>> pretty much. yeah. i had, yeah, a guardian angel watching over me. >> reporter: she just moved into her house on mckinley avenue. >> i don't know where to start, where to go. >> reporter: a few went to the red cross shelter. >> we had to go somewhere where we can have a decent meal for a day or two. >> reporter: we caught up with 15-year-old alex taylor among boxes and boxes of donated goods. >> it's amazing that as many people in our neighborhood lived because of all the damage around. >> reporter: governor pat quinn declared the town and surrounding counties a disaster area. >> it's amazing how some businesses and families their homes are intact and across the street it's completely obliterated. >> reporter: a collision between cold, rocky mountain air and warm, wet midwestern weather spawned the tornadoes that stretched for hundreds of miles. >> reporter: it is just about due west right now. >> reporter: this is what one looked like as it bore down on the kansas planes. in harveyville, gemma collins house collapsed around her. >> all of the stuff that is right here and in there was on top of me. i was inside that bathtub. i swore we were going to die. all i could do was pray. >> reporter: country music mek car, branson, missouri, was not spared. some of its showcase theaters were badly damaged. >> a lot of businesses that are going to be down. it's heart wrenching. >> reporter: utility crews were out overnight in branson attempting to restore power. the first step toward recovery. >> reporter: already damage assessments are running into the tens of millions of dollars, and the tornado season is only just beginning. >> dean, thank you. as dean pointed out,the dangerous storms are not over. lonnie quinn of "cbs this morning" is here to show us where the violent weather is headed next. >> good morning, erica, and everyone. i want to recap and show you how big this area was affected yesterday. nebraska to kansas, missouri, illinois, tennessee, kentucky, indiana, two days, 27 confirmed tornadoes. with so many people on edge, i think the big question is does it happen again today? the answer is highly, highly unlikely for today. i think this entire area shaded in yoel low, okay, member fos, st. louis, indianapolis, pretty strong thunderstorms. tornadoes, not going to happen. this warm gulf air has to push further to the north and clash with colder air. that happens tomorrow. national weather service and the storm prediction center is saying tomorrow is your day from nashville up to cincinnati. the possibility of 2s, 3s, 4s, it will be out there again. you have to be on alert everybody. i'm sorry for the bad news. >> glad to have you with us. just a note in our next hour, we'll take a look at a new high tech device that gives forecasters more time to warn people that a tornado is coming, a device that may have already saved lives this week. >> there is breaking news this morning from afghanistan. two americans have been killed in yet another attack on u.s. troops following last week's burning of islamic holy books. andy clark is in kabul. mandy, what can you tell us about this latest act? >> reporter: well, the american soldiers were shot dead in kandahar province inside their outpost. one of the attackers was an afghan soldier. the other, a teacher. it's the third time that afghan security forces have turned their guns on americans since the koran burning incident. six americans have been killed in at least 15 injured so far. the protests may have died down, but it seems targeted attacks on american soldiers is on the rise. >> mandy, what's being done then about those targeted attacks? is there anything to be done? >> reporter: well, right now very little can be done. a big part of the u.s. mission is training up and partnering with the afghan forces so u.s. soldiers share the same bases. they eat together and they go on patrol together. now they not only have to worry about the insurgents threat but also the danger of the enemy within their own ranks. >> mandy clark in kabul. thank you. >> reporter: thank you. just moments ago we learned from national security correspondent david martin that there were, in fact, three gunmen, two of them were killed. the other was captured. we turn now to politics and the disappearance of political moderates on capitol hill. the latest to leave is republican senator olympia snowe. she surprised everyone by giving up her re-election campaign. nancy cord disis on capitol hill this morning. >> reporter: olympia snowe is the latest member to cite congressional paralysis as her reason for retirement as politics has become more polarized, the ranks of centrists here have thinned. the ones who are left are often less powerful. >> people would ask me, do you think things are going to change? and i wasn't sure that it would change. >> reporter: with congress tied in knots over even minor measures. >> why, because i'm going to keep my time. >> that is nonsense. >> reporter: maine's olympia snowe has decided to take her talents elsewhere. >> reporter: was it getting to lonely to be a moderate republican in the senate? >> there wasn't a lot of company. >> reporter: most have moved to the right or retired. moderate democrat, evan bye cited gridlock when he left the senate in 2010. >> i feel olympia's pain. >> reporter: joe lieberman is retiring at the end of this year. >> people are sort of pulled apart by this process. >> reporter: in the house of representatives, 22 of 54 centrists blue dog democrats were defeated in the last election. to some degree, the disappearance of the middle is a reflection of the electorate. according to gallop, the percentage of americans who consider themselves moderate has dropped over the past 20 years. former reagan aide jeff bell says polarization can actually be helpful to a point. >> it's ugly. it's messy, but i think there are times in history when it's better than the alternative, which is everybody getting along on behalf of something that isn't that good. >> reporter: after 33 years in congress, snowe says she hasn't really thought about what she'll do next. >> reporter: now are you sure you made the right decision? >> i'll never know that. i think it is the right one. but i'll miss it. >> reporter: and her republican colleagues will miss her even if she bucked the party from time to time. olympia snowe was an odds on favorite to win re-election in maine in november, and republicans will struggle to hold on to that seat making their goal of retaking the senate that much more difficult. >> nancy, thank you. with us now one of the few moderates left on capitol hill. she's a democrat. she is senator claire mccass kill of missouri. good morning. >> good morning. >> tell me what you think is the reason for this and whether anything can be done about it and whether if no moderates are in the senate, what it will mean for how this country goes about its business. >> well, if we don't begin to take better care of the moderates in both parties in our democracy, it's not going to be pretty because if you look through history, charlie, all of the great work we've done in congress has been around a table of compromise when it comes to the most difficult problems. and the problem now is the two ends are getting all the amplification. the political system loves the extremes. it doesn't so much show a lot of love for the moderates. so it's really hard right now. >> do you believe this is happening in both parties, not just the republican party? >> i do believe it's happening in both parties, but particularly in the republican party because some of our republican moderate colleagues have been taken out by primaries from their right flank. so i think there seems to be more worry on behalf of the republican members that they have to adhere to a pretty extreme agenda or they get taken out in a primary process. >> what's interesting is elections are won in the senate. elections are won in the senate. >> that's true. in the house you have to remember, they're busy trying to draw those districts so that they are safe, which means they're trying to draw them so they're bright blue or bright red. i think the best hope to keep moderation on the hill is, in fact, in the senate where you have states like mine. you couldn't call my state a blue state under any stretch of the imagination. but there's a lot of independent voters that want me to be stubbornly independent. >> some people -- >> they don't want me to bow to harry reid. >> more people say we need a third party, a more independent party. >> you know, and that might happen down the line. for now i'm hoping that the business community in this country and that independent voters in this country tune in earlier to the process and begin to show some support for the people who are willing to say no to their party and yes to the american people. >> senator, i want to ask you about what's happening in afghanistan, especially as a member of the armed services committee. two more soldiers killed this morning. there's been some talk of speeding up the draw down. do you support that? >> i think we need to recalibrate many parts of our mission in afghanistan. in fact, i have an amendment right now to pull the reconstruction funds out of afghanistan that the military has asked for and put them in the highway trust fund in our country. they're blowing up the highways we build. we're having to pay off the bad guys to get enough security to build the projects that the military is building in afghanistan. it's hard enough for us to execute the mission of training their military and police. it's time for us to pull hundreds of millions of dollars for highways and electrical grids out of afghanistan and put it into the infrastructure in the united states. >> what would you have the president do? >> i would have the president say to the military, we're going to get out of the road building business and the electrical grid building business and the power generating business an we're going just focus on trying to help them establish rule of law. now clearly what's going on now is unacceptable and i feel for our soldiers over there. they are really unbelievably good at their jobs and to have this threat is really unconscionable that the people that they're training could turn their weapons on them at any moment. >> thank you, senator. thank you very much. this weekend israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu comes to washington to meet with president obama. it is a delicate moment in the u.s./israel relationship to say the least, as the two leaders try to sort out what to do about iran's nuclear facilities. chief white house correspondent nora o'donnell is with us. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the obama administration says there's still time and space to pursue diplomacy with iran. that may not be enough for the israelis. prime minister netanyahu plans to press president obama to state publicly and clearly that the u.s. red line is to prevent iran from gaining nuclear capability and not just a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: the last time president obama and israeli prime minister netanyahu met it did not go well and already the tension is building over whether the u.s. has done enough to prevent iran from developing a nuclear weapon. the israelis fear they would be a nuclear iran first target. on capitol hill secretary of defense leon panetta tried to reassure skeptics. >> we are committed not just to contain but to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. >> reporter: but secretary of state hillary clinton faced a tough audience. some staunch supporters of israel questioned their resolve. >> one of the red lines that the iranians cannot cross? >> i think it's probably smarter for us to be pressing on the sanctions and the negotiations. >> reporter: but netanyahu does not believe the sanctions have done enough and will press the president to do more. when asked what that could entail, white house press secretary jay carney said mr. obama will be specific and direct when the two meet next week. >> if israel attacks iran and iran retally it's, will we defend israel? >> that's a couple of ifs down the road. what i can say is we have an unshakeable commitment to israel's security. >> reporter: on capitol hill congress said it would support military action if it comes to that. >> the iranian regime will not be allowed to get nuclear capability. if that means military action, so be it. >> reporter: israel is worried that they'll enter a zone of immunity. iran has housed its program deep underground and it's believed that the pentagon has a deep bunker buster bomb that could penetrate those subterrainian chambers and take out the programs if necessary. charlie and erica?

>> we actually graduated medical school knowing more about how to treat malaria than obesity. it wasn't a billable diagnosisful a couple years ago. >> in your book you certainly shoot down my theory of calories in, calories out. >> that's right. >> you said it's so much more than that. >> that's right. we think all calories are the same. a thousand calories of broccoli and soda are different. they have different effects on your biology. a sixth grader would know that. most of the things we're using, like medication, are bringing us to an era of farm ged on. pharm ged on. stat ins cause memory loss and diabetes in women, who are taking -- >> you're saying that people have been prescribed, have had statins prescribed for them are wrong. >> that's correct. they're effective for people who have had a heart attack. they may do more harm than good if you haven't had a heart attack. >> you're scaring. me. they upped by cholesterol medication because it's not so great. you said the most important thing is what you put at the end of the fork as opposed to what's in a pill bottle. >> what you find on your fork is more powerful than at the bottom of a prescription bottle. the most powerful drug on the planet regulates thousands of genes, regulates hormones, reduces inflammation, helps prevent aging and it's something that's free almost and has no side effects and works for everybody and it's food. the key to this is insulin? >> that's right. if you make too much insulin. americans eat 150 pounds of sugar, 50 pounds much white flour, 53 gallons of soda. that makes your blood sugar go high and then low and then cycles of insulin and blood sugar swings that drives the belly fat which is the fat that causes these diseases. give us a great diet. i was just going to say that. he's got a six-week menu plan for breakfast, lunch dinner. >> we saw her on the view talking about how she's doing on jackie craig or something. >> charlie. it's jenny craig. >> that's the men's version. jackie craig. >> charlie doesn't have weight issues. jenny craig. the thing i like is that it's structured. >> improved health. >> is it goof proof? no. >> follow it and it works automaticalliment. the key to success is maintenance and changing what you eat and how you eat. >> back to charlie's question. >> i don't believe people should be on a diet. eat real food. eat real food. if in a box, package a can it's probably not good for you. if it came from a farmers field, it should be good. >> here come the bad news. bread is not real food, pasta is not real food. >> we have a crazy man at the table. >> bread is not real food? >> sa marian bread is good food. but it has double the amount of chromosomes, raises your blood sugar more than table sugar. >> i dare you, doctor, mott to have a pep ridge farm raisin bread. i dare you. >> there's some -- you can have the bread, let's say, one piece, but don't put the butter on it. am i right or wrong? >> you need protein with your meal. every breakfast, you should have protein. create a perfect plate. >> not three meals a day. >> three meals a day, two snacks. keep blood sugar even. >> he says eat early and often. >> how about wine? >> a little bit is good. a little more is bad. >> what's the difference? >> one glass. >> a day? >> with food. >> if you get a little buzz with an empty stamp okay. >> how about what? >> we're out of time. thank you so much. >> thank you, doctor. >> good to see you. well, we go from a rock star in the food world to a rock star in the kitchen. now he's got a magazine. i have to say it's got an interesting cover, david chang. he's a superstar chef. he tells us why he whipped up lucky peach. you're watching "cbs this morning." ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, dave chang is basically the man. he built restaurant empire faster than anybody and his food is delicious. >> meet chef david chang. one of new york city's brightest culinary stars. he's the chef and owner of several restaurants. >> david chang has won three james beard awards, which are the oscars for chefs. he's one of the most influential people of the it 1st century. >> he created lucky peach with peter meehan. it was declared -- david and peter, welcome. >> thanks for having us. >> quickly the magazine. gayle has a copy over there. >> this is what struck me about this. because you have a bleeding fish head, you have a chicken spud, you have a tattoo of a pig's leg. i'm thinking in the magazine lamb, we try to make it pretty. the cover. pretty and invitingment we want to draw you in. when i first saw it, i thought how in the world can this be good? that's what i thought. when i first opened it up. then i opened it up. what were you all thinking when you laund launched that with that kind of cover? >> we weren't thinking about what other people wanted. we thought what would be funny and interesting to us. >> there you go. there's the secret right there. >> yeah. >> it worked. like gayle said, that was the cover initially. but you open it up and inside beautiful, it's laid beautifully. creative i will strayings, it's fun and cheeky. it's not just a food magazine with recipes. what was your goal, david? what did you want out of the a magazine? >> we wanted to sort of tell stories and incorporate different food ideas that no one would find in other magazines. peter's writing is fantastic. our editors did a good job with it. >> there's an article, guys, it says who doesn't love cake with a runny middle? nobody. i mean, so you come up with articles that strike a nerve with people. >> that was a chance for us to acknowledge michelle and his contribution to cooking. he created that cake that trickled down to restaurants and supermarkets all over america. we paid tribute to the profession as well as document what we all love to eat. >> what's the most interesting thing happening in the food world today? is it restaurants? is it chefs? is it food? >> i think it's food, obviously, i think more chefs are becoming aware of their importance had term of the food chain and i think that the culture of chef has become something that's very strange. nobody really cared about it -- >> you should speak with the culture of chefs. i don't know of anyone ho has become more, more attention than you. you're around the world all the time. you're leaving to go to what, copenhagen, sweden. >> yes. >> you visit all the restaurants. i once said to gayle, he named someone else as a chef. who he helped me get to do a program for me. >> we hear about your awards, you're like the roger federer of tennis with no racket. you have a spatula. growing up, were you thinking, this is what i want to do? ? >> i wanted to grow up to be overrated, yeah. >> he was a golfer, too. as a young man he was. >> where did it come from, david? >> my dad was in the industry for like 25, 30 years. this is not the career he envisioned for his kid. but i didn't want to sit behind a desk. i wanted to do something i had passion for. i didn't want to look back, no regrets. >> what do you love about it? the whole idea of cooking? preparing food. >> it's the constant pursuit of perfection i guess. >> i like that. >> you're never going to obtain. peter has seen me and helped write about this in the magazine and the books. it's a very frustrating process. >> i'm fascinated by you, too, peter. you're a food critic. i often thought i could so do that job. your philosophy was go to a restaurant, review it three times. that's what i did too. i didn't know i was a critic. you give it three chances to see how good or bad they are. your passion for food comes from? >> it was a late in life discovery like chang's. i fell into it in my early 20s and pursued it from there. ended up at the "times." that was the job. you had to go three times to make sure the restaurants were up to snuff that you reviewed. >> what makes you two click?
