http://www.ted.com In this fiery and funny talk, New York Times food writer Mark Bittman weighs in on what's wrong with the way we eat now (too much meat, too few plants; too much fast food, too little home cooking), and why it's putting the entire planet at risk.

This mixes common sense with some extremism from unnamed "experts." On livestock, he grabs the bull by only one horn regarding sustainability and nutrition (and global hunger?). So he's right about some things. See my playlist, "Why Livestock" for the other horn. He's changed since 2008 on some of this, such as his attitude against butter. He doesn't include farmers in his "Here's where we all meet," and gives way too much attention to some of those who have the least understanding of livestock issues. He also misunderstands the farm bill. Yes it's "a ... collaboration between agribusiness and congress," but subsidies aren't the issue, fair prices are the core issue, and that's unrelated to subsidies, (I give 4 proofs in my "Michael Pollan Rebuttal" so see my "Farm Bill & Food Bill" playlist.) Subsidized crops pay less, even with added subsidies, than the non subsidized fruits and vegetables, as measured by percent of parity, (percent of a fair price). His use of imagery supports his thesis, but I see a lot of straw man in it.

nice...you cant't convince yourself to stop eating meat just to eat less. The jokes were nice though
-
we would be best exterminating 2 / 3rds of the population... it would hurt and we would feel guilty for a while however, this too will pass.
criteria... below 130 Iq

The historical part is pretty amazing, but how many human beings needed to be fed back in the days? I support local diet, but I wonder if it could ever work in nowadays situation...
-
This is bad for business...

A lot of people are mad because he doesn't recommend cutting meat 100%. Let me ask you guys how making changes look impossible and alienating people is working out. Most meat eaters look at vegetarians like we force ourselves to choke down grass. People are constantly shocked by how friendly vegan meals actually are.
I advocate one single thing and I'm willing to bet I've helped people cut out a massive amount of meat. You want to know what works and gets results and makes people change their diet? I tell them I eat dirt cheap, super healthy and tasty food with almost no effort in the kitchen. The simple reason is that I learned to expand my diet.
Try things. Lots of thing. If you don't like them spit it out. After a while you will learn some things that you like and are healthy and cost nothing and take little effort. A side effect is that you will eat less meat because nothing is more bland and boring than meat. My foods have flavor. My foods are an adventure. I liked meat because I didn't know better and there's tons of vegans eating prepackaged garbage and still do not know better.
If you like meat too and you don't care that the rest of us pay for it, well there's nothing I can do anyway, but I want you to know it's at least possible to go from that to not liking meat and you won't be losing anything in the process.

You know, i had never thought about it but the over-consumption of meat is totally equatable to the systematic murder of over 6 million Jews and millions of other innocent people. Thanks Mark, I feel so enlightened now.

Mark Ruffalo, is that you?

"I ate my first real spinach when I was 19 years old "
Wow, I ate my first real spinach when I was 18- that was last year. It didn't change much, I suppose...

This is a wrong way to look at the problem. We are sick not b/c we eat meat but b/c there is the toxic herbicide Glyphosate in 80% of food in the grocery store! Glyphosate causes diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson, ADD, ADHD, autism, infertility, birth defects, destroys our health on the cellular level (mitochondria). Eating organic animal protein is healthy (grass fed and grass finished, living in the outdoors and fertilizing the soil!) Re the fart from cows problem, we could grow industrial hemp which uses up 3 times more CO2 than trees and can be used for thousands of industrial products, also for food. Vegetarian or vegan diet is not healthy! There are anti-nutrients in grains, beans, peas, lentils, nuts, seeds which inhibit absorption of minerals, and not even soaking them overnight and cooking removes the inhibitors. There are hundreds of chemical reactions taking place in the body every day, needing minerals, and these reactions don't take place when we are nutrient deficient, instead the body gets sick! I was a vegetarian and later a vegan, for total of 15 years and that's how I got sick! No joke!!! I thought I ate the healthiest diet on Earth b/c I believed in all the lies I learned while studying nutrition in college! I followed the high carb and low fat diet for decades! Remember one thing: proteins/amino acids are called "essential", fats are called "essential" b/c our body needs those nutrients, but carbs on the other hand are not essential! Eating vegetable proteins in form of beans, peas, lentils and grains is leading to a high carb diet and those carbs break down to sugar, leading to Candida overgrowth (together with high use of antibiotics which destroy our good gut bacteria, leaving space for bad bacteria and Candida yeast to grow and take over, and then disease is the result). Candida alone stands for 80 different health problems! With the high carb consumption of bread, pasta, pizza, breakfast cereals, nutrition bars, beans and nuts, also dairy which contains lactose sugar, we are killing ourselves! Society needs to go back to more local, and of course organic, food production! And also stop the rabbit speed procreation on this planet: China 1.4 B ppl, India 1.2 B ppl, Muslims around the world 1.6 B ppl bringing 8 (eight) children per woman to the world, while this planet has finite resources and we are running out of drinking water! This insane behavior needs to stop, or future wars won't be fought over oil or land but over drinking water!

WTF. Meat is causing the devastation of the environment, our health, and it's cruel, we dont need it... but he'll probably never stop eating meat. WTF. Is this the hypocrite TED channel?

Veganism is the way forward

If he wants factory farming to not be a reality and wants the carbon footprint lowered he shouldn't be advocating for meat in the slightest. As long as we are eating meat and the by products from livestock, factory farming and the carbon footprint will only rise. Truly the only solution is plain and simple and thats not eating meat. As he said even 9 years ago the industry is only going to grow and will keep growing until we stop being consumers of their products.
Although this is the case there are other options for eating meat and animal by-products. Theres a TED talk called "Leather and meat without killing animals" which has to be a thing for the future with the known unsustainability the livestock industry has for our planet. I encourage people to watch a great documentary on Netflix called Cowspiracy that explains all these environmental issues the livestock industry causes.

Органическая еда многим совершенно не по карману

В России такими отбросами не питаются.

This is a pretty good talk. It concerns me that he is still eating meat. There is no way one can raise and kill animals that could be considered humane. My thoughts are that we should reduce suffering for our fellow humans and other sentient animals on this planet. To that end, I am vegan.
