One of the favorite run-in-the-background-while-you-work activities at Table XI seems to be listening to TED Talks. If you’re not familiar, TED is a well produced lecture series of really smart people giving short 20-minute talks on interesting subjects.
If you are a returning visitor to this site then you must have at least a smidgen of interest in food and cooking which means you’ll find this clip on Jamie Oliver’s efforts to fight obesity fascinating.
We are the first generation in modern history to have a shorter life expectancy than our parents. Jamie says that if he were holding the cure for AIDS or cancer, we’d be scrambling to get to him. But the greatest killers in the US are dietary related… and they are all preventable.
Of particuar relevance is his argument that companies should be providing healthy meal options to their employees. I swelled with TXI pride.
Take 20 minutes and watch this (or listen to it in the background)… especially if you have kids.
This is a great post, Greg, thanks for sharing it with us. I will have to post a link to this on our staff intranet. We are also very proud of how healthy Table XI is, as well as environmentally friendly. Great job!
