This interview mentions my uncle Larry Lubetzky – my Dad’s older brother.  I recall how as a child my Dad recounted his liberation by American soldiers.  It was many years later that I learned the platoon that rescued him was composed of all Asian-Americans – Japanese Americans to be specific. 

A few weeks ago my sister uncovered an interview by the Yale Archives of my Dad, from 1987, which I am embarrassed I had never seen, sharing his life’s story, including the dark episode of Dachau.  The video was dubbed into DVD and I made several hundred copies.  If anyone wants one, please reply to this posting, or email me or call our office at +1 212 616 3006 x104 and I will gladly send you a copy – while supplies last.

My briefing at the Pentagon

Published under Funnies, United States Mar 31, 2010

IMG_0964

Ok, ok, this picture is actually a joke.  I was at the Pentagon, but I just asked an officer to stand there by this podium they keep at the visitors center for silly visitors like me to take a picture.

The pentagon is like a city unto itself, and the building includes all the shops and services one could imagine needing.

It’s no surprise that some food labels are misleading or contain empty health claims. KIND recognizes all this fluff and our way to be transparent and fight the marketing gimmicks is by just truly using simple ingredients you can see and pronounce. A recent report examines food labeling and calls for changes in labeling policies, but with KIND, what you see is what you get.
