Not sure if you can afford the time and money to travel the world? Well you and your liver can still make an impact in our out-of-balance world sitting EXACTLY where you are right now. Check out the inspirational badass Ellen Gustafson on TED as she talks about obesity and starvation, and how we can kill both birds with one stone.
The 30 Project, which she launches in this video, poses an ingeniously simple insight: we have 1 billion people hungry in the world, and 1 billion people obese-in our increasingly connected globe, this imbalance can be corrected for the benefit of all.
As you and your liver ought to know my now if you’ve been keeping up with this blog, it’s tough to eat nutritiously in America. On every other corner is a fast food restaurant, and if you watch TV, you’re bombarded with mouth-watering images of sweets, fries, and other incentives to send yourself to a super-sized coffin (to match the liquid-candy “diet” soda you just ordered).
So treating your liver right isn’t just about avoid a sugary slow-suicide. It can actually help change the world. So go global with your liver from where ever you’re sitting right now. Check out the 30 Project or Ellen’s other baby, The FEED Foundation, to do your good deed of the day.
