I've blogged before about the annual invitation-only TED (originally stood for Technology, Education, Design) conference where the best ideas in education, technology, health, and related topics are presented by some of the world's most creative thinkers and researchers.
One of the speakers in 2006 was the famous Dr. Dean Ornish who was among the first to prove that cardiovascular disease was preventable and reversible by changes in diet (moving to a primarily plant-based diet) and lifestyle. This 3:20" video has an amazing graphic presentation on the rise in obesity in America, plus a ton of other salient facts -- along with a hilarious graphic picturing the ascent and descent of man. If your Internet connection will handle it, look below the video window for a link to a higher-res version of the talk for better viewing.
