Fox News host says healthy school food is ‘the road to hell’: It’s ‘causing mental problems’ [View all]

Fox News host Andrea Tantaros warned on Wednesday that healthier school food was already “causing mental problems” for students.

In a Tuesday report, WCBS pointed out that new rules from the New York City Board of Health reduced the amount of juice a 2 year old could have at day care to 4 ounces a day. The old rules followed American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines of 6 ounces per day, but officials wanted to leave some wiggle room for children who consumed juice outside of school.

On Wednesday, Fox News host Harris Faulkner accused the Board of Health of being “the food police.”

But Bill O’Reilly, who was appearing as a guest on Outnumbered, argued that some amount of “social engineering” was necessary with school food because many parents “don’t care what their children do, don’t care how they eat, don’t care how they behave, how they speak, what they learn.”

“It is nanny state-ish,” O’Reilly agreed. “But it’s necessary because we have so many irresponsible parents.”
