Food Ted Talks

The talks are going to be live-streamed at viewing parties across the country. But if you're busy Saturday -- or just want to get a sense of the types of issues that might be discussed -- there's no need to despair.

Food photography is a great TED subject? The reinventer HuffPo has certainly become a kinder, gentler easier to digest place.

The TED from Jennifer 8. Lee was very interesting, especially the part where she introduced fortune cookies to Chinese citizens.

Dan Barbers talk was my favorite out of any of the ones up there I've seen. If you watch any of them I'd make sure you watch that one! Made me teary eyed. :)
