What if we flip the standard from animal-based to plant-based food? | Lisa Stel | TEDxAmsterdamWomen

Our global food system is anything but future-proof. Meat and other animal products are still the standard nowadays. While we know that, for several reasons, we should shift towards a more plant-based diet. Today, Lisa talks about what happens when we switch the default from animal-based to plant-based food and give people the choice to opt in for meals with animal products. What will that bring us? Lisa Stel is an entrepreneur, author, consultant and founder of Lisa goes Vegan and Smarter Food Choices. Through her platform Lisa goes Vegan, Lisa aims to demonstrate how a transition to a more plant-based food pattern/diet can have a profound and positive impact on matters such as animal & human welfare, reducing carbon footprint, circularity and the environment in general. With her enterprise Smarter Food Choices, she provides guidance to professional food service operators such as caterers, festivals, company restaurants and governmental institutions on offering a more sustainable food supply. Lisa loves thinking outside the box and she's always up for new challenges. Besides her two award winning cookbooks, she was listed several times as one of the top 100 Dutch Sustainable Young Entrepreneurs. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Do you need promote your channel

Those who choose to be a vegan managed to do so because of animal foods for the critical part of their life. I have not seen any vegan, who has been a vegan since a baby, say since 1 month old. They become vegan after having received animal food before switching to veganism.
If vegan or vegetarian is the healthiest way of eating, show us, the animal food lovers, 10 TRUE VEGANS whom have adopted veganism or vegetarian since birth.

Or just do what science says and stop asking for ridiculous examples for proof to stop participating in animal cruelty

Emily deschanels (from bones) son started vegan from womb to at least 8 years old,, not arguing at all but I found that unique

In India, majority of South Indian hindus r vegans, they r very smart due to it, CEO of Microsoft, Google, etc

[@nurisadiandalu4382]

@@Fierce77551 So?! Mahatma Gandhi even admitted that he must consume some animal based foods to keep his health from deteriorating. I think Gandhi is a much more important figure for India than those CEOs. Japanese eat a lot of fishes, look at how many nobel prize winners out of Japan. As a matter of fact, many prominent figures in the history of mankind were meat eaters.

[@Volkskomissar]

We are humans not cows. Veganism is the new feminism. Everything radical is unhealthy. Balance is key.

[@omegabased]

Wrong. Compassion was always the key, but it’s forever been eclipsed by ignorance like yours.
Tell me, what quality do animals have that makes it okay for you to justify torturing them for your products?

[@lap9]

The science disagrees with your statement.
What's radical is believing in a system that enslaves and kills billions of animals which is harming our planet and human health.

[@GroshTheGod]

I find it interesting all the vegan preaching talks yet TEDx removed the video done by Mikhaila Peterson Where she explains in her TEDx talk how a red meat only diet solved many of her rather serious health problems but we cant have that message getting spread now-a-days.

[@lap9]

That's probably because red meat is a group 2a carcinogen which is linked to cancer.
Why would TEDx want to showcase a talk promoting a diet that increases your risk of cancer? We're trying to educate people on diets that are healthy and reduce peoples risk factor of disease.

[@bestbehave]

As we can't see it, please can you enlighten us on the specific nutrient that she was missing?

[@Astro_Gorilla]

There is a difference between the anecdotal experience of 1 versus the science and data that backs having a majority of your diet coming from plants.
There are no long term studies on carnivore diet and there are genuine concerns regarding large amounts of red meat and bowel cancers. One of the few studies have shown that bad LDL cholesterol rises.
The Peterson story is no doubt interesting and one to be reviewed but it is poorly researched and due to her very particular disease profile may be very useful only to a few people.
There is also a load of evidence to suggest that rather than being the removal of plants or the eating of meat that creates the positive outcomes for many of these diets it is actually the removal of junk ultra processed foods and the chemicals that they are full of, many of them cause inflammation and damage your gut microbiome which is being found to be increasingly important for all our health.

TEDx do you allow non vegan speakers? Or to counter veganism we nonvegans should first be seem to be a vegan to be accepted as a speaker, then on the show debunk veganism..
