Eating Disorders from the Inside Out: Laura Hill at TEDxColumbus.

Calm, pleasure and satisfaction is what most people experience after eating. But for people with eating disorders, food brings anxiety, disturbance and noise. Dr. Hill takes a look from the inside out from the “sound” to the biology of these diseases and how the future holds a different approach to manage the illness while bringing these patients hope.

I BETRAY The SPY NINJAS and SNEAK INTO The SAFE HOUSE! Project Zorgo Challenge In Real Life Vlog

– Hi Spy… Project Zorgo Members. I just want to let you know that I’m about to get promoted into a higher level of Project Zorgo. I did pay $10,000 to get to the higher level and this is what they gave me. This box here. Whoa! It’s a safe! It says Project Zorgo on it. Inside this safe is a key to get to the top of the black pyramid. Once I get there, I’m going to be one of the most powerful Project Zorgo members. Project Zorgo’s making me finish 3 challenges before they give me key to the safe. The first challenge that Project Zorgo gave me is that I have to go to the Spy Ninja safe house and take things from them. (door creaking) (door slam) – Hey did you see this? Look what I found on the street. They’re looking for a new Spy Ninja to replace you.– Wait, what? They’re already replacing me with another Spy Ninja? – What do you care? You don’t need to be with those losers anyway. You left them, remember? – I mean, it’s going to be hard for us PZ members if they have more Spy Ninjas. – Hey, why don’t we call this number and play a prank on them? Hello, Spy Ninjas? Why did the chicken cross the road? To take down the Spy Ninjas! Ah ha ha ha. – That was really funny PZ member … so funny. – I thought so. All right enough of this, it’s time for your first challenge. You need to go into the safe house. You gotta get the stun stars from Chad, the lie detector from Daniel, and place security cameras all over the safe house so Project Zorgo can always be watching the safe house.– Got it, got it! – Well get out of here, go! – Before I start the mission, I’m going to give this number a call right here and see what the Spy Ninjas are up to without me. That’s me! They block out my face! This could be you? No one can replace me. I’m going to leave them a voicemail now. Hey, my name is John. My skills are sleeping in late, I like to lie down and eat a lot, and I like to sleep. Can’t tie my shoes, I trip a lot. Oh, that kind of sounds like Regina. I can’t work computers really well.Okay call me back, bye. Let’s make our way to the safe house, guys. All right guys, I’m back at the safe house. My old door, welcome home! My former home. It’s kind of bittersweet being back here. Luckily, I have a key. Wait, this doesn’t fit? What the heck? My key doesn’t fit anymore! Did they really change the lock? I’m one of the original Spy Ninjas. I can’t believe they moved on already. It’s only been like a week. It really is over, isn’t it? But you know what? I’m still a spy and a good spy knows how to pick locks. Here’s my lock picking kit. I got in! I’m in you guys, I don’t see Daniel, Chad or Regina right now. I gotta go set up my … (dropping sound) No one heard me. They must be sleeping. In the day, though. Okay, I got to go set up my first camera. I see there’s still dirty dishes in the sink. Regina, Daniel and Chad, they don’t know how to do anything.See this plant is almost dying. No one’s been watering it. (footsteps) They’re here! I’m going to hide in this cupboard. – Guys, we need to talk about tomorrow. It’s Spy Ninja tryouts. – Did they say Spy Ninja tryouts? They’ve already found some candidates to replace me? – We’ve got three candidates coming. They left voicemails and a phone number. – We know who they are now? – Yes, I know who they are. We’ve gotta have some good challenges for them to really test them out. – Yeah we can probably do like a lie detector thing. – We gotta test their ninja moves. – And maybe we’ll do like a tiny Spy Ninja challenge. – Yeah. – Yeah. ’cause they’re replacing Vy, we need a new tiny Spy Ninja. – They’re going to have them do challenges? Whoever they found, I just know they’re not going to pass it. They can’t replace me! I’m irreplaceable. Look at all of them. Chad’s backpack is wide open. Regina, her shoes are untied. And Daniel, his shirt’s clearly dirty. – Have any of you guys seen my CWC wristband? – Uh…no, you need it? – I would like it but I’ll look for it.– Let’s just all get ready for Spy Ninja training tomorrow everyone do their thing. – Let’s do it! – I’ll look for my wristband. – Chad’s coming this way. – All right, my wristband. – He’s looking for his wristband? It must be the CWC wristband that’s in the Spy Ninja Essential Kits. He’s always misplacing things. He can’t find anything without me. – Hey Vy, where’s my … Oh nevermind. She always knows where I put my stuff. – I think he’s getting closer. I hope he doesn’t open this one. It’s gonna be kind of awkward. (dramatic music) – No, no, no, no … No, no, no, no Wait, I don’t hear him anymore. Maybe Chad left? His backpack’s open. That’s where he keeps his Stun Stars. That’s what I need to get. I think the coast is clear. I’m able to get the Stun Stars out of Chad’s pocket, I think I need to climb up into the vents I’m going to get to higher grounds, look down, and get a string, reel it up.I need to get to the vents inside of the laundry room. (gasp) I think that’s Daniel. – Is this a door? Oh … – He’s doing his laundry. I don’t think he knows how to do it because I always do his laundry for him. – Take this off. Ummmm. – Did I just see him put his white lie detector shirt mixed in with all the colors? I told him, you need to separate the colors from the whites. – Hello? Hello! Regina! Regina! I need help! – I don’t know if she’s going to know. I did her laundry also. – What, Daniel? I don’t know how to turn the washing machine on. Aw, this is the dishwasher. – No, Daniel, this is the washing machine. I think you just need to put it on, press this button, and then that button. – You’re messing up! It didn’t! Nothing happened, Regina. – I don’t know, I’ve never done the laundry. – I know, Vy always used to do it. I feel like a complete dweeb.– Well, I don’t know, I don’t know how to help you. – You’re going to have to help eventually. I don’t know, I just don’t know. – They’re leaving, I got to go get to the vents. Wait, this is my Spy Ninja backpack. I’m going to take my Spy Ninja backpack with me. It’s the shirt that Daniel always wears when he uses the lie detector test. Project Zorgo wanted the whole entire kit so I gotta take this with me.He left his phone in the washer! How’d Daniel miss this start button right here? I’m just going to help him out and start the load for him. Okay, got to put this down. The vents are up here. 3 … 2 … 1 … (screams) Back to these vents again. I gotta get those stun stars. Oh he’s not in this room. Wait, there’s Chad. Oh he’s practicing his ninja moves. He’s definitely the best ninja out of the group but not very good at closing things because his backpack is still open. – This used to be Vy’s. – The extendable will staff, that’s mine! Maybe he misses me! – She’d go hi-yah! – I’m going to lower this down. – Like that, I see. Little bit of this! Little bit of that! Little bit of hey Project Zorgo! Whack! – To the left a little bit… – Whack! Whack! – He needs to stop practicing his ninja moves. Yes, yes, good thing.The ninja stars are magnetic, so my magnetic end is going to attach the ninja stars. So I just need to be really precise about this. (dramatic music) Lift this baby up. Yes, got it! (ninja fighting sounds) All right guys, got the ninja stars. Mission is complete. Let’s get out of the vents. Let’s get out of here quietly and safely. – Hey Mister Bear, time to get your leg back together. Time to do surgery on you, Mister Bear. We’re going to be okay with Vy’s sewing kit. We’re going to get you back to life, bud. – She’s trying to sew Mister Bear back with my sewing kit. I left it for her so she can work on Mister Bear. – There’s nothing … ow! I don’t know really what to do with it. – But it doesn’t really seem like she knows how to do it. – Tomato? Why does she need a tomato? I don’t get it! – She thought it was a tomato! It’s actually a push pin, you know you can put your needles in it.– Maybe I’ll just do something with the needle. Just poke a hole or something? It’s working, it’s working! – (groan) that’s not how sewing works. You need some thread, not just needles. I mean, I sewed back his head last time and now he’s missing a leg. Mister Bear’s been through some battles. While Regina’s doing that, look where I’m at. It’s her secret room.The room that nobody knows how to get in. And nobody’s still asking her. I don’t know why they wouldn’t let me keep my secret alone. I’m gonna try and find out what’s in her secret room. – Get out of my stuff! – Oh my gosh! What was that? – Who’s over here? Hello? Chad? Daniel? I know one of you guys tried to get into my secret room. Hello? – Mister Bear, you poor thing. You’re still injured. Regina hasn’t taken care of you. I’ll take care of you Mister Bear. All right guys, I still need to set up this last camera here at the safe house. I gotta find a good place to do it. (camera drops) Luckily, no one’s in here right now. I’m in the bathroom. I’m going to place this up on top of the doorway in the bathroom looking outside of course not in the bathroom, gross. While I’m in the bathroom, I know where Chad usually puts his little wristband.Yeah, here it is. Wait, shh… I hear someone. It’s Daniel. He’s by the laptop. I can’t tell if he has his lie detecting kit with him or not I gotta get a little closer here. – Hey Spy Ninjas, it’s me Daniel, I am trying to upgrade my lie detector. Just in case I have to put the newest Spy Ninja member through a lie detector test, I want to make sure it’s working better than ever before. It’s that the lie detector? That’s what I need to get from him. He’s wearing it in his hand right now. That’s going to be really difficult to get it off of him. – You know what, I have an interesting idea here. In fact, maybe it’s an amazing idea. I think I can get the lie detector to predict the future. Watch this, you ready? – Did he say he’s turning his lie detector into a fortune teller? That’s impossible! That’s ridiculous, Daniel! You can’t do that! – I am going to have $5 million dollars one day.False? Must not be working. Let’s try another question. – Five million dollars? I hope you get that one day Daniel, just work hard, keep uploading YouTube videos, I think you’ll get there. – One day, I’m going to be the strongest boy in all of Las Vegas. – Oh geez, he’s asking another question? He’s probably going to have like a laundry list of questions. Gotta come up with a plan here. What does he like? Oh, I know … Fortnite. I still have Daniel’s phone. He left it in the washing machine. So I’m going to request to play a game with him. Request sent. – Let’s see what the lie detector said. (beep) Oh, what’s this? Multiplayer request for Fortnite. Someone wants to play with me on Fortnite. I guess I can hold off on this for now. I’m always down for a Fortnite battle. Let’s accept request. I’ll resume lie detector test later. Fortnite battle royale, no problem. – Ready? Okay, where’s Daniel. There he is, I’m going to take him down.Yes! It was so easy you guys! – I didn’t say I was ready yet! Ugh! I practice every day and I’m still not good. – He’s rage quitting right now. Look at him pouting around. – You know, I’m just too good in real life in battle royale. That’s why I didn’t do good in Fortnite battle royale. (buzzer) The washing machine is on? The dryer’s on too. What? – He’s leaving, he’s leaving. Okay this is my chance. I gotta go get that lie detector. Gonna take the whole laptop with me here. Okay, I’m going to give Daniel his phone back, I don’t need it. I have everything I need now. So it’s time to leave quietly and sneakily out of here. – Ohhhh … what? – Daniel. – It’s clean. Someone did the laundry for me. Chad! Hey Chad, Regina! Regina, did you? Look … it smells amazing! The laundry started working all of a sudden. Did you do it? – I didn’t do it, I wouldn’t do the laundry.Wait, wait! I just remembered something. Did you do this? – What? – Stay there! (door slams) Did you sew Mister Bear’s leg back? I mean, you didn’t do a great job but it’s back, it’s attached! – What the heck? I didn’t sew his leg back. – I didn’t do any of this. Maybe Chad did it? – Chad! – Chad! – Yeah! – Did you do the laundry? – No, I didn’t do the laundry. – Did you sew Mister Bear’s leg back? – No, it wasn’t me. Well speaking of finding things, did you find my wristband? Cause someone put it up there, and it wasn’t there before. – No I didn’t do that. – Nope, me neither. – That’s odd. Prepare for the Spy Ninja test. – Yes, I’ll get on it. – Everyone’s gone. I think I have everything I need. So it’s time to exit. Goodbye safe house. Goodbye Spy Ninja’s, it’s been real. I’m back at the basement in headquarters. I have everything they wanted. I’m ready to present it. Here! Everything you need is in that backpack. – Everything’s in there. – Yes. – Let’s check this out. PZ700, congratulations! You have completed a first challenge.For your second challenge. Go down the hall, take a right, and then your second left, go into the elevator, and go all the way up to the top. There you will reach, the next highest level of Project Zorgo. Okay, all right, I’ll do it. Guys here is the elevator right here. I hope Project Zorgo is not lying to me and this elevator is actually going to take me to the top of the black pyramid. (ding) It’s opening! It’s open! (ding) The elevator, it’s just going up! It’s going up! It’s actually going up! Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it! We’re going to the top you guys! – Vy Qwaint, are you ready for your next challenge? Your 72 hours stuck in an elevator starts now. – What? I’m here by myself? .

35 Books That Will Teach You A Damn Thing About Your Food

Spoiler Alert: No cookbooks.

Dan Meth / BuzzFeed

1. For anyone who’s ever eaten at McDonald’s: Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Kodiak Greenwood / AP Images

 

If you read anything on this list, make it this. Though published 14 years ago, Fast Food Nation is no less relevant today, giving voice to the hardworking men and women behind the millions of nuggets, patties, pies, and fries that we continue to so mindlessly consume.

2. For anyone who’s ever eaten emotionally: Born Round by Frank Bruni

Penguin

Yanina Manolova / AP Images

 

Like many of us, Frank Bruni has long struggled with his weight. But what happens when the former chief restaurant reviewer for the New York Times turns a critic’s eye on his own eating habits? Born Round is equal parts heartbreaking and funny, a four-star read.

3. For anyone who’s wondered: Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It by Gary Taubes

 

Science writer Gary Taubes brings his degrees in physics, aerospace engineering, and journalism to the human body to explain how weight is more likely the product of our anatomy than our appetites.

4. For anyone who’s been on Atkins or just really likes butter: The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz

Simon & Schuster

 

Atkins may have been right all along. According to Nina Teicholz’s research, the low-fat frenzy of the past half-century was based on bogus — if well-meaning — science. How this became federal policy and shaped generations of American dieting is a deeply compelling cautionary tale.

5. For anyone who still hasn’t read Kitchen Confidential: Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

HarperCollins

Peter Kramer / KRAPE / AP

 

Even 15 years later, Bourdain’s remains the preeminent curtain-pull among epicurean exposés. Somehow, his down-and-dirty account of the madmen and -women behind haute cuisine doesn’t detract from our enjoyment of the food. In fact, it might just make us enjoy it more.

6. For anyone who wishes Kitchen Confidential had been compressed into 24 hours: Sous Chef by Michael Gibney

 

Gibney takes two bold turns in this remarkable debut: 1) He limits himself to just 24 hours, and 2) he pivots to present it all in the second person. The result is an extra-urgent, in-the-trenches tumble through a day in the life on the line.

7. For anyone who liked Kitchen Confidential but wanted more sex and drugs: The Devil in the Kitchen by Marco Pierre White

 

Perhaps the least polished and most profane of this list’s memoirs, White’s The Devil In The Kitchen is still a rollicking wild ride. Think Gordon Ramsey but more pissed off.

8. For anyone who dreads grocery shopping, or just wants help doing it: What to Eat by Marion Nestle

 

You know not to grocery shop when hungry, but do you know what to look for — and avoid — in each aisle? Marion Nestle’s blow-by-blow guide to supermarket shopping is a godsend: a delight to read and easy to reference on the fly.

9. For anyone who wants to know why they hate tomatoes: Tomatoland by Barry Estabrook

 

Not all tomatoes are as bad as the ones you find in the supermarket. Estabrook tells us why and introduces us to the farmers — from Florida to Peru — who have worked to bring us the Big (bland) Red.

10. For anyone looking for a laugh with their Big Mac: Food: A Love Story by Jim Gaffigan

Random House

Nigel Parry via Random House

 

Gaffigan brings his trademark wit to our cultural cravings, waxing poetic on everything from Hot Pockets to Cinnabon. Food: A Love Story is written for the everyman — the hungry man — who remains suspicious of kale and enamored with bacon.

11. For anyone who thought Eat, Pray, Love was overrated and really just wanted Julia Roberts to open a kick-ass restaurant in New York: Blood, Bones & Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton

Random House

Sergi Alexander / Getty

 

By far the best-written chef’s memoir on this list, Blood, Bones & Butter is clearly the work of a pro. And it makes sense, seeing as Hamilton holds an MFA in fiction writing from the University of Michigan, in addition to her stints as a dishwasher, underage bartender, world traveler, and catering director. If you’re ever in New York, her tiny restaurant, Prune, is worth a visit.

(Bonus good/bad news: The book has allegedly been optioned for a film adaptation, with Gwyneth Paltrow attached to play Hamilton.)

12. For anyone considering culinary school: The Making of a Chef by Michael Ruhlman

 

Don’t let all these raucous, debauched restaurant memoirs fool you — being a chef takes hard work. Ruhlman’s detailed look inside the Harvard of U.S. culinary schools is proof.

13. For anyone who likes to learn (and fail) on the fly: Heat by Bill Buford

Random House

Bebeto Matthews / AP Images

 

If school’s just not your thing, you might identify more closely with Buford’s approach to the culinary arts. Bypassing any formal training — or even former restaurant experience — Buford jumped from his job at The New Yorker to the kitchen of Mario Batali’s famed restaurant, Babbo. His resulting education is hectic, hard-won, and hilarious.

14. For anyone currently watching Fresh Off the Boat: Fresh Off the Boat by Eddie Huang

Random House

Richard Shotwell / Invision / AP

 

You might not recognize all of Huang’s many punchy pop culture references, but that doesn’t make Fresh Off the Boat any less fun. Whether discussing Asian-American stereotypes or soup dumplings in Taiwan, Huang writes with delightful verve. It’s easy to see why this book translates so seamlessly to the screen.

15. For anyone who wants to know where these truly upsetting retro recipes came from: Something From the Oven by Laura Shapiro

 

Shapiro roves from the origins of Betty Crocker to the miracle of canned bread, showing how mid-century feminism and postwar technology united to produce bizarre foodie fads unlike any we’ve seen since.

16. For anyone wondering why Lunchables are still a thing: Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss

 

Investigative reporter Michael Moss reveals how big brands like Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Kellogg, Nestlé, Capri Sun, Cargill, and Oreo have engineered our addiction to their products. His in-depth look at the strange science behind processed food is at once fascinating and terrifying.

17. For anyone who really really likes corn: The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan

Penguin

Fran Collin / MichaelPollan.com

 

Michael Pollan is the king of contemporary food writing, swirling together history, science, and sociology with surprising élan. The Omnivore’s Dilemma is essential reading for anyone trying to grasp the full scope of food in America, which, it turns out, is mostly made of corn.

18. For anyone who really likes Michael Pollan: Cooked by Michael Pollan

Penguin

Marty Lederhandler / AP

 

Seriously, this guy can write. In Cooked, Pollan invites us to learn alongside him as he masters the art of preparing food with the four classical elements — fire, water, air, and earth. So if you’ve ever consumed barbecue, bread, beer, or bourguignon and wondered how it all came to be, this book is for you.

19. For anyone with a casual Ph.D. in chemistry: On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee

Simon & Schuster

 

This is the brainier version of Cooked, with a legitimate “Chemistry Primer” appendix on molecular reactions and the like. But phases of matter aside, On Food and Cooking is a veritable kitchen bible, with how-to and tell-me-why chapters on everything from “The Problem of Legumes and Flatulence” to “Why Pain Can Be Pleasurable.”

20. For anyone who wants to drool: The Art of Eating by M.F.K. Fisher

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Richard Drew / AP

 

M.F.K. Fisher is the writer you probably haven’t heard of but definitely should know. Whether she’s describing a tiny restaurant in the French countryside or how to properly savor a tangerine — even how to boil water — Fisher’s words practically drip from the page. The Art of Eating represents her collected works, a transcontinental record of how to best enjoy the simple pleasures of a meal.

Proof of her beautiful prose, and inspiration for any aspiring food writers out there: “It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. So it happens that when I write of hunger, I am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and hunger for it … and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied … and it is all one.”

21. For anyone contemplating going gluten-free: Grain Brain by David Perlmutter

Little, Brown & Company

 

Definitely a pro-gluten-free screed, Grain Brain presents the science on the side of our most recent de rigueur diet. Great for those with celiac disease and gluten intolerance, and maybe better taken with a grain of salt by the rest of us.

For a more even-handed look at Big Bad Gluten, try Michael Specter’s piece in The New Yorker.

22. For anyone who salts their watermelon: Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky

Penguin

Sylvia Plachs via markkurlansky.com

 

Another “wait till you hear where your _____ comes from” book, but somehow Kurlansky manages to make salt — yes, salt — a compelling protagonist. Who knew that this familiar, meek little mineral could have been the impetus for so many revolutions, conquests, and wars?

23. For anyone who wants to know what it really means to “live off the land”: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

HarperCollins

David Wood via barbarakingsolver.com

 

Having heard the virtues of Locavore and Slow Food diets endlessly extolled, Barbara Kingsolver decided to give it a try. Her whole-hog endeavor — transplanting her family from Tucson, Arizona, to rural Virginia, where they only consumed produce that they’d personally planted or raised — is drastic, but ultimately rewarding. She shows us how to reconnect with the land and ourselves, thinking mindfully about what we eat and how it’s made.

24. For anyone who really identified with the critic in Ratatouille: Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl

Penguin

Brigitte Lacombe via Gourmet

 

How do restaurants actually earn their stars? Go undercover with renowned New York Times food critic Ruth Reichl to see how egos, infighting, anonymity, and authenticity co-mingle to determine the fates of restaurateurs and their reviewers.

25. For anyone wondering where the phrase “You are what you eat” comes from: The Physiology of Taste by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

One Woman’s Powerful Story Will Inspire You To Treat Your Body Right

Fat is not a feeling.

1. Caroline Rothstein is an amazing writer, spoken word performer, and body empowerment activist. This is her story.

BuzzFeedYellow / Via youtu.be

3. At a young age, Rothstein became self-conscious of her body.

4. “I remember standing at the bar in ballet class, looking in the mirror and comparing my body to everyone else’s.”

5. She began to use food to cope with her emotional anxieties and subsequently struggled with an eating disorder for a full decade.

6. After years of abuse, she had an important epiphany:

 

7. “Everyone only gets one body in their lifetime. I knew I had to start treating mine differently,” she realized. From that day forward, she resolved to love her body for the rest of her life.

8. Recovery is hard and, “like peeling layers from an onion.”

9. As she began to seek a healthier way to deal with her emotions, Rothstein realized that the world tells bodies not to love themselves through all kinds of oppressions.

10. But loving your body is still a choice. And even though Rothstein chooses to loves her body, there are still moments that are difficult.

11. “Sometimes I feel fat. And when I think I feel fat, I remember that fat is not a feeling.”

12. So when you feel body dissatisfaction, remember that it’s not a real feeling.

13. Your body is a miracle.
