On my way home from working in Phoenix this week, I watched a couple of TED talks. You veterans of this blog know that I love TED. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It brings together leaders of many areas and they have roughly 20 minutes to get their message across. I love learning others point of view, discoveries, and conclusions. I sometimes agree with them. And, I sometimes don’t.
Yesterday, I found the two talks very compelling. They were about FOOD. The first is from a lady who is in charge of feeding all the kids in a No. Cal. school district. She rages against the USDA and all of us, really, for being careless when it comes to what and how we feed our children. Anyone with kids should watch her.
The second one is from a guy I’ve seen and read quite a bit during the last couple years, Mark Bittman (NYTimes food contributor). His view on food is framed more by saving the planet from climate change (which I care less about than he and the liberal machine would like.) Nevertheless, the information about our food, how we’ve changed how we eat, and WHY we’ve changed, and what it’s doing to us is important.
