The slow pace of offering a wide selection of low calorie items and smaller servings on menus at U.S. restaurant chains
11/29/2009
Studies of women eating at restaurants show the lack of healthy choices and frequency of visits to restaurants can have a large effect on obesity. Women eating 5 or more times a week at restaurants risk taking in about 290 extra calories a day than women eating out less often, according to one study. Obesity is one of the biggest challenges facing the U.S. The hidden costs of obesity through the wider spread of diabetes and other diseases are a large part of America's healthcare cost problem. The slow progress in tackling this continues.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
