Appearing on FOX News Channel’s The Ingraham Angle with guest host Kayleigh McEnany, WWE legend Paul “Triple H” Levesque didn’t hold back as he stood behind the Trump administration’s decision to reintroduce whole milk into school cafeterias, even as outlets like The Atlantic and some nutritionists raise concerns about saturated fats.
>“Yes, 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.”
>“And 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.”
>“People 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.”
>“The accomplishment that you feel from doing those things will lead to success in the rest of your life. I promise you that.”
>“When I go to a grocery store, there are still fruits and vegetables there. There are still whole foods. There are still whole milks. There are still meats and healthy foods that you can eat. You don’t have to eat processed foods. You don’t have to eat the junk that comes along with it.”
