Mark Bittman at the TED Conference

Here's a video of New York Times food writer Mark Bittman speaking at the TED conference in 2008. Mark is as compelling a speaker as he is a writer. And I can't think of another time someone used the phrase "cow farts" in a presentation and it wasn't even a little bit funny. Here's what the good folks at TED wrote by way of introduction:

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.

Thanks for the video and the informative web site. We're hoping to meet you at the Lucia dinner -- just need to line up a sitter ;).

Thanks for the comment, Jennifer (hopefully I got that right)! I'm enjoying your blog. I especially liked yesterday's post about the farmshare and sweet potatoes (http://www.unplannedcooking.com/?p=382), and I'll be anxious to hear about how things go with Backyard Harvest next year. We use A Backyard Farm and love them, but I've heard good things.

Meanwhle, please get to work on that sitter - it'd be great to meet you, and the event at Lucia's will be amazing.
