    idk who needs this for an assignment but this might help you through it
    Purposeful Pause
    The presenter paused at 9:20 after describing how people that are too deep in food security are trapped in that situation due to malnutrition and lack of energy to do so. This was powerful because it made the audience sit on that thought and maybe relate that idea to personal experiences or others. Another demonstration of a purposeful pause was at 12:35. At this timestamp, the speaker reiterated the same quote said at 9:20, but this time after going in depth as to why they can't recover and how stability is hard to obtain. This made the audience relate once again to the quote.
    Pacing and Vocal Variety
    The pacing in the speaker's voice at 14:00 began to increase very rapidly to illustrate the importance of prioritizing the root problem of hunger and not just the top-level perspective of just feeding those who are hungry. The result of the change in pacing added emotion to the point the speaker was trying to make.
    Eye Contact
    The speaker’s eye contact was very effective, especially given that the layout of the audience was at a 270-degree viewing angle. Throughout the speaker's story that took place in 1992, they made sure to look at a wide range of the audience, and at 2:10 the avoidance of eye contact added to the emotion of their story when they had to downgrade apartments.
    Movement
    Similarly to how the speaker covered a wide range of eye contact, they also made sure to gesture to a large area of the audience and face towards them. The speaker’s hand movements were in sync with the words they were saying.
    Visual Aids
    The use of visual aids consisted of short and brief quotes, along with some charts displaying information such as what makes stability in a household (12:21). The visual aids added to the presentation's audience interaction by allowing them to visualize the arguments that the speaker was making.
    The audience
    The speaker related to the audience by presenting personal stories and ways that the audience can recognize the issue at the conclusion of the presentation. The demographic of the audience was addressed in a way that that included those who might be well off and those who might be suffering from food insecurity. This way the speaker was able to reach the whole audience, regardless of the position they are in.

    I love this! It irks me to no end when people expect others to "pick themselves up" without access to the proper resources. When we are willing to open our minds and work together, we accomplish much more. I love that you address eliminating the root of the problem rather than just putting a band-aid on the problem. Great message!

    I hate that you had to worry.. worry what others think of you, the struggle of wondering what to eat, but I am so happy that you are here to stand and tell your story. Your mom is such a warrior!!! I always say, after everything I've been through and I'm still here, how can I not thank God??
    I am a public health major and always have been fascinated with food insecurity. Thank you for this Ted Talk. I cannot wait to change the world the same way you are working towards it!

    Food insecurity is something close to my heart. I’ve been through it and it’s honestly the worst experience I’ve ever been through. The feeling of not having eaten in days is so,me thing I’d never wish on my worst enemy. Luckily I’m in a better place now, but without the generosity of others, and the altruism of local churches and food banks, I’d be dead. It’s a sobering experience, and one I don’t think I’ll ever forget.

    A great message, highlighting the need for people to have access to healthy food! I don't know of one person on Earth who would disagree. I do know of many people who expect the government to lift the responsibility for getting the job done. I have an idea, do you know of someone who is in need of health food? Go and give them some and stop expecting the government to do your job! Its easy to expect others to get it done and complain about them if you don't think they are doing enough. Try accepting your place in the lives of others and helping them succeed and stop your whining !!! And btw, I can say that I have done that for many years and take pleasure in knowing that I am part of the solution and not someone who expects the government or anyone else to do my part for me!!!

      Some little girls go through puberty earlier than others. I started my menses at the age of 8 in 1951.

    Food security is critical to much more than public health. It is critical to America's power and hegemony. Agriculture and food production are mainstays for our strength. Some small percentage of our population produces enough food to feed us and export large amounts to international commerce and eleemosynary projects. We know Earth resources are being depleted but we are not developing comprehensive reports on status and rate of exhaustion. Decades ago Colorado River was a raging torrent when it crossed the border into Mexico. The Ogallala Aquifer has been drawn down some large amount but only patchy analyses have been reported. Similar anecdotes apply to several other aquifers in the US. Add to that mix dying reefs, plastic pollution in the oceans, global warming (unless it does not exist, of course), rising sea levels, and the 'off-gassing" from high-density farming of land and sea life.

      What you've stated is spot on; however, this talk is not all encompassing. This talk is specific to the current breakdowns in our food system and why it should be of the public's concern. Food security is complex enough, no need to add on all of these other parts you speak of if people like you miss the most basic message.

    The public health concern is irresponsible parents, not feeding their children.

      That is incorrect (pediatric endocrinologist). The earliest normal age for a girl to go through puberty is age 8yrs, for boys, age 9yrs. The average are for girls is 10-11yrs and for boys 11-12yrs and this average has been dropping slowly for several decades. But there are significant percentage of both who start earlier than average. (I know this comment is older but thought to respond anyway).
