emocracy" for providing the wherewithal to defeat fascism.
Prior to America's involvement in World War II, however, General
otors, through its German subsidiary Opel, wound up providing

Dear
Barb a
frequent busi-
ness traveler.
Unfortunately,
I tend to slip
into my old, not-so-healthy eating
habits when I'm traveling. Any
suggestions? Thanks, Ted.

nswer: Dear Ted, As a not-
infrequent traveler myself,
I can certainly empathize
with your situation.
As with most weight loss/mainte-
nance strategies, planning is key.
Here are some personal be-
haviors that I've found very
helpful when I'm traveling:
• Buy a small, insulated,
lunch box-sized food con-
tainer to carry your own
food;
) • Put your healthy, non-
liquid foods in small,
sealed plastic containers*
and pack those in your
insulated "lunch box";
• Allow yourself time to eat
before traveling, and forego
airport/airline food and hotel
snacks in favor of your healthy
food whenever possible;
• Don't go to appointments hungry.
For much more information on the
subject, I recommend a great little
book called The Traveler's Diet:
Eatin. g Right and Staying Fit on
the Road by Peter Greenberg.
* You may want to use small
frozen packs or frozen food items
to keep your food cold—of course,
you should always check the
airline's rules in advance.
