The two stops are stop on the sodas and sugary drinks.

Those, excuse me, are 140 calories per shot, per 12-ounce can, with no nutritional value.

It's like 10 teaspoons of sugar.

It's ridiculous, okay?

You got to, you know...

wind it down, however you can do.

And I would say one of the pieces of good news over the last, you know, five or six years is soda consumption has gone down in America.

We're now at, I think, one, on average, one can per person per day.

It should, it's got to go down.

And we should celebrate progress.

The second is

snacks, the pretzels, the Twinkies, the cakes and cookies and crackers, those are not good for you.

And those, we've actually had a dramatic increase, 500 calories per day increase in the consumption of those starchy snacks.

If you still think you need snacks, switch to healthy snacks.

And there are healthy snacks.

They're called nuts or dried fruit or, you know, real apples and other things.

But the starchy snacks, they have zoomed up, you know, 500 added calories.

It's like a...

you know, one of those big items a day, we often eat them instead of breakfast.

Those are the two big things to stop.
