Okay, we’re cheating a little this week and perhaps this post would be better named “What We’re Watching…” ’cause that’s been the preferred method of media consumption this week. A friend of mine reminded me of some excellent TED | Talks that I’d encouraged him to listen to a few months back.
- Mark Bittman on what’s wrong with what we eat
- Paul Stamets on 6 ways mushrooms can save the world
- Michael Pollan gives a plant’s eye view
But of course, as inspiring as these talks were, I was hungry for more and just yesterday, stumbled upon TED’s new lists, which allow users to order talks based on user ratings on criteria such as “most beautiful”, “most jaw-dropping”, “most ingenious” and “funniest.”
I think I’ve got some new favorites…
- Ann Cooper talks school lunches
- Dean Ornish on the world’s killer diet
- Adam Grosser and his sustainable fridge
- Matthieu Richard on the habits of happiness
Got any favorites?

Please, order short or medium brown rice from a better company ASAP. The brown rice from Texas is HORRIBLE. It takes a long time to sort out diseased kernals: brown, orange, black or with black spots. After all this work, cooked rice still has some black kernals and it tastes very bad!!! And I started having headaches!!!
Thank you.
