Big food, big pharma, the media---all play a role in the obesity crisis (among other crises we are trying to manage). @ChildrensHD covers this complex issue in this article where I am cited. Check it out! #obesity #bigpharma #bigfood #bigproblems

Caffeine often gets a bad rap--it can help with focusing and maintaining energy, but how much is too much? I talked with @LIVESTRONG_COM about how to know when you are drinking too much, and what you can do instead. #coffee #caffeine

@Food4RX @metabolicsumm1t @ShawnModel @4dietaryreform @drchatterjeeuk @Rainbowchefs @robertlufkinmd @michaelgoran @ElisaSongMD @kitchenstew @JennEdden @austinperlmd @BrianLenzkes @drmowll @drjkahn @jen_unwin @ifixhearts @SugarFreeNation @IAmSugarFreeMan @atemple28 sounds like the exact opposite of the definition of volunteering! Same reason why other parents let their teens drink alcohol, or have co-ed sleepovers. Parent your way. You know what is best, and bring the veggies anyway

I was shocked to see how many different "juice concentrates" aka sugars, PLUS alternative sweeteners are in @MichelleObama's new Plezi drinks. Really? We can do better.
