The TEDxUWLaCrosse Salon Series, presented Glutton for Punishment: The Environmental Costs of Western Diets at the UW-La Crosse Institute for Campus Excellence, Murphy Library, on Tuesday, March 8, from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. The event opened with a presentation and group discussion facilitated by Dr. Adam Driscoll, assistant professor - Department of Sociology.
At a TEDx salon, attendees watch TED Talks, listen to speakers, and have discussions about the talks they witnessed. Salons re-engage the audience in the presentation model through the critical element of lively discussions, allowing attendees to actively participate in the event and shape the conversation.
Dr. Driscoll summarizes his presentation, “This salon explored the nature of the global food system and how current agricultural and food industry practices are unsustainable in both an ecological and a distributive sense.” The salon also included TED videos by Tristram Stuart and Dan Barber. Driscoll continues, “Themes we explored included the amount of food being wasted by our current system, the ecological footprint associated with Western diets, issues of food justice, and problems with agricultural illiteracy. We finished with a discussion of possible alternative models to the current food system that exist at both the local and global levels. We discussed how we as individuals can help foster environmentally sustainable food systems that provide healthy, affordable food for all”
Chrome Hill, view from Parkhouse Hill.
A bit of a tribute to Dad - Chrome Hill and Parkhouse Hill are amongst his favourite spots for taking photos. He has some amazing shots taken around here in all seasons (robinweaver.co.uk/favourite-place.html), including (so I thought) a very similar view to this, with this exact tree in the foreground. Apparently it's not this tree after all, but it's still a rather good viewpoint.
Considering how long I've been exploring the Peak District, it's taken me a long time to get out this way. This was the first time I'd visited Parkhouse Hill (okay, the second, but the first time I was too late for sunset so didn't climb up).
Here is the little milkshake glutton! With mami we say that we have a good client, a little guzzler! The lactation clinic gave him his first report card - A++ for being such a little eater, they couldn't believe it! They HOPE babies gain their birth weight back by a week, little George Paul has already gained it and left it behind him in a trail of milk dust!
This happy Glutton couple doesn't have a worry in the whole wide world. Fun all day long, all year round.
