On a snowy Saturday morning in January, hundreds of people filled the swank auditorium of The New York Times building for "TEDxManhattan: Changing the Way We Eat." In its second year, TEDxManhattan centers around the sustainable food movement, where inspiring and illuminating talks are given by speakers with various backgrounds in food and farming. Attendees included farmers, philanthropists, academics, educators, students, health professionals, chefs and bakers, while those unable to attend were able to access the day's events via live webcast and local viewing parties. Whether physically present or not, audiences left the storm outside to gather in the hearth of ideas, conversation and inspiration.
