Homaro Cantu + Ben Roche: Cooking as alchemy

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

www.ted.com Homaro Cantu and Ben Roche come from Moto, a Chicago restaurant that plays with new ways to cook and eat food. But beyond the fun and flavor-tripping, there's a serious intent: Can we use new food technology for good?
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes.

    Food miles are a small contributor to most foods' ecological footprint. Processing is a much larger portion. Even then, a lot of the proportionate food mileage is between the retailer and consumer. This is because of the exponential efficiency that comes with mass transit on a mass scale. Also, notice the emphasis on fooling the senses, without regard for the nutritional elements gained or lost.

    Of course. By introducing the select plant into an environment containing Bt-toxin an environmental pressure would be placed upon the plant. Almost all plants would be killed, but eventually - through random mutations and enough time - a mutation will result in an ability to survive Bt-toxin. These plants would they be able to flourish in the associated environment. The issue is that since it's random there is no way to do this in a timely or controlled manner. I hope that answered your question

I think both genetic moddification and what i will dub food alchemy is the future of a sustainable locally produced food supply

    Yes it showed that there was a thickening of the mucosa in the rats specifically fed the uncooked test crop. The study concluded that this occurred because of a nutritional deficiency that arose from an all-potato diet and then subsequent consumption of a raw potato that was roughly 20% lower in protein, starch, and sugar than the control. No sure if I believe that myself, it seems like a statistical error due to the small sample sizes, but no stunted growth or repressed immune systems were seen

    Right, instead of expressing BT-toxin locally in the parts of a plant we don't consume, we should instead just keep spraying it all over our "organic" crops. BT-toxin has been used as a pesticide since 1920, and because BT-toxin is derived from a natural resource (bacteria) it is perfectly legal to use it on organic crops. But people either don't know this or don't ever bring it up, when they mention how certain plants have been engineered to express BT-toxin in specific localized regions.

    I am not sure I buy a lot of this, it seem like a cool idea, but not real practical from the sound of it. If they could show they can take ingredients and make them into foods people like in mass quantities for as much or less then the current food, that would be awesome, but it sounds like the change of the foods flavor and texture is a costly and labor intensiveness process. Though the idea of barriers changing favors is very cool, well it is all very cool.

    Don't you guys get it? It's SUCH a good idea for the environment and a revolutionary idea for the world-market. If everyone ate "local" and foods could be morphed to suit their tastes, they'd A)Decrease their carbon footprint. B)Impact the outlook of major corporations C)Change the market of multiple 2nd and 3rd world countries (with some positive and negative effects which depend on each country). I'll elaborate on this if you message me about it. BUT: WHICH CLIMATE DO THE BERRIES GROW IN?

    I see your point here; the current way we get meat is so wasteful and environmentally destructive, which is why I'm very excited for meat to be produced in vitro. Not only is it more cost effective to only grow cells once, instead of multiple times for year(s), but then there is no issue with "fillers" - since the exact desirable cut of meat can be grown.

    "Genetic engineering is the process of breaking the natural boundaries that exist between species to produce new life forms that will produce a variety of desired traits. For example, genes from salmon can be spliced into tomatoes to make them more resistant to cold weather, thereby yielding a larger crop when the weather is less than favorable." This is NOT gene splicing.

    @srgwarcock Biodiversity helps fend off pests and diseases more so than genetic modification. Genetic modification has proven to create single strains of vegetation that may be resistant to disease and fend off pests, but often the pests become immune to the single strain. Likewise if the strain does become diseased, it is harder to stop it from growing due to the resistance bred into it by genetic modification. Look up "Round Up Ready" - all of this has been proven in canola.
