TABLE FOR TWO was actually founded in Japan in 2007, and has been extremely successful there. Now the program has expanded to 11 countries on "this side" of the imaginary table. It would be great if - as you say - the program can be expanded much more, and we can help promote healthy eating in a truly global way. Please sign up for the webinar on Tuesday if your schedule allows. Best, Fumi Michael,

We really believe TFT model is simple but unique. Please help us spread the word! Someone like you can make a difference. We hope to reach Mr. Shultz someday :) I am sure he would like TFT as Starbucks has been contributing to society with its partner such as (RED). Thank you Michael for your warm message!

Not knowing the history of TFT then, I understand this to be the beginning but just a beginning and it is a concept that I believe can be expanded beyond the original goal to every campus and every restaurant period. By the way , Starbucks is classified as in the restaurant industry so ask Howard Schultz if a nickel, dime or quarter, depending on price of the drink or food item sold in their every increasing number of restaurants, could be donated from the expensive coffee and other drinks sold. Additionally, reaching people at the college age with this concept and action adds hope that when the participants are out in the working world they be willing to contribute to TFT in an expanded model, if that is where you will take this, which I hope and believe that you will.
