Continuing our discussion Thursday on the dualism of hunger/gluttony and how to understand the so-called obesity epidemic along with the concurrent epidemic of eating disorders, please take the time to see this 10 minute long TED talk by Ellen Gustafson, the Co-creator of the philanthropic FEED bags.
Gustafson argues that hunger and obesity are two sides of the same coin. At TEDxEast, she launches The 30 Project --a way to change how we eat. If interested further, you can also read a blog in which she answers some questions about her efforts to combat hunger:

p.s. I think I have finally found someone who speaks faster than I do while lecturing!
