member of that committee--and also here, that your Department needs to have the majority of input into designing that food pyramid.

Medicare pays for all this patching, fixing, and mending, but we don't get to this step, of preventative healthcare.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

We need to move in that direction.
