We're big fans of the intelligent consumer publication, "Eat this, not that." Its a very informative newsletter that brings alarming dietary facts to consumers, and offers sensible, tasty solutions. The staff at Skinny Café has used the information in our daily lives, and we're healthier - and happier because of it. I encourage everyone to sign up for their free newsletter.
