“We are greatly saddened by the passing of Ed Malloy, a true public servant to New York and our country. For years we were proud to call him a friend as he labored tirelessly to transform the construction industry, provide New York with the best infrastructure possible and open doors for thousands of New Yorkers to begin their careers in the building trades.

Fighting childhood obesity will take all hands on deck, see what the Clinton Foundation is doing.
How can you help? I want to teach all folks how to correctly read food labels. It is much trickier than you may think.
This is definitely an important cause. Now if I can bring to Clinton's attention this: Learning how to read food labels is very important BUT I am finding many have errors. For example, how can a Thomas English muffin with enriched wheat flour as the #1 ingredient have 5 grams of fiber per serving size listed but another Thomas English muffin of the same weight in grams state whole wheat flour as the #1 ingredient but only has 3 grams of fiber in equal serving size? This example is not due to one company trying to outdo the other. When 2 companies are compared I have observed even more errors. How can this be? Aren't these food labels required to be accurate?
