Today, Daniel was interviewed by Fox Business News in a segment depicting how influential the private sector can be in America’s fight against obesity.  Daniel’s interview was part of the ongoing  debate on whether the Government should police healthy eating, and this segment reinforces how influential entrepreneurial solutions can be. Even though Daniel admitted to having a sweet tooth (keep any and all funnel cake sticks away!) it is clear from this segment that KIND’s unbounded devotion to health and deliciousness will be key ingredients in helping American’s maintain healthy lifestyles.

This video, launched by Entrepreneur Magazine encapsulates some of the attributes that made KIND’s Daniel Lubetzky win the 2010 Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and carries new meaning since the Award was announced.  Among the key lessons: build a supportive environment for a super-star team, and use technology to simplify life, and food, rather than to complicate it.

This past week, twenty OneVoice Youth Leaders participated in the annual Nablus Marathon, along with Prime Minister Salam Fayyad and approximately 5000 other participants.  At the end of the marathon, the Youth Leaders, clad in OneVoice tee-shirts, had collected visions of 2018 from their huffing and puffing peers along the course.

The marathon itself is a concrete sign of nation building, and the Youth Leader’s participation, is a sign of the peaceful nation that will hopefully continue to be built.
