TED Prize Shines Spotlight on Issue We Address in the Spa and Wellness Industry

By Susie Ellis, SpaFinder Insider. First things first. I just returned from attending the very creative TED Active conference in Palm Springs, CA. To say it was inspiring would be an understatement. Rather, for me (and I think many others who attended) TED was a game-changer. While I will explain what I mean by that in a future blog and do my usual “update” sharing what I learned, I wanted to start out giving you a link to the one talk (out of about 50) that I think is the most important one for the spa and wellness industry to hear. It is by Jamie Oliver, a famous chef from the UK who is on a crusade to start a healthy food movement in schools. He was the $100,000 TED prize winner this year and here is his 18-minute talk (actually he went slightly over the strict TED rules that gives everyone – and that includes Bill Gates and James Cameron – exactly 18 minutes to speak) Titled: Teach Every Child About Food. ** Follow me on Twitter http://twitter.com/susieellis ** If you wish to be put on a list that automatically sends my blog posts to your email, just let dulcy.gregory@spafinder.com know and she will add you to that list.
