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.

  • I always watch this talk when I feel like ordering a pizza or going to McDonald's. I've lost more than 20 pounds that way.

  • @thefredsociety Potatoes, rice, pasta, semolina, oats, polenta, legumes, mushrooms, nuts, fruit, avocado...etc. It is easy to reduce meat intake. Plus the extra variety is both delicious and a refreshing change.

  • i bet this guy is an obama bot. hanging out with pelosi and reid, drinking the kool aid

  • im assuming the statement "every scientist in the world now believes this" (speaking of global warming) is tongue in cheek because that would prove his ignorance right there. what about the laziness of Americans? I eat TONS of meat, and fastfood but im not fat? its called being active. industrialization=increase in quality of life. he fails to mention life expectancy has increased from 47 to over 78 from 1900 to now (even with all this "horrible" food and "global warming")

  • @JogBird your a fucking ass hole. you need to see teh world as it really is

  • this guys comes off as an elitist douche bag and is too preachy... gonna have a burger now

  • @Canuckette1, I second that.

  • @Trinitysx, Then stop eating plants and being an asshole. The irony in you.

  • @kzam717, Absolutely about Monsanto. One of the dirtiest corporations on earth.

  • @izisvi

    I don't actually take Vicodin. It's just a username.
