...design its 15 hotels and the 12 more coming this year, Anhut says the company looked to retailers such as Barnes & Noble, Starbucks and Nordstrom rather than demographics for inspiration and used retail-store designers to create some of the spaces. Anhut, like McGuinness, talks about a hotel that provides an experience--notes to guests are written in haiku, and the staff comes from behind the desks to help with luggage or discuss the best local restaurants. "Their customer is maybe a little more conservative than Aloft," says Chris Woronka, an analyst who follows the hotel industry for Deutsche Bank...
Unlike Ledezma, Jacob Goddard, 13, has a diet few urban teens would recognize. A typical meal at his family's Montana ranch includes beef carved fresh from local cattle, served with homemade bread and garden-grown vegetables. "Our beef tastes better than what you get at the store," Goddard says proudly, "because it's not full of antibiotics and it's fed grass, not corn." We watched the homeschooled Goddard as he worked off calories wrestling calves on branding...
...weight problem; obesity is rampant in the 30,000-member community, and half the residents over the age of 40 have Type 2 diabetes.

...diet and seemed a little daunted. "I'm still trying to process it all," she said a few days later. But Rachel's child is more fortunate than many of Ludwig's patients.

(Weaning her son off the snack food Pirate's Booty, she admitted, might be another story.) But not everyone is so fortunate, like a patient who visits soon after, an 11-year-old African-American girl...
...Despite the image we might have of the abundance and open spaces of the countryside, Americans living in isolated rural communities also tend to have few places to walk and play and few convenient options for decent food. "You have to drive miles and miles to find a grocery store," says Jan Probst, who directs the South Carolina Rural Health Research Center at the University of South Carolina. Indian reservations are often the most extreme example of this rural nutritional isolation. The Pine Ridge reservation is nearly 3,500 sq. mi. (9,000 sq km)--more than half the size...
