Toastmasters speech #7 - Research your SubjectBernardo Najlis
The document is a Toastmasters speech about food and portion sizes in different countries. It discusses how Canadians on average live about 3 years longer than Americans, and the speaker's theory is that this is related to differences in food and portion sizes between the countries. The speaker observes that Canadians appear slightly more fit than Argentinians and notes statistics on obesity rates in the US. The main point is that portion sizes have increased significantly over the last 20 years for many common foods, with examples given. Larger plates and utensils are also believed to contribute to eating more. The speaker acknowledges being guilty of large portions as well but says that portion control through smaller plates and not finishing everything can help with weight loss.
The document provides guidance on selecting topics for speeches as a Toastmaster. It recommends consulting two main sources: personal experiences and reference materials. For personal experiences, it suggests drawing from interests, career, family, and education.
