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?

Larry, those were my CEO and Key Executives roundtables to whom you spoke and there was nothing but superlatives for your work. I especially like the way you make your message about your attendees and make your message about healthy living both understandable and attainable.
Let's be clear, though, that the traditions you observed at White Sox Park are not limited to the south side. You'll find the same standing for the third out in the ninth inning on the north side for the Cubs at Wrigley Field. You'll also find hot dogs and bratwurst.
Thanks for a couple of great sessions for my groups.
