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.

A Call by Howard Schultz for All of Us to Seize Back the Agenda for Governance
Published under Leadership, United States Jul 02, 2012The 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.
