Jenny. What makes tacos the most popular food in America?
00:05
I don't know. Actually that's a good question.
00:07
Las tortillas, delicious and low calories unless you're me because I'll
00:14
be eating like 20 of them in one season.
00:17
I know you see me here dogging them out.
00:20
Actually. Interesting enough.
00:23
A legislator in California wants to make them even better for pregnant
00:27
women. Yeah. A bill by assembly member,
00:31
Joaquin Arambula who is also a doctor,
00:34
by the way, would require producers add 0.7 mg of folic
00:40
acid to every pound of masa.
00:42
This is so pregnant women could have more folic acid.
00:46
Yeah, because state public health data shows that Latinas are less
00:50
likely to take folic acid in the early weeks of pregnancy or
00:54
before becoming pregnant. And it's so funny that it's in a
00:57
tortilla because Latinas love tortillas.
01:01
No, my man went straight to the source.
01:03
He's like the Latinas aren't taking enough of this.
01:06
Let's la the tortilla.
01:07
Well, that's the thing.
01:08
What's important, what's important about folic acid while not taking enough
01:12
is that it puts them at a higher risk of having Children
01:16
born with birth defects.
01:17
So that's what they're trying to do with,
01:19
you know, adding folic acid in the tortillas.
01:21
And how do you add folic acid in the tortillas?
01:23
Well, put it in the masa and then adding nutrients to
01:26
food is kind of like an old practice because they used to
01:29
do this back in World War Two when they found that many
01:33
of the people that they were recruiting for World War Two were
01:38
so they added enriched flour to breads and iodine has been added
01:43
to table salt since the what?
01:45
19 twenties. So it's like they add these things just so
01:49
it easier to take in,
01:51
especially with the tortillas.
01:53
what else do you think they can sneak into our foods to
01:57
fix me blood pressure.
01:59
Like, I know it's vitamin but make it fun.
02:02
Like give me a pizza that will fix me,
02:04
you know, like I got high blood pressure,
02:07
they might be able to,
02:11
and pizza, they make it with masa too.
02:13
So, well, we'll just see what happens,
02:16
but I can't wait to,
02:18
to get preggers and see how this affects me.
02:22
and if you're a dad that should be like tacos is the
02:25
number one thing you can't say no to,
02:27
no matter what time.
02:28
I already know. I already know I'm a crave.
02:30
Jack in the box tacos at 2 a.m. and I want my
02:33
hubby to go get me some.
02:34
That's what I'm waiting for.
02:35
But anyhoo, let's move on.
