Starbucks...Trimming the "Fat" |
| 1/29/2009 7:03:28 AM |
I am reminded of a story a client of mine once told me...
Originally from Michigan, he picked up and move to Seattle to attend college at The University of Washington in the 70's. His father was a successful professor and businessman and had made many wise stock investments - IBM, McDonalds, WalMart, etc...all did very well in the 80's. One day he called his father and...

The Oprah Factor... |
| 1/25/2009 9:30:07 AM |
When Oprah endorses something, people take action...it is a well known fact that she has a great following, and has built a huge business around that network. But what makes Oprah so believable...especially when it comes to dieting?
She has publicly stated she is back on the Best Life Diet. I just saw Oprah being criticized on one of those entertainment shows - "Here... Read More |

Maybe The Peanut Recall is a Blessing...? |
| 1/21/2009 9:13:35 PM |
| Obviously I don't applaud anyone being sick, and certainly the deaths associated with the recall are nothing less than tragic...but from the sounds of it this recall may save Americans some otherwise "extra pounds." First of all, taking peanut products off the shelves won't hurt anyone's diet. Contrary to what many believe, peanuts are not a good source of... Read More |

A Day Off For Kids Pays Off... |
| 1/19/2009 2:21:26 PM |
It is MLK Day, a day off from school, and my kids and some of the neighbor's kids took it upon themselves to create their own business today - washing cars in the neighborhood! It is sunny and 75 degrees today, but this took me back a bit - this is not the youth of America...or is it?

Coca Cola Under FDA Scrutiny. |
| 1/12/2009 9:16:33 PM |
| Coca-Cola came out with a new product - Diet Coke Plus "With Vitamins & Minerals". The FDA is saying that Coke cannot make these claims. They say that Diet Coke doesn't have enough nutrients alone to claim "plus" and that it is inappropriate to add extra nutrients to snack foods and carbonated beverages. The FDA's requests for change have been... Read More |

It Pays (Really Pays!!) to Be Healthy |
| 1/11/2009 11:44:06 AM |
Did you see the recent report that shows being healthy actually pays off! People who are healthier, earn higher incomes. Consequently, being unhealthy gets you less money and less opportunity for success in life.
It has sort of a "rich get richer" affect...I guess you call it a "healthier get richer" affect in this case. But those who are healthy earn... Read More |
