Chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, MD reveals the findings of a year's research in which he evaluated the preventive role of diet in avoiding and reversing heart disease. The documentary also features interviews with medical experts and former US President Bill Clinton.
Have you ever wondered why a bunch of carrots costs more than a package of Twinkies? Food journalist Michael Pollan connects the dots between food policy, high-fructose corn syrup, and our health
many scientists are convinced that for humans it is a super antioxidant, a powerful antibiotic, energy booster, heart-helper, lung-improver and sex sustainer.
Using wikis and digital fabrication tools, TED Fellow Marcin Jakubowski
is open-sourcing the blueprints for 50 farm machines, allowing anyone to
build their own tractor or harvester from scratch. And that's only the
first step in a project to write an instruction set for an entire
self-sustaining village (starting cost: $10,000).
Declaring that, "We can lead self-sustaining lives without
sacrificing our standard of living," Marcin Jakubowski believes that
only by opening the means of production can we achieve abundance for
all. Though he has a Ph.D. in fusion physics, he became dissatisfied
with its remoteness, and turned back to the earth as a farmer and social
innovator.
He is the founder of Open Source Ecology,
which is creating the Global Village Construction Set — the blueprints
for simple fabrication of everything needed to start a self-sustaining
village. At Factor e Farm in rural Missouri, he's been successfully
putting those ideas to the test. www.opensourceecology.org.nyud.net
"It's not reinventing the wheel; it's open-sourcing the wheel."
