Check out Larry Olmsted’s discovery of KRAVE Jerky in ‘Best American Food Trends‘ in Forbes. Olmstead writes, “It is simply the best packaged jerky I have ever tasted.”
I recently invested in the company because I too LOVE the snack’s exceptional quality and admire how KRAVE is redefining what jerky can be, just as KIND redefined the healthy snack and nutrition bar categories, and more recently the granola and cereal category. I recommend KRAVE’s Basil Citrus flavor. It’s refined, elegant, elevated, and bursting with flavor!

This dialogue with Gershon Baskin, Chairman of the Israeli-Palestinian Centre For Research and Information (ICPRI), provides an informative history and analysis of past and future attempts at peace between Israel and Palestine. From his insights, we learn that we need to empower the moderates to change the reality and create a lasting peace at this opportune time.

This article and the underlying study reaffirm that nutritionally rich low glycemic foods are the key to preventing weight gain, as opposed to obsessing about less calories and avoiding healthy fats from nuts or proteins in favor of carbohydrates that may have less calories per gram but will keep you hungry and spike up your sugar levels. That is why at KIND we avoid empty calories and we focus on minimally processed nutritionally rich ingredients you can see and pronounce.

The New York Times ran this article about the power Dr. Oz (who I count as a dear friend) has in increasing magazine sales when he is on the cover, and the extraordinary success his TV show and persona have achieved. While the article accurately highlights some of the reasons behind his success – ie, that he commands trust and is attractive and a versatile medical authority – I think his single greatest strength is his authenticity as a human being. He is extremely down to earth, loyal, and a truly good human being who wants to help others, always. And viewers and readers can sense it.

“It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow’s viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences.”
-Harry S. Truman

This New York Times piece by Mark Bittman argues that “not all calories are made equal.” In order to maintain a healthy diet, we need to embrace lower glycemic diets of unprocessed foods, or as we say at KIND, foods made from natural ingredients you can see & pronounce.

David Ludwig, Director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center, concludes, “It’s time to reacquaint ourselves with minimally processed carbs. If you take three servings of refined carbohydrates and substitute one of fruit, one of beans and one of nuts, you could eliminate 50 percent of diet-related disease in the United States. These relatively modest changes can provide great benefit.”

The poll mentioned in this article indicates that we have a lot of work to do in order to help Israelis and Palestinians visualize that ending the conflict is possible IF they take matters into their own hands to make it happen. So long as people don’t believe that peace can come about, they will not invest themselves in helping bring it about, and it will be a self-fulfilling negative prophecy.

The attached ad appeared across different newspapers this past weekend. I am immensely inspired by Howard’s leadership on this front. Partisanship is the source of stagnation in DC and across the Statehouses, at a time when we desperately and urgently need leadership to address all the policy challenges we face, including the financial and trade deficits, the education system, our foreign policy, and the overall challenge of special interests and extremist agendas overtaking the greater interests of society. If we as citizens cede the stage, these challenges will not be resolved.
