Yes…the word is finally getting out that America needs a reality check on their eating habits. If there is any one way to start to get the message across America it is through Oprah!

There is nothing worse than being stranded without food in an airport (well maybe a few things!). Even though I consider myself someone who is well prepared when travelling and always planning ahead – it doesn’t always work out that way.
