I’m traveling, just landed in Milwaukee. There was a Starbucks, and since I woke up at 4:10 am to get here, I wheeled in for a small back jolt wakefulness before heading to my parade of meetings.<\/p>\n

Bottom line: If we give people solid, simple health information, they can be empowered to make better informed choices. Net calorie savings, about 400 calories! <\/p>\n
