Try to sneak a cookie before dinner and 72 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: see what happens. 73 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: Okay. 74 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: I used to sneak slices of German chocolate cake before 75 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: dinner when I was a kid, and you would think 76 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: I stole a car something the way, I got shamed 77 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: for it. Okay, eating that damn cake before you got 78 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 2: something hot in your stomach. 79 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 5: Yeah. 80 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: Grew up in the nineteen hundreds when if you were fat, 81 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: you would get called fat. 82 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: Okay, no political correctness was happening at all. 83 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: See, Megan, what you call snack shaming, we would call 84 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: fat prevention, because if you don't have more people that 85 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: hold parents accountable, then you get more kids that grow 86 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: up looking like Big Mac from Wilding Out. And that's 87 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: not a shot at Big Mac from Wilding Out. I 88 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: love Big Mac from Wildin Out. That's my guy. 89 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: Okay. 90 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: By the way, I literally talked to Big Mac about this, 91 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: and he referred me the high ranking members of the 92 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: Fat Lives Matter community, and they told me pringles are 93 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: a gateway drug that's why the slogan is shut up. 94 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: They said, that's why the slogan is once you pop, 95 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: you can't stop. So all that teacher was doing was 96 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: trying to stop you from giving your child unhealthy choices. Now, Megan, 97 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: is that a reason to take your child out of 98 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: that preschool? Do we have the audio her talking about that? 99 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: Taking the child out of preschool? 100 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 4: We don't say this is healthy, this is unhealthy. We 101 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 4: don't want them program like that. I have a background 102 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 4: of mental health counseling. I am not going to let 103 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 4: my kids get a freaking eating disorder because of a 104 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 4: school labeling things as healthy and unhealthy. That to me, 105 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 4: is unhealthy. So I dropped my son off at school today. 106 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 4: I checked him in and I saw that the director 107 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 4: was there, so I initiated the conversation. So I just 108 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 4: shared how I was disappointed with how you know, it 109 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 4: was handled. I wish they had reached out to me directly. 110 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 4: And she shared that, you know, it was passive aggressive 111 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 4: of me to keep sending him pringles after they did share. 112 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 4: And yes, some of you asked, yes, they did share 113 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 4: to send healthy snacks, but I didn't consider pringles to 114 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 4: be like this unhealthy snacked anyways. There was just no apology, 115 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 4: there was no taking responsibility. And my son's been there 116 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 4: for quite some time, and we had him registered for 117 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 4: their summer program, and at the end of the conversation, 118 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 4: she shared, we no longer have a part time spot 119 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 4: for your son this summer. I walked downstairs and I 120 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 4: just checked my son out and that's that. We're done there. 121 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: So you unenrolled your child because the teacher said, you 122 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: need to make healthier lifestyle choices. 123 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: We have to stop performing for the internet. 124 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: Like this is her trying to get sympathy from TikTok 125 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: because this is no reason to take your kid out 126 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: of school on my trip is no. 127 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 5: No, no, no, no nos too much. I think they 128 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 5: kicked her out first, That's what it sounds like, right, 129 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 5: because they kicked her out of the summer program because 130 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 5: they tied at dealing with her. If she is getting 131 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 5: upset about this little note, and she's like, he's been 132 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 5: there for a long time, he's in pre school, he's 133 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 5: been there for six months. Yeah, what what do you 134 00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 5: worry about? 135 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 4: The thing? 136 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: Right? 137 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: I have six kids, right, and we all know that 138 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: sometimes you kids eat different things. 139 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: So if I go because this is a snack. 140 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: You're supposed to hold your kid over for lunch, right, 141 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 3: And you know, having kids, sometimes your kids are very picky. 142 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: They might not want vegetables, they might not want fruit chips. 143 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 3: So I just want them to be fine until that 144 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 3: next meal comes. And if it's fruit snacks, if it's. 145 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: Chips, whatever, we know better.
