This was sky tower this morning at 3 00 and the storms are still well off the coastline.

And has a third big win made donald trump unstoppable . We are winning, win, winning ning, winning the country. What trumps victory in nevada means for the president ial race, and also ahead. I am going to shopping for some answers but we are still going for the Grocery Store because you want to know what the word natural means more f we won the evangelicals, we won with young, we won with old Donald Trumps big winning streak goes on. His win in nevada secures his role as the clear republican front runner and he is showing no signs of slowing down. But tonight his republican rivallers rivals are not giving up without a fight. Buoyed but his third win in a row. I can forgive, im pretty good that. Thing were said that are lies, frankly, and i wont ive got to be a good person, at least for the next hour, im sorry. Votes cast, trump got 49. 1 , and trump has not won a majority of votes in any state and so cruz is voicing his hope that some candidates will drop out to consolidate that vote. Rubio cruise, and john kasich have to face off with trump in his own state soon, and others have doordie races in their own states, endorsed by Texas Governor greg abbot, he called this the most important day ofort entire election. We cant get this wrong. The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the dancing bears has passed. Trump will have races in 25 major cities coming up in the figure out how to win in texas, a loss there would be lethal. The president is considering nevada governor sandoval for his nominee who is a republican. The senate says they will block republican. Doing his job. I recognize that the poll politics are hard for them because the east sider thing to do east easier thing to do is give in to the most extreme voices in their own party and stand pat and do nothing, but that is not our job. Our job is to fulfill our constitutional duties. Republicans believe it should be up to the next president to decide. Well, natural is a word you will find all over the Grocery Store because we wondered what we asked our consumer reporter chris chmura to define natural for us and im interested to see what you found out. I went shopping and take a look at some of these products. They are natural kelley, do you see the word natural on this anyway. Oh, yes, it does. And how about that one there . It says all natural. Does this mean organic . It does not, actually. What do you think it means. Manufactures by mother nature. That is a possibility. I would think it would mean organic or healthier. Thats what you would think. We were surprised to discover that the legal federal definition yes . There isnt one, soornd and so lets open up the dictionary. Definition according to the fda and so if its undefined there is no telling what it means when you visit the Grocery Store. Food producers can slap natural on whatever they want and whenever they said but that they want but that is going to change. The fda is asking for public input so define the word and so when you shop what do you want in a product that is labeled natural, this is going to play out similar to the way the department defined organic. They went through the same thing, actually several years worth of Public Comments back and forth and proposed rules that were commented on again, and so there are organic rules in place now. So organic is strictly defined. Qualifications to put the word organic on food but between now and may 10, the fda is asking for your definition of the word natural. And i encourage you to speak up this is our chance to change the law, especially when you might pay more for a product that says natural. There should be a benchmarks. I would be willing to bet that xantham gum is not natural. Its entirely possible that it would not qualify, especially if you are the one who developing that definition. And what pits is pitfalls might we see. There is a lot of money in this clearly
