TED 2010 Day 1

Before I loose the magic of TED, I want to share with my friends my take home from Day 1 of the TED Conference.And for those who dont have time to watch the 18 minute talks, i might be saving you sometime :)
I m writing about the three best talks on Day 1 TED 2010 according to me.These are entirely my interpretations of what the speakers meant and you can agree or disagree or dont care :)

William Li - A scientist and a doctor spoke about Anti- Angiogenesis as a cure to cancer. His claim was that cancer causes prolific growth of the cells in the body as well as a growth of the blood capillaries - which grow to provide nourishment to the tumor cells. If we can prohibit the growth of the blood capillaries, then the growth of the cancer cells will be stopped since the cells wont have any food to live on. William Li's drugs have proven successful for many kinds of cancers .
According to him, by eating right kind of food - we can have our own kemotherapy atleast 3 times a day. Foods include - green tea, turmeric, tomotoes, berries, soybeans, etc.
For more information, please check his website -http://www.angio.org/

Also watch his TED talk when its out. :)

Chef Dan Barber - runs the BlueHillFarms restaurant in NY and he spoke about sustainable agriculture . His fishes come from the most sustainable farms and are naturally grown and thats wht he says make them soft and delicious.

Did I tell you that we have already finished 90% of fishes in the oceans and our children might not have any coral reefs to look at ? ;)
Watch his TED talk for more and try bluehillfarms too :)


Jamie Oliver's, London's famous chef, has come to America to fight childhood obesity and wants to change the kind of food served in school cafeterias. I m from India so have no knowledge about it but someone told me all food items in schools are processed and packaged outside.
Then what is a cafeteria for, I dont understand?
I agree with Jamie that everyone should know atleast 10 things to cook before they graduate from high school :)
