The Matrix(off topic)

Have you seen the movie Matrix? What do you think about it? A great film? Well, let me tell something to you. It has a message. I am sure you thought about what the "Matrix" is.

City and Food

TED - ideas worth sharing - City and Food

Food is a shared necessity - but also a shared way of thinking, argues Carolyn Steel. Looking at food networks offers an unusual and illuminating way to explore how cities evolved.

Yet, think of it this way: just in London, every single day, 30 million meals must be provided. Without a reliable food supply, even the most modern city would collapse quickly. And most people today eat food of whose provenance they are unaware.
