A recent article in the New York Times reported that Weight Watchers has overhauled its old point system whereby an apple was previously counted equal to an Oreo 100-calorie snack pack.  It is great to see that Weight Watcher’s recognizes that all calories are not created equal, and even better to see them encourage members to practice healthy snacking.

Watch this amazing video of a 19 year old girl named Rachel.  Despite having down syndrome, Rachel performed with her cheering squad in front of 1,300 people, which was enough to catch CBS’s attention.  What could be a better example of a KINDING than this?

The fierce entrepreneurial spirit that founded KIND, really shines true in this segment from Entrepreneur Magazine.  In this video, Daniel does a great job capturing KIND’s spirit and vision and we are so proud to call him our CEO! Check it out here:

I just had a great lunch with Jamie Oliver at his restaurant on my recent trip to London. Jamie has done amazing work with his cooking talents and has inspired many, many people to eat healthy and enjoy their food and cooking.  We had a great discussion about various ideas for collaboration to fight the obesity epidemic and continue his mission to give back to the food industry.  Check out this video below to see just how inspiring Jamie’s mission is to teach every child about food!

Like this West Village sign says, “If we all do one random act of kindness daily, we just might set the world in the right direction.”  What a great reminder to see when walking down the street.  Thank you Natalie for sharing this great picture with us!

A recent New York Times Magazine cover article promoted many self starters working to fill voids in the developing world who embody the old slogan “where there’s a will, there’s a way.” By quoting stories of D.I.Y. volunteerism (as in, Do It Yourself), Nicholas Kristof makes it clear that a passionate and determined individual holds tremendous power.  Although Kristof reveals that many of the self starters who set out to do good, run into many obstacles along the way, and although he the large possibility of failure in tackling the world’s largest problems, the reason this article is so inspiring is because it presents the possibilities that exist for those with a open heart and creative mind.  This article is really worth a read; the philosophy that one person can change the world through KINDNESS, is exactly what we believe in here at KIND.
