The TED Talk that I most recently watched was by a young woman who obviously was an entreprenuer. She has worked in the food business which I personally find interesting. She spoke on the problems that are occuring in the world when millions of people can be starving while simultaniously millions are obese. She has worked with a program called FEED which gives 25 meals to a child in need while still rewarding the purchaser with a stylish bag.
I can see how both being starved and being obese are just inappropriate relationship to food, be it forced upon somone through poverty, or because of how a person approaches the dinner table.
I think that the way to tell if someone is obese, starving, or on the path toward either one of these extremes is to look at the way they view food. If they are merely using it for fuel, if they are replacing a relationship with the temporary pleasure of eating, or if they fear the results from possibly eating too much.
Additionally, this boistrous speaking lectured on how healthy organic food can maintain a middle ground in the spectrum of food dependence. Through the maintaining of important crops healthily, people will remain and become healthy instead of bouncing between excess and dereliction.
This is truely a problem of the future. One which can only be solved through the cooperation of those who are in charge of farming, economic development in new nations, and the average person, who can alter their relationship to the nourishment they take in.
