• 0:35
  Speaker 2: be for moms. And this woman recently went viral because
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: she posted a clip that has five hundred and sixty
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: eight thousand views. I'm gonna read you the headline of
• 0:43

• 0:47
  Speaker 2: home with a note saying my lunch wasn't healthy, So
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I unenrolled him. Yes, Meghan decided to unenroll her child
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: from preschool because the teachers sent home a note saying
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the child's lunch wasn't healthy. I can't make this kind
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of stuff Uplet's make let's go to make it. TikTok
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: for the report.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: I sent my son to school with pringles, which is
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: a very age appropriate snack for a three year old,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: and this is what his school said. Please help us
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: make healthy choices at school. They wrote that on his
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: pringles cup. They snack shamed my three year old. They
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: snack shamed me by writing that passive aggressively.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: On his trash. What would you do?
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: I messaged the school personally and said that that was
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: snack shaming and that we at our house do not
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: label things as healthy and unhealthy because that starts eating disorders.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: And I'm just curious.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: What would you do, Megan?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Regardless of how you label food, there is absolutely unhealthy
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: food and healthy food. That's a very confusing comp That's
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: a very confusing comment. Okay, saying at our house, we
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: do not labeled things as healthy and unhealthy you know, nuts,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: because that's what actually starts eating disorders. Okay, yeah, you're right.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: That kind of mentality, does, you know, cause eating disorders
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and it causes your little fat kid to eat disorder
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and that order and that order because all you probably
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: order is unhealthy things.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: What's nuts? Here is a teacher at the school told Megan.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: She said She said that Megan actually was the one
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: who was being passive aggressive because the note was sent
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: home about packing healthy foods for their kids from Megan
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: when they first enrolled in the school. But even after
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: that note, Megan still sent her son to school with pringles. Megan,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: you must practice what you preach if you're going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: tell the school that they need to have healthier options
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: and you just need to have healthy options and your
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: kids lunch. And I know you responded by packing pringles
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: with a granola bar, yogurt, fruit, Okay, a bunch of
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: healthy stuff, But ma'am, the unhealthy snack is still there.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Just because you surrounded with fruits and granola doesn't mean
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you're not breaking the rules, Okay, rules that you attempted
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: to say.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: If I say no.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Crack is allowed at work, okay, just say no, you
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: can't smoke rock. If you come in here with the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: crack and some green juice, broccoli and egg whites, you're
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: still bringing in what we.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Said not to. Okay.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And I'm so sick of y'all putting sham in at
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the end of everything. Y'all just making up stuff. Snack shaming.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: That's what we are now. Really, I've been getting snack
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: shame in my whole life. Then parents were supposed to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: snack shame. Try to sneak a cookie before dinner and
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: see what happens.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I used to sneak slices of German chocolate cake before
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: dinner when I was a kid, and you would think
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I stole a car something the way, I got shamed
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: for it. Okay, eating that damn cake before you got
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: something hot in your stomach.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Grew up in the nineteen hundreds when if you were fat,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: you would get called fat.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, no political correctness was happening at all.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: See, Megan, what you call snack shaming, we would call
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: fat prevention, because if you don't have more people that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: hold parents accountable, then you get more kids that grow
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: up looking like Big Mac from Wilding Out. And that's
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: not a shot at Big Mac from Wilding Out. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: love Big Mac from Wildin Out. That's my guy.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: By the way, I literally talked to Big Mac about this,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and he referred me the high ranking members of the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Fat Lives Matter community, and they told me pringles are
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: a gateway drug that's why the slogan is shut up.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: They said, that's why the slogan is once you pop,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you can't stop. So all that teacher was doing was
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: trying to stop you from giving your child unhealthy choices. Now, Megan,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: is that a reason to take your child out of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: that preschool? Do we have the audio her talking about that?
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Taking the child out of preschool?
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: We don't say this is healthy, this is unhealthy. We
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: don't want them program like that. I have a background
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: of mental health counseling. I am not going to let
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: my kids get a freaking eating disorder because of a
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: school labeling things as healthy and unhealthy. That to me,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: is unhealthy. So I dropped my son off at school today.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: I checked him in and I saw that the director
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: was there, so I initiated the conversation. So I just
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: shared how I was disappointed with how you know, it
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: was handled. I wish they had reached out to me directly.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: And she shared that, you know, it was passive aggressive
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: of me to keep sending him pringles after they did share.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: And yes, some of you asked, yes, they did share
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: to send healthy snacks, but I didn't consider pringles to
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: be like this unhealthy snacked anyways. There was just no apology,
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: there was no taking responsibility. And my son's been there
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: for quite some time, and we had him registered for
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: their summer program, and at the end of the conversation,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: she shared, we no longer have a part time spot
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: for your son this summer. I walked downstairs and I
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: just checked my son out and that's that. We're done there.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: So you unenrolled your child because the teacher said, you
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: need to make healthier lifestyle choices.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: We have to stop performing for the internet.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Like this is her trying to get sympathy from TikTok
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: because this is no reason to take your kid out
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: of school on my trip is no.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: No, no, no, no nos too much. I think they
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: kicked her out first, That's what it sounds like, right,
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: because they kicked her out of the summer program because
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: they tied at dealing with her. If she is getting
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: upset about this little note, and she's like, he's been
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: there for a long time, he's in pre school, he's
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: been there for six months. Yeah, what what do you
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: worry about?
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: The thing?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I have six kids, right, and we all know that
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: sometimes you kids eat different things.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So if I go because this is a snack.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: You're supposed to hold your kid over for lunch, right,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: And you know, having kids, sometimes your kids are very picky.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: They might not want vegetables, they might not want fruit chips.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: So I just want them to be fine until that
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: next meal comes. And if it's fruit snacks, if it's.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Chips, whatever, we know better. That's why we feed them.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That's why I want my.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Kid to be hungry at three years old, hungry because
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: he's not gonna eat the vegetables.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna wait watches now because I had all them
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: little snacks and battening stuff. My mama said, well, I
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: wish I gave you a little bit better food choices.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: But if I know my kids don't eat vegetables or fruit,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say, well you, I'm gonna give it
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: to you. You're just gonna be hungry. No, I'm gonna
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: give you something at three. He's not six, he's not nine,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: he's three.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, And this ain't no reason to unroll your kids. Okay,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: write a note back.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Pull up to the teacher, have a conversation like you did,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: tell them mind their business, but U enrolling the kids
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: stop it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Because now she's gonna calls me war problems, not the kids,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: going to miss his friends, all kinds of Now you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: taking him out?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: What are you teaching this child? And what Kim said
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: is very true. Man, You know what her mom said.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: To her right, Absolutely, snack snack shaming today could prevent
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: future fat shaming later in life.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: That future fat shaming. I agree, and I've done it,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: but I was I was mad when Charla Man said
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: that too. I'm put my side. I put the chips
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: in there, but I put some grapes and a banana.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You're right, I do surround it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: And I got that note from the school, and the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: banana come back.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: The grapes come back.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Because the kids shared with other kids. From the school
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: is trying to keep a healthy environment because they're gonna
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: give the chips and share, and then the other parents
