Americans are obese. Plain, simple. But, why? Is it the evil butter we place in our skillet while we cook our veggies or maybe that salt we sprinkle on our eggs in the morning?

Rachael Ray recently had some chef’s on discussing their weight-loss stories and tips. I can only imagine what it is like being surrounded by incredible food all day and having the job of making sure everything taste’s great before it goes to the tables.

You know, it does seem like an odd series of events. Only a few people have noted the conflicting news.
Rachael Ray has begun a partnership with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation at the same time that her Dunkin’ Donuts promotion is kicking in. Hmmm…let’s fight childhood obesity, but first take a quick detour by […]
