Do you follow the NBA much? I don't nearly as much as the NFL or MLB, but when I do, the Spurs are by far my favorite team, so I was particularly happy to hear that they have adopted a new food and nutrition program.
Why it is included here is that the same ideas they use shuold be implemented around homes. For instance haivng fruits around rather than potato chips.
The Ferry in the article is Danny Ferry (former player himself and now assistant GM of the Spurs).
"What surprised Ferry was the type of food available to the players on the team's charter flights. In addition to the usual meal options, the Spurs typically had an overhead container filled with an assortment of potato chips. Flight attendants patrolled the aisle offering ice cream and chocolate-chip cookies"
Spurs decide you are what you eat / Skipping the junk food helps increase energy and stamina: "'The intention and goal is not to turn them into a bunch of granola- eating food whackos,' said Danny Ferry, who has helped oversee the program as the team's assistant general manager. 'If that's the direction they want to take, that's fine. We just want to put them in a situation where they have healthy options in front of them.'"
