My first impression of the TED videos that I chose to watch was that I am glad someone is trying to make a difference. Bittman and Cooper were very strong persuasive speakers that gave me knowledge that I will try to enforce in my own lifestyle. The most evident facts were that we are bringing global warming upon ourselves and that our eating habits are very much to blame. What impressed me the most was the choice of words each speaker used to convey a message across to anyone who cared to make a change in their lifestyle. What depressed me the most is what our children actually consume in our schools. We give our children lunch money and believe that they are consuming a healthy meal. But in reality, they are consuming a whole bunch of processed food. Both speakers inspired me to think differently in the way I cook for my family and what we all consume. I would definitely attend a seminar to listen to these great speakers. I just wish our local school district would adopt the same way of thinking regarding healthier eating. I can definitely use Cooper’s persuasive speech towards my upcoming research paper.
I didnt know school food was that bad.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely goes to show that taking those extra 15 minutes to make your child's lunch really pays off.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know school lunches were that bad, before I got to the age of knowing and caring about what I ate, I thought the food was great. Having pizza and chiken nuggets for lunch made everyone excited! lol However, I would never go to any seminar. I will feel depressed, because I can't lie, I still eat all the "bad" food. But i know my vegetables! :)
ReplyDeleteAll of these speakers inspired me as well!
