...place, eating continues to be a game of Russian roulette for the food-allergic. Which is why some researchers are trying to find a better way to treat allergies than simply advising their patients to avoid certain foods.

"It's the first generation of treatment that would make people less or even no longer allergic," says Dr. Wesley...

That courage was on full display on Feb. 26, when Starbucks closed all 7,100 of its company-owned U.S. stores (4,000 licensed locations remained open) for three hours to retrain 135,000 baristas. Part of the training involved the correct way to pull an espresso: into a shot glass, not a paper cup, a shortcut that had evolved to move the line more quickly. It was a strong statement that Starbucks cares about quality--with a clear shot glass...
