-- tonight the Disney company announcing it will not accept advertising for some unhealthy foods as the nation's anti obesity campaign ramps up.

First Lady Michelle Obama appeared -- Disney executives today.

Courage -- -- to consume healthy foods.

And feed their kids good things.

-- now Fox Business anchor and author of the book know they can't John Stossel.

We asked docile but together the libertarian.

Anti obesity plan.

So where we starts docile.

The load her in planned out is nothing not -- Just let people get free eating themselves to death if they want to yes OK even though that American taxpayer pays.

Billions.

And billions of dollars for.

Health problems generated by bad guys -- you don't because -- have socialized.

Have socialized medicine we have to give up all our other freedom -- well that's not a reason I don't know whether to give up or it's an awareness I thought that the anti smoking campaign.

Was brilliantly conducted by the federal government that is to demonize smoking and health way spent a lot of money on it but that smoking is dropped in this country.

If you compare us to Europe everybody smoke and in Europe because they don't have that.

-- I thought that was a very effective thing and I'd like to see the same thing done with nutrition.

Fine you do it but why should government do at the antismoking message came -- everybody public service and don't know well but it was primarily driven by the government it started with -- warning on a packet and then the public service announcement products not do it.

Privacy is not gonna invest money to do it this is -- -- -- for them.

Short TV stations run these public service announcements for the -- -- government I think not all of them whose book.

There's nothing wrong competent it isn't.

All the stuff it's not about obesity since it's done that the only gotten -- they're not good because -- -- -- -- coordinated effort to tell people.

What's wrong what's everybody else let me -- in -- this personal example.

About three months ago I gave up being wheat products and if you look in your cabinet everything you have -- free package has weeded.

The reason was there was -- -- lethargic.

Since then my cholesterol is drop my allergies have left my waist size down two -- -- given up we actually behind your name.

Nobody nobody told me that I had this kind of figure it out but you don't tell me about a Elisabeth Hasselbeck of the view all right what I forgot all about she looks good out -- and all this looks better than you what is the government absolutely -- better than me put it the government would help people think you know you might don't -- -- -- -- -- stuff.

Because blowing me off but your elbows gonna fall off -- you continue to do what what's wrong with that.

Because government is lousy at -- they tell he had not eat salt when many of us can -- salt.

We got a million diet books and private sector wasteful -- people don't know what he knows and -- confusing -- the -- does this the other -- the government makes it simple government makes -- complicated I I think that you could have an anti obesity public that's what Michelle -- -- -- -- -- what they were doing it wouldn't be right even if it that they wouldn't be right because either -- free or were not -- anti smoking PSAs wrong -- wrong advice but Bloomberg Colorado -- -- -- -- you don't say band and O'Donnell demanding.

Just divided society if Michelle Obama can talk you know I hear your employer care.

Here's a public service announcement I want.

Federal government spends the money.

You couldn't make any government for he and Michael Moore stand side by side.

And the only -- the garbage that evening and you can do the voice over you wanna look -- or -- or do you wanna look like poor don't need week.

That's all we need.

But that's government forcing -- -- -- your tax money goes to pay for that how do you think he really think they said -- Clear it's cost effective it -- as more and hospital -- I always say it's cost effective had been honest true well then let's have exercised police come into our homes having his right laughter.

Do pushups.

By your logic.

-- government it's true I cannot get through stops so.
