What's Wrong With What We Eat

I found this video on TED. I am using the description from Ted, because they describe it excellently.


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.

Extraordinary Life

My intention for this blog is to share information for you to contemplate. This information may inspire. It may outrage. It may make you laugh. It may make you walk away shaking your head. Or it may do none of those things.

I cannot decide how you will react to what I post. I ask that if something doesn't fit within your comfort zone or paradigm that you allow this information to be a seed - a seed of possibility. That seed may grow or it may not grow. But allow that seed of possibility to be there. I hope you enjoy what you read.


I found this video about how to have an extraordinary life. Acting on just some of these suggestions would make a profound difference in many lives. As the video states, remember to remember. The choice is yours. Enjoy!
