TED Talks: Responsible Eating

I LOVE TED Talks!

I've been trying to watch 2 to 3 TED videos each week. It's like free continuing education and your professors happen to be the experts in their fields!

My latest viewing theme is related to food. Mark Bittman and Jamie Oliver (this year's TED winner) both give dynamic speeches about the importance of healthy eating and consequences of unhealthy (or, "convenient") eating.

We kill 10 billion animals a year. To put that in perspective, there are only about 6 billion people on Earth. These talks totally confirm my belief in practicing "flexitarianism" - eating meat in true moderation (I only eat chicken and turkey).

Class Act: My Baby's Father's Facebook Account

Shaka Cobb (for real) and Ebony Smith, two teachers in Atlanta, recently got in a heated, violent dispute in front of students regarding quite the interesting love triangle.

You see, Shaka was like, "Bitch, that's my baby daddy. Step off!" And then Ebony was like, "Hell no, he don't love you the way loves me." At which point an overly eager student chimed in, "I believe it's, 'he doesn't love you', Ms. Smith." Then, Shaka was like, "That's right, Hermione, ten points to Gryffindor!" And Shaka was like, "Why you gotta do me like that, Granger?"

Ok, at least that's how it's all happening in my head.
