The Vending Machine Reimagined

 

 
Last week, a vending machine appeared in my office…

Not the typical clear-front dispensary with the usual snacks, or those upgraded coffee machines with cappuccino or latte offerings. This was something else: a supersized, sleek and modernized beverage machine. On the menu were matcha lattes, mango teas, and a full range of coffee drinks — everything ordered and purchased through an app.

The machine is a product of G&A Robot, a Canadian company just entering the U.S. market. Their robotic beverage machines craft over 100 customizable drinks. Globally, there are already 450 machines stationed across Canada, the UK, and the Netherlands. This one, stationed in a co-working space we happen to share in New York City, is their first in the U.S. Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami are next.

Although it’s designed to be self-explanatory, Micheal Lee, the G&A Robot CEO of America, who is heading up the U.S. expansion, walked me through how to order a beverage. I chose the Mango Milk Tea. Right away a big attraction was the ability to control the sugar level. A small detail, but one that felt very nutritionally now. Read More

Is Triathlon Camp the New Spa Vacation?

 
 
LUCY DANZIGER AT THE NATIONAL TRAINING CENTER POOL

 
For some people, the answer is yes!

Lucy Danziger and I have been friends, colleagues, and sport buddies for over 30 years. When she texted me pictures from a triathlon training camp, all excited and calling it her version of a spa vacation, I asked her to please write a story for SOS! Lucy, a former competitive triathlete who still loves to train like one, made me want to join her at the National Training Center (NTC) – and I’m not a triathlete (although I do enjoy all three sports). But as Lucy shares in her story, all are welcome here, from Olympic athletes to everyday athletes who just want to train like one…

Swim, Bike, Run, Bliss by Lucy Danziger

Some people dream of spa getaways — plush robes, cucumber water, and hours of pampering. Not me. My version of luxury? Three workouts a day — swim, bike, run — in any order, with little else on the schedule except eating and sleeping. So when I headed to a weeklong triathlon training camp at the National Training Center (NTC) in Clermont, Florida, it felt like I’d checked into paradise… just with a lot more sweat and “real” athletes everywhere you look.

Once upon a time I could call myself a competitive triathlete, since getting on the podium was a realistic goal and I would do about four long-course races a year, along with several shorter ones. But these days I’m just looking to get fit and healthy, have fun, and get back in the game, even if my “running” is now a steady trot due to an old ski injury and achy knee from surgery in my twenties. Everyone in triathlon has a strength (always biking for me) and a limiter (it used to be swimming, but now instead of getting out of the water with the backstrokers, I manage to arrive at my bike rack in the middle of the pack).

The Quarterback Kid

 

QUARTERBACK CHRISTIAN WRAGGE

Christian Wragge is a 9-year-old football player with an arm of an NFL quarterback. I’m exaggerating, but when you see him throw, the ball spiraling through the air for almost half the length of a football field, hanging airborne before it finally drops into the arms of a young receiver, it’s jaw-dropping. He’s in third grade.

I’ve known Christian since he was 3 years old. His mom is our contributing nutrition editor, Sarah Wragge, and his father is CBS News New York This Morning co-anchor Chris Wragge. I follow them both on Instagram, and when Chris started posting videos of Christian playing football, I became obsessed. Yes, they are filmed like NFL highlight reels, but I couldn’t believe the arm on this kid. We’ve done sport phenoms and prodigy stories before, but this one might be the greatest story yet to be told. Read More
