They Don't Know to Say No

Gina’s husband is obsessed with Vinnie’s UltraFats. (2:00)
He uses them during all his training to fuel up, and so does Vinnie.
If you have protein in your small intestine, your body will not catabolize muscle while training. (3:00)
You don’t need to load up on carbs.
Another great use is for travel! (5:00)
Gina started making her child’s lunch because of all the processed foods that the school lunches contained. (9:00)
Fois gras is banned in California because of the force-feeding of geese to make their livers fatty.
Yet it is somehow acceptable to have school lunches be processed foods every day, which can lead to fatty liver, among other things.
When a kid is hungry at school, they WILL eat what is in front of them, especially if it is chemically engineered to taste good.
They don't know to say "no" to them!
Vending machines in school became the topic of a South Park episode—about “Prime” beverage. (16:00)
The episode is inappropriate for kids, but Gina wants parents to be aware of what is out there.
President Bill Clinton was able to get soda out of vending machines at school.
However, companies just filled them with juice and energy drinks instead.
Vinnie shares a story about climbing with his nephews. (18:00)
One nephew learned the hard way that maybe Vinnie was right about properly fueling your body.
Gina shares the ingredients of the Prime hydration drink. (24:00)
As you would guess, some of the ingredients are harmful, like cyanocobalamin.
The kids are taken by the marketing.
