I just returned from Chicago where I spoke to a group of corporate executives. It was a great trip and I had a chance to visit my daughter and husband and their great kids.
I was fortunate to experience several American traditions.
1. Watching the home team the White Sox win at the U.S Cellular Park.
2. Hotdogs are plentiful and still one of America’s favourite pastimes. You could smell the scent of juicy bratwurst, Italian and Kosher hotdogs in the air.
3. In the Chicago tradition, everyone in the baseball park stands up from their seats once there is only 1 remaining out in the ninth inning.
The other tradition I observed wasn’t the best one-that the statistics from the Center of Disease Control on the number of individuals that were overweight and obese were correct. The obesity rate in adults has climbed to 32.9% from 15.0% in 1980.
How do we get back to mindful rather than mindless eating?
