Last month I was part of a team of 16 speakers invited to present at the very first Ignite Food. I am pasting the link that gets you to all of the presentations so you can enjoy the evening vicariously. It was a great time, I met a lot of new people with similar interests, and look forward to meeting and collaborating with at least a few of them on similar projects. We had everything from chefs to gardeners to ranchers on stage, which offered a perfect variety of viewpoints of food and where it comes from.

I noticed on watching the video that I was so intent on not moving from the tape line on the floor so as not to move out of camera range…all the energy I normally put into moving around more on stage was channeled into a little bit of bobbing. So sorry about that! This was a new experience for me. Note to self, practice that part next time around!
If you have trouble hearing what I was saying, and you are interested, please let me know. I am considering re-recording the presentation using the same slides. The experience helped me to refine a message about food and health that I have been working on for a long time, and I'd be happy to put something together. I was appealing to the audience to consider how much we might be able to lower our health care budgets, personally and nationally, if we started respecting the healing powers of foods growing all around us.
