Video (21:53) Summary (from the website):Sharing powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, W. Va., TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food. N.B.: video is al vertaald in 40 talen (o.a. Nederlands)! Why you should listen to him: Jamie Oliver has been drawn to the kitchen since he was a child working in his father's pub-restaurant. He showed not only a precocious culinary talent but also a passion for creating (and talking about) fresh, honest, delicious food. In the past decade, the shaggy-haired "Naked Chef" of late-'90s BBC2 has built a worldwide media conglomerate of TV shows, books, cookware and magazines, all based on a formula of simple, unpretentious food that invites everyone to get busy in the kitchen. And as much as his cooking is generous, so is his business model -- his Fifteen Foundation, for instance, trains young chefs from challenged backgrounds to run four of his restaurants. Now, Oliver is using his fame and charm to bring attention to the changes that Brits and Americans need to make in their lifestyles and diet. Campaigns such as Jamie's School Dinner, Ministry of Food and Food Revolution USA combine Oliver's culinary tools, cookbooks and television, with serious activism and community organizing -- to create change on both the individual and governmental level. vu=http://video.ted.com/talks/dynamic/JamieOliver_2010-medium.mp4&su=http://images.ted.com/images/ted/tedindex/embed-posters/JamieOliver-2010.embed_thumbnail.jpg&vw=432&vh=240&ap=0&ti=765&introDuration=15330&adDuration=4000&postAdDurat

In her inspiring 2009 TEDTalk, Aimee Mullins redefines what the body can be. Her prosthetic legs are a combination of form, function and aesthetic. She encourages designers to change the idea of "disability" and the definition of beauty by bringing their talents to both the science and the art of designing prosthetics.

In een TED-talk ruim tien jaar eerder (1998): Aimee Mullins on running (zie http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/aimee_mullins_on_running.html) het eerdere verhaal van het meisje zonder onderbenen. LET OP: subtitles available (Dutch)

De vraag Ik ben er van overtuigd dat de sportvereniging in haar huidige vorm, weliswaar met noodzakelijke aanpassingen die iedere tijd vereist, voor de sport in Nederland van onschatbare waarde is. Jij bent als verenigingsadviseur dagelijks met sportverenigingen bezig. Deel jij die visie? Hebben sportverenigingen in Nederland inderdaad een gouden toekomst in jouw ogen?
