Clinton’s Vision: Aligning Business and Philanthropy

2012-01-24T16:16:00.000-08:00

As positive examples, Clinton cites his experiences in Haiti with the Digicel Group, which employs 70,000 people, and a fund for entrepreneurs established by billionaires Carlos Slim and Frank Giustra. He lauds companies such as Walmart, Google, and Procter & Gamble for having “shifted their corporate culture from promoting social responsibility to increasing shared value.” He references the shift in the pharmaceutical industry from a “low-volume, high-margin business to a low-margin, high-volume one with guaranteed payments” that is helping millions of people with HIV/AIDS “at much lower costs while also improving the profitability of the companies involved.” http://www.nonprofitquarterly.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19306:clintons-vision-aligning-business-and-philanthropy&catid=155:nonprofit-newswire&Itemid=986

Former President Bill Clinton Brings Important Health Message To The Humana Challenge

In fact, President Clinton was the keynote speaker at Tuesday's national health and well-being conference titled, "Health Matters; Activating Wellness in Every Generation."

Charity alone will not solve the world’s problems. Capitalism can help and at the same time put people back to work. There has always been a gap between what the government can provide and what the private sector can produce, a gap charities have long helped to fill.

Clinton intertwined his message with his memories of Hope, who died at age 100 in 2003.

Norman Finds Comfort Zone With Clinton

2012-01-18T17:25:00.000-08:00

Greg Norman did not expect to like President Bill Clinton, whose politics he opposed.“I actually was very reluctant to do it because I’m a bit more pro-Republican than I am a Democrat,” he said Wednesday. Norman added: “And I didn’t really like the way the first two years of his presidency was going. I just didn’t feel comfortable with it from my own personal beliefs. So I actually came to a judgment decision saying I don’t want to play because of his political position.”

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 8grams 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 5 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? http://video.msnbc.msn.com/nightly-news/46032064/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter#46032064

Bill Clinton Has a Healthy Appetite for Diet Books

2012-01-02T09:00:00.000-08:00

His first three endorsements of diets, which came during the original 2010 Wolf Blitzer interview, foreshadowed his recent burst. “This movement has been lead by a doctor named Caldwell Esselstyn Jr. at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Dean Ornish out in California, the doctors [T. Colin and Thomas] Campbell, father and son.” This foursome has produced a collection of notable diet books: Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Esselstyn; Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease and the Campbells’ China Study. The common message of these doctor-authors, based on decades of studies, is that not only can heart disease be headed off, it can be reversed by a spare yet nutritious diet.
