About TEDx, x = independently organized event:

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

HEY CATLINERS

[Darren Dolezel]

This is very informative but small farms especially dairy receive no money at all. Typical that people look past the true meaning and turn everything into racism that's why this country will be in the shitter in less then ten years. If the shoe fits...................

I agree with you

[Paul Isham]

yeah, musads, he made a mistake by showing the African Americans when he was talking about food stamps. We should write him a letter.

[Carol Sawall]

Great video, but as an African American I resented the link with food stamps with our race. In truth most food stamps go to whites, and this is a well known fact.

[Karen Kan]

Wow! I had no idea. Thanks for a great presentation!
