Diet Is Destroying Workers’ Competitiveness

At the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century, the number one concern for Americans is jobs, and the primary topic for politicians is job creation.

In order to ready our workers, there are three major issues that need to be addressed:

1) Most American Are Too Sick to Compete in the World Market

Most employees feel so poorly on a day-to-day basis that they dread starting their workday.

Bob's Red Mill Founders and the Institute of Nutrition and Wellness at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU)

OHSU is the institution that conducts the McDougall Research and Education Foundation-funded study on Diet and Multiple Sclerosis

With a $25 million grant, announced on September, 16, 2011, the Bob and Charlee Moore Institute for Nutrition and Wellness was established at OHSU for the purpose of studying the link between food and common health conditions, such as hypertension, heart disease, type-2 diabetes, autism, and obesity. The institute will have five main areas of research: childhood obesity, maternal and fetal medicine, epigenetics (the way nutrition affects genetics), community outreach, and education. This was one of the largest donations ever given to OHSU.
