FOX News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle, featured a segment with WWE Chief Content Officer and Hall of Famer Paul “Triple H” Levesque.
The segment covered how President Trump’s administration has been criticized for recent changes made to the food pyramid and the new focus on whole milk, as opposed to 1 or 2 percent. Levesque also discussed his column he wrote for the FOX News website that was published this past Saturday.
During the discussion on the program, when speaking on obesity in children, Levesque said the changes to the pyramid is the “correct call.”
“It’s mind-boggling when you look at those numbers, a 270 percent increase from 50 years ago. One in five kids is obese. And, statistically, they will spend the rest of their life obese. They will have chronic diseases because of it. We can change that, and the biggest, significant change you can make is exercise and nutrition. It’s not treating it down the line, it’s treating it now while you’re young. I truly believe that most nutritionists that disagree with it, it’s because they were taught wrong from the beginning. They were taught nutrition in the wrong way. The flip of the food pyramid is the correct call. I just think that that is in children’s best interest. And exercise, health — people, they just need to put down their phones, get out there, exercise. These kids need to get healthy, work out, play, go outside, ride a bike, play basketball, play baseball. Do something active every day. Get yourself fit. Get yourself healthy. And the accomplishment that you feel from doing those things will lead to success in the rest of your life, I promise you that.”
