TED Talks about Food.

The TED Conference was last week. TED is a foundation that organizes events where people they chose talk for eighteen minutes about "ideas worth spreading". This time around two of my favorites foodies were invited. After watching the talks I knew that the families of ChildRoots would find these of interest.

This is Jamie Oliver's talk about children and the modern American diet. I've alway been a fan of Jamie Oliver's approach to food. His food is simple, clean and fresh. This talk is centers on a television show that Jamie currently filming, so it comes off a little like a commercial, the message still very relevant.

The next respectable foodie is Mark Bittman, I'm sure a familiar name amongst CR parents. A cookbook author and food writer for the New York Times, his perspective on the state of food today is sensible and sustainable.

This other talk was suggested because of the other two. Ann Cooper (the renegade lunchlady) is the head of nutrition for the Berkeley, CA schools. She has proven that using organic, locally sourced food in schools can work. 


There is a food revolution coming, ChildRoots is proud to be a part of it.
