What’s wrong with what we eat

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

“What’s wrong with what we eat” is a 20 minute TED lecture by a man who has been writing about food for the last 30 years. I think he gives a good description of how our current food consumption harms not only our own health, but also the environment.

Worth a look.

Textile industry dilemma

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Have you noticed how clothes for women are always made small? The textile industry makes all clothes work only for slim woman that have small breasts. This is also what one always sees in the commercials, posters and shops. So basically, woman who are not looking exactly like the models for whom the clothes are made have a really tough time to find something flattering. I’m talking about most women after teenage years.

On the other hand, men’s clothes are a different story altogether. I’ve noticed this only because I’ve been shopping for a business suit and some shirts lately. It seems that most of these clothes are tailored to fit men with big stomaches. Both shirts and jackets have “space” intentionally left for this purpose. This makes buying elegant clothes for someone who doesn’t have a belly to be extremely hard. 

I just don’t get it. Why are women supposed to be skinny, while men are supposed to have hanging stomaches?

What is this Stuff?

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

A friend pointed me to a really nice flick about stuff.

The flick is talking about our ecosystem, and how our current worldview is destroying it. I know it sounds like the usual tree-huggers propaganda, but this flick is actually very entertaining.

Enjoy!
