There is a quiet, almost invisible, epidemic plaguing America's truckers.
According to studies, truckers suffer from all of the problems bothering the American
public...Type II diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, etc...just more so. Because of
this, way too many drivers go permanently 10-7 before their time!

It's all about the lifestyle. You're faced with poor diets, no exercise, fatigue, and stress.
Driving hour limitations and regulations force unusual sleep patterns adding to stress
and fatigue. On top of that, your food choices are limited by truck stop restaurants, life
in the sleeper for days or weeks at a time, and loss of family and social contacts while
on the road. Add to that the strain of constant long distance traveling, and many may
seek comfort in food.
Improving nutrition is one piece of the puzzle to help truckers decrease their risk for
disease, including hypertension, type II diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and
some types of cancer. Making these changes will benefit not only you, the trucker, but
also the driving public in general. A healthy driver is more alert; an alert driver is safer,
and that benefits everyone on the road.
And, with costs for fuel and equipment skyrocketing, it's only reasonable for smart
drivers/businessmen to consider taking control of their living expenses while they are
on the road.
Pam Whitfield and Don Jacobson want to help you change. Take charge of your
meals...and take charge of your life... with Road Cookin'...a community dedicated to
helping truckers eat smart.
Join Pam and Don To Fight MS!
We have accepted a challenge on behalf of the 20,000 individuals in Illinois
and millions across America whose lives have been touched by multiple
sclerosis. From Friday, June 20 through Sunday, June 22, 2008, we will be
joining over 2,000 cyclists and hundreds of volunteers in the Bike MS: Tour
de Farms...150 miles in 2 days of riding across Northern Illinois.
People living with MS overcome challenges everyday: to walk, to have energy
to go to the store, to have the will power not to give up. That is why it is so
important to us that we support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and
we need your help to turn our goals into a reality.
We have accepted the challenge to raise funds in the fight against MS and
you can help me get there. Please pledge your support today!
Now, there is a bit of friendly rivalry...between Pam and Don, that is.
