20 min lesson in under 10 minutes...cool. maybe she can double her speed next time and just lose everybody.

[Amarynthine]

If she doesn't bring new food on the plate, she certainly raised awareness. I agree with the whole healthier food being cheaper than the junk food.

But MY GOD she needs to SLOW DOWN. Pause, BREATHE!

[crudhousefull]

She's so stupid it's not even funny lol. Love hat energy though

Hey talking girl , About hunger on emergency-when nothing to eat : Eat your pets ( dog , cat , any  living animal !) ......stay healthy , that's normal in Asia , ( a secret : dog-meat makes you horny , maybe I make a joke , I 'm not sure !)

About obesity : That 's " business as usual" in America , nobody to blame , think positive , girl !

Some big fat chics look sexy too ! ( turn the light off, please !)

Why is everyone complaining that she's talking too fast? I think this is a fantastic speed. Try sitting through one of my biochemistry lectures!

[Nster101]

@Amarynthine

The U.S. for instance.

I'm sorry, but this girl has obviously been involved with the UN too long. Ten minutes of lecture that tells us nothing new, and ends with a bullet-point list if doubespeak action items and a new non-profit program? Ugh.

[Amarynthine]

@eXcommunicate1979 where?

@Amarynthine

I think modern minds are much too slow. Most people used to talk this quickly back in the 1930s.
