    Humankind is suffering from severe diverse health problems because of very disruptive notions like that of what consists of proper human nutrition

      Correct, and what groups or people are presenting these disruptive notions as proper nutrition?

      @ All those who rely heavily on carbs. Carbs outside are sugar inside. Which lead to metabolic syndrome whenever our body looses the ability to deal with all that sugar in the blood. Something that usually happens with aging. When we’re young our body can usually handle many abuse. And most common disease like cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, heart conditions they all come from abnormal metabolic conditions.
      Exercise alone doesn’t solve everything. We are what we eat.

      Instead of producing grains for animals (which by the way are not their usual diet and make their health fragile and eventually sick. This does not produce healthy meat to us) we should do like nature does, animals are grazing the herbs which push plants to do more photosynthesis which produce more carbohydrate compounds which is stock in the soil via their roots. This method of production produce meat and at the same time stock carbon in the soil. There is no other better method to produce food which at the same time, reduce greenhouse gases. Why are we always looking for a technical solution when nature is showing us the right way to do things. Why are we always thinking that we can do better than nature while nature is producing food for millions of years. Are we stupid?

    To think that an even more industrialized food system would solve the problems created by an industrialized food system is a very strange logic. We have to move in the opposite direction, get rid of the machinery and synthezied products, get our hands dirty and collaborate with nature on its own terms. Mankind's separation from the natural world is what is causing the ecological disaster - we have to move towards being integrated with the rest of the living planet. The future Mr Jarvis advocates is a Brave New World-kind of dystopia. The amount of energy needed for these synthetic food factories is enormous. Nature produces all the food we need for free, only through the natural process of photosynthesis.

      Dried mealworm is a tasty crunchy snack, with lots of protein. I eat them like others eat potato chips. The mealworms are healthier than chips, and taste better. If you haven't tried, you're missing out, and your complaint doesn't hold much weight. He's right that we can't order people to eat this or that, but there's nothing wrong with making suggestions and recommendations.

Seaweed is good food too, and I'd like to try the other things he mentions. He's right that we can't order people to eat this or that, but there's nothing wrong with making suggestions and recommendations. Governments in rich nations could certainly recommend eating less meat and more veggies, both for climate reasons and for health reasons. And support farmers in that transition.

    Love some of the ideas in this video, but if the site is up-to-date, Andy Jarvis currently works for the Bezos Earth Fund, so it's hard for me to judge how realistic some of these innovative ideas are. Unfortunately, there's a huge conflict of interest happening when one of the world's biggest billionaires hands out so much money to climate-related NGOs and charities. Read The Guardian article, "The Bezos Earth fund has pumped billions into climate and nature projects. So why are experts uneasy?" or other similar sources if you're wondering why.

    Did this guy just completely miss the fact that all plants have protein and as long as you get sufficient calories you will have sufficient protein? Or that our obsession with protein is not based in science?
    We really need to talk about why people aren't eating beans. According to “The end of Craving” it could be partially caused by added B vitamins in processed foods messing with our natural cravings for beans and whole grains.
    Anyways just eat plants and you'll save money and the planet.
    And government should subsidize fake meat but not fruits and vegetables and beans and nuts? Come on…

    1:47 i think this sentence can be misleading: he says animal agriculture accounts for half of agriculture's emissions, but he doesn't say that the other half (plant agriculture), a lot of it goes to feed animals, so if we ate those plants, the ecological benefit would be huge.
    search on youtube "does beef cause climate change? - nutrition made simple". the guy is an MD, PhD and unbiased science communicator. in this video, one of the study he presents literally says that if the world went vegan, it would cut global emissions by a whopping 28%. it would be "transformative" for ecology, as the study puts it.
    back to this ted talk here, what can i say, it's a politically correct talk, careful not to tell you what to eat, in order to not bother the rich and powerful animal food industries, but the truth is that animal agriculture needs to die as soon as possible, if we want to minimize the consequences of climate change. we are heading toward ecological crisis. we are already late. we WILL have a global warming of at least 2°C, which is bad. so why doesn't everyone talk about veganism? why isn't it taught in schools, universities, and on tv? because meat, fish, egg, and dairy industries are powerful. therefore the problem also has to do with capitalism, at least in its current state. you see, it's a tricky situation we're in. animal industries, like all industries, have incentive to keep growing, but in doing so they're destroying ecology.
    if one doesn't feel ready or able to go vegan, the least we should all do is avoid red meat, as that is by far the worst food for the planet.
    that being said, i'm not certain that a vegan diet will lead to good health and good mental health for everyone in the long term. i'm not certain of that. so if you wanna try veganism, do it and see how it goes for you. on paper or in theory, a well-planned vegan diet is the best diet overall (for health, ecology and ethics). taste depends on your cooking skills. i'm currently trying to learn from Simnett Nutrition's cookbooks (he's a vegan youtuber).
    don't go vegan if you don't know what you're doing in terms of nutrition. the recommended healthy food groups (whether you're vegan or not) are the following: whole grains, legumes, fruit, vegetables, nuts and seed, non-tropical oils. i'm currently trying veganism myself and i take the following supplements: a multivitamin, choline, vitamin d, algae oil, and most importantly vitamin b12 (2000 mcg of cyanocobalamin once a week on an empty stomach). for calcium you can include tofu and calcium-fortified plant milks into your diet. feel free to work with a nutrition expert.
    enter your typical diet on Cronometer to familiarize yourself with all the nutrients and to get an idea if your diet is nutritionally complete. you can also google "optimum nutrient recommendations" to see what nutrients Dr Greger recommends for vegans to pay attention to. you can also google any nutrient followed by the word "ods" to have institutional information on that nutrient and in Table 2 you see the list of foods that are richest in that nutrient.
    that's all i have to say.
