Preserving Food - You Are What You Eat: Joel MacCharles at TEDxToronto

[@garthlocklin6355]

Awesome! I started my journey 10 days ago; the first 5 days without processed foods or sugar gave me a slight headache. Eating healthier, saving money and lowering my A1c numbers for good are my goal. I already feel more energized!

[@meman6964]

Who is harvesting beavers for the flavor?? Is this a legitimate hunting job ? Is someone farming beavers??

[@happyness2096]

Got cured of PCOS with the herbal medicine from DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on KZbin whose channel was the primary convincing platform that made me use the herbs☘️

[@pushkardey]

i actually clapped at the end.... see ya back in the kitchen @joel

[@waynebow-gu7wr]

If you haven't got much space.... you can store your jars ( the one's that must breath ), in a broken down fridge. Keeps the insects out.. and the smells in.

[@100MileHikingClub]

Thank you Jackie! An earlier version of the speech included a bit more about that; specifically it is amazing to me that in 4 days of loitering, no one asked me what I was doing, offered help, greeted me or otherwise. I bought nothing and spent more than 40 hours in the grocery store in 4 days! Not sure they knew I was there... :)

[@bobstabio4201]

I've recently started my journey. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@DianaMikas]

Way to go Joel!! Back to basics is the way to go. Where can I get some of that Beaver ass juice? ;)

[@100MileHikingClub]

Thank you for sharing - it was a thrill and an honor and I am beyond thankful. I know I made some large claims in the video above - in the spirit of TED and TEDx, I have published a list of my speakers notes on our site (youtube won't allow me to share a direct link). If you can't find them there (wellpreserved DOT ca), send us a message and I'll send you a link...

Joel MacCharles gave a great presentation. Reading ingredients on the labels of food we buy can inspire us to cook in our own kitchen using simple fresh vegetables and fruits. The Farmers Market is a good source of fresh foods.

[@skubytube]

Fantastic lecture ! Informative .. shocking and funny ! Bravo !

[@RanouchaBKhedher123456789]

I'm not sure if I can make it to the end of the video it's really shocking!!!!

[@blindcheeseit]

I love farmers markets!!!

[@DanaJackson]

From beaver anus to strawberry jam, Joel broadens the minds and entices the palettes of the world wide web. Great job!

[@computerschreck]

Thank you for sharing your talk, I found it very resourceful. I'll try not to eat beaver butt any longer, lol.

[@jjelimbi]

Thank you for the great content

[@beccahday]

very likable guy, great message.

[@cosmefulanito2201]

why he points out two options: preserving food homemade or eating industrialized food? why cant it be both?

[@spol3278]

I am a biologician. I used to live in toronto. Ca't we sue for false advertizing. I

[@ValerieLugonja]

Incredible! Well done, Joel! You are singing my song. I appreciate your passion - and depth of investigation. Big hug,Valerie

[@AuburnMeadowFarm]

What a great job Joel! I have to wonder what the grocery store staff thought about the guy with the paper slider...

[@100MileHikingClub]

Heheh. In fairness, I didn't insert the word 'ASS' until the audience was in the room. Do first, ask for forgiveness later. :) But it was an anatomical discussion therefore no grief!?! I justified that Anthony Robbins was a world-class motivational speaker and said the F-Word at TED; hoped they'd forgive me for ASS here. :)

[@chikeller]

I've enjoyed your blog for only a few months and I've been canning jam, pickles and tomatoes for a couple of years. Happy to post this on my Facebook and Twitter accounts. My grocery store visits average maybe one time per month for condiments I'm just not gonna make. Glad others are having this conversation too. No beaver butt for me thank you.

[@naradaian9196]

just great Still worth watching

[@One-Ring-To-Rule-Them-All]

Awesome talk. Thank you, Joel!!! :)

[@100MileHikingClub]

haha! Thanks Computershreck! :) It can't be all that bad....can it? ;)

[@garima66]

super like and sensitively explained

[@davidmckechnie5198]

Joel, I will certainly be checking label's for beaver bums! Might give the gin and blueberries a go. As always, an inspirational presentation.

[@mdhopper]

Great speech!

[@100MileHikingClub]

Awesome Frank! We made some the next day! I was supposed to make it on stage but some last minute difficulties with the venue (we couldn't bring booze or glass onto stage) resulted in the 'pretend preserve!' Thankfully the non-pretend version is on my shelf. :)

[@Dr_Bombay]

i'm not surprised you had trouble getting clearance for glass or booze onstage. i was even wondering if you got a bit of grief for saying "beaver ass", haha : )

[@notavlogger5577]

Good day! Can i ask a permission to use your video for my lesson plan?

[@Expressfactz]

Why is Yt recomending this video in 2020

[@susanhart2051]

Thank you! I am 2 years new to canning and preserving. I started with tomatoes and spaghetti sauce and just this year made strawberry, raspberry and grape jam. I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation and reinforced what I already knew but feel like a minority.

[@jaygammy]

Thank you Joel! Long time WP reader, and new canner myself - your site and insight has been a driving force.

[@100MileHikingClub]

Thanks Anne-Marie; I'm picturing a bunch of beavers walking around without bums now. :)

[@imluvinyourmum]

I wiki'd it and it's the beaver scent gland mainly used in perfume, but why on earth would a burger need that?... What brand was it?

[@Dr_Bombay]

great talk! inspiring. i definitely have to spare some gin for blueberries in my future. : )

[@pattypedals]

Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing Joel. Liked your FB, shared your video and website. Keep them coming! Looking forward to my new garden next year and a heck of a lot of preserving!

[@TNJSRP]

GREAT speech! I'm going to try preserving some of my foods.

[@ghisycalleja9685]

Food company doesn't know how to spell spinach! grand possibly one of the only good foods in the product!

[@100MileHikingClub]

haha! YUM-O Diana! It was a lot of fun to say beaver ass on stage. :)

[@100MileHikingClub]

Jay, thanks for your support and kind words - keep canning and I want to hear how it's going! :)

[@100MileHikingClub]

Thanks Dana; big fan of you and what you do; thank you for your kindness... :)

[@annemarieegan]

Inspiring as always Joel...and those poor beavers' bums :o

[@100MileHikingClub]

I don't know that I'd have both at the same time Valerie! :)

[@JeffAttaway]

Well done and congrats Joel. Your blog is priceless.
