TED
There are a LOT of helpful and
useful videos available on the internet. You can educate yourself on
almost any subject by watching a video at TED.
Here are some examples in our area of interest:
In this fiery and funny talk, New York Times food writer Mark Bittman weighs in on what's wrong with the way we eat now (too much meat, too few plants; too much fast food, too little home cooking), and why it's putting the entire planet at risk.
Sharing powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, W. Va., TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food.
Every day there are news reports of new health advice, but how can you know if they're right? Doctor and epidemiologist Ben Goldacre shows us, at high speed, the ways evidence can be distorted, from the blindingly obvious nutrition claims to the very subtle tricks of the pharmaceutical industry.
11-year-old Birke Baehr presents his take on a major source of our food -- far-away and less-than-picturesque industrial farms. Keeping farms out of sight promotes a rosy, unreal picture of big-box agriculture, he argues, as he outlines the case to green and localize food production.
Speaking at the 2007 EG conference, "renegade lunch lady" Ann Cooper talks about the coming revolution in the way kids eat at school -- local, sustainable, seasonal and even educational food.
.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell is the author of the largest epidemiological nutrition study in history: The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health
.
His opinions in general are more extreme than most people need to be. But he is spot on in this video - focusing on nutrients is a scam.

The
Beautiful Truth featuring Dying to Have Known & The Gerson
Miracle [Blu-ray]
Here's the truth. The claims made in these movies are pretty far-reaching. But there is nothing that defies reason
and there is no evidence proving the claims are false. None of us are completely convinced but we all believe there is something to this. Make up your own
mind. Plus, it's 3 movies for the price of 1. Blu-ray only.
