How I fell in love with a fish - Dan Barber

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/less...
Chef Dan Barber squares off with a dilemma facing many chefs today: how to keep fish on the menu. With impeccable research and deadpan humor, he chronicles his pursuit of a sustainable fish he could love and the foodie's honeymoon he's enjoyed since discovering an outrageously delicious fish raised using a revolutionary farming method in Spain.
Talk by Dan Barber.

One of the best ted speaker

[@3002321542]

This man is an excellent speaker.

[@kbidogg1]

Amazing. Agricultural sector really needs to follow this model

[@elmo2you]

This man has a very acute sense of/for humor. I love people like that. Very entertaining talk. As a bonus, I even got a wiser while being entertained :-)

[@midvolcano-4581]

noone l ikes you.

[@Johnny_Ultimate]

Watched this one about a year ago. One of the best Ted talks of all time.

[@midvolcano-4581]

noone l ikes you.

[@Meximagician]

The trick it seems is to find out what the area was before it was turned into farmland, then choose the renewable resources you want to harvest from the original system. Money is saved by using natural inputs instead of buying them, like the canal water in his example. It takes some specialized planning and a big initial investment, but that's not too different from normal farms either.

[@Lofa114]

Wow, great presentation. Very enlightening and interesting.

[@GigaBoost]

Man, that one guy in the audience

[@edja7772]

Great. Thank you Ser! This question needs to be raised

[@BatteryAcid1103]

We need more Miguels! :P

[@ggiento]

That was GREAT.

[@jayrush01]

He does. Seinfeld once asked "whats the deal with airplane food?" people took it as a joke, but i think he was trying to make people aware of the sustainability of airplane food.

[@anirbanpatra3017]

He should get more likes

[@Psyadin2]

great speaker this guy, and a good point, business today only thinks about their next quarterly review, not the results in 10-20-50 years ahead

[@ManNamedSmith]

actually amino acids are the basic building blocks to all life, amino acids group together inorder to form proteins and proteins group together to form muscles and living tissue.

[@ThisIsMissLys]

What a bizarre topic to be so damn interesting. Very engaging speaker!

[@TheMisterWeirdo]

A smile at the end doesnt make your comment more nicer ^^... He didnt say "Nice video, watched it all" or something like that. He wrote "Nice". maybe he meant he liked that a video about fish was uploaded.. you never know.

[@darekjapan]

He is right. J use to do it in small scale. It works !!!

[@mktzvxp]

It doesn't get uploaded everywhere in the world in exactly the same time.

[@kimpeater1]

"What the hell is a sustainable protein?" lol indeed

[@MrTartlet]

I like the guy with an open mouth at 2:15. =)

[@CountR2]

I find it interesting that people keep laughing about all of these "revolutionary" ideas. I know I certainly laughed. Laughter is a way of dealing with things that are unexpected and to me the fact that people are laughing as these proposed ideas demonstrates how deeply we've internalized the concepts of the modern agrochemical methodology of farming.

[@Dan_Cattell_Art]

This is an old video. It's been uploaded before and is also on Netflix.

[@geraldkamp8584]

i want fish now for some reason. love the video.

[@匚尺丂乇-k3v]

It's working 👁️👁️

[@Brandolupa]

my only question is you are for local farms and such...how would you change things so those family farms can stay in business? i am from a farming and ranching community and i have seen several family farms have to be sold off due to being unable to stay afloat.

[@scott3462]

If you farm intensively the inputs tend to increase as you deplete the soil. If you farmed in such a way as to restore the soil, your business model would make more sense.

[@wizzmatik]

Great video. I'm so proud of the shift that seems to be occurring

[@midvolcano-4581]

noone l ikes you.

[@xXNiftyLlamaXx]

You know, hangin out with Caaaaaaaarl.

[@cynthiafrazier6970]

That's something you don't type every day

[@SauloGoki]

awesome.

[@dyarray]

Very entertaining and very informative of how we can change the world for better. Would be nice to have no more machines processing food but to have ecosystems make the food.

[@ckyborg]

Nice!

[@m.vfoodcourt3779]

Ghol fish ideas any tell me

[@ckyborg]

I don't know but... IL BE BACK. Lol couldn't think of any other terminator quote :)

[@Sybato]

"i'm in love with a fish"

[@JasonDoege]

So what was this fish?

[@jacquelinnepauda9443]

I just saw the video because my teacher asked me for it and it made me very interesting

[@tamiramos5873]

This guy should be talking to the people who control the situations at the federal agency known as USAID.

[@iShorty112519]

Well to be fair it's already been uploaded on TED.com if I'm not mistaken... It's possible he could have seen it already? I know I have, this is a nice video :)

[@executed.4967]

cmon cuh now i gotta do some assignment cause of you

[@jacquelinnepauda9443]

Come on, the comments had a greater view than the video

[@mulimotola44]

I seriously hope you're fuckin' with me now

[@modkip25]

cool story bro

[@riderlibertas2580]

Very interesting talk but I would like to have seen mercury addressed.

[@scott3462]

mercury is every freshwater source. all over the world. All from coal.

[@TPAwquDDPLHJAdddorvtXdrkDdbjzz]

Add To "Favorites"

[@CarlosIlich94]

its on netflix buddy

[@Bansheeflyr]

O COME on...let him have his first comment! AT LEAST he didn't say first!

[@xXNiftyLlamaXx]

Brother.

[@jeeling]

What happened to the animations?

[@JungleJargon]

Matter is the essential working parts inside of you and working parts never exist without being made.

[@agalv9017]

Shit I think I'm starting to fall in love too

[@Kipah]

Odd guy doing peace signs at 18:52...

[@ckyborg]

I am a robot.

[@Niragan]

IF YOU LOVE THAT FISH SO MUCH WHY DONT YOU MARRY IT??

[@nepaliman5716]

Too

[@CepheusStarhowl]

That was his point near the end; that business model needs to change, it's old, tired, and grossly inefficient. Here's to hoping.

[@sshantobia1]

heyyyy im gonna drink some atlantic ocean near their and finna drink it

[@JungleJargon]

The problem is that matter does not direct, matter is what is directed and that proves your Maker is not made of matter because matter only ever is what it is forced to be and matter only ever does what it is forced to do. Since your Maker is not made of or limited by the fabrication of time and space that He made to work inside of us, He is what is all knowing and all powerful regardless of the relative state of matter that is subject to be changed by Him at any time.

[@JungleJargon]

This is one of the better videos I have seen. One more question, how do we prepare for eternity? Answer: Not without our Maker.

[@JungleJargon]

There is no evidence that any working parts ever existed without being made to work. No part on a car ever made itself.

[@cynthiafrazier6970]

Or...did he eat the fish he feel in love with?

[@cynthiafrazier6970]

Soooo...did he marry the fish?

[@JungleJargon]

Matter is the only physical choice you have for a natural origin of life. Matter is programmed whether you accept it or not and matter did not programme itself so your Maker is not made of matter.

[@MattacksRC]

great talk. I found the way he speaks very Obama like..

[@fischer3x3]

thumps up

[@midvolcano-4581]

thumbs down

[@JungleJargon]

Nothing in time space is able to programme anything without first being programmed to do something. One step at a time, you have to first understand that you have a Maker before you can know all that He has done for you Himself because no one else can.

[@thetruthalwaysscary]

I agree 99% what he says. When he talks about inequality is what I don't. He walks on the way that comes out as communism at the end of a little longer presentation. The 3rd world countries with thew 1 billion hungry people would have been developed long if there is no pressure from 1st world environmentalists Environmentalists who live in clean homes, use electricity generated by both fossil, water and atomic power but want to deny the same from the part of the world they try to "save". When you scratch the surface everything seems black and white, but when you dig deeper, it is often so called good intentions that are financially supported by large corporations, who';s interest that those countries do not develop. When a country develops it also develops it's ability to keep the environment clean, just as it happened the example in Spain.

[@GamerDeno]

The smug.

[@JungleJargon]

Science assumes matter did billions of things that it has never been observed doing. That is your positive assertion so you have to prove it before you can say matter did anything at all.

[@Kano61]

That joke is NOT funny anymore

[@JungleJargon]

Some ground rules in physics. Matter only ever is what it is forced to be and matter only ever does what it is forced to do. All forces in the universe are random unless otherwise directed. Matter does not direct. Matter is what is directed. So the programmable programmed matter inside of you proves your Maker is not made of matter because matter is not able to make itself programmable and matter is not able to programme itself. No physical thing in nature is able to make or programme anything.

[@Mymi369]

What actually the moral of this video?

[@Gnasherr69]

every single one of those problems would be solved if it wasn't for overpopulation, same for massive amounts of other problems

[@aducksecho]

Not funny

[@skyfaze]

feed the predators!!

[@brownturtles7961]

What the fuck?

[@2nd3rd1st]

He speaks like a white Barack Obama. Pretty awesome. :)

[@JungleJargon]

You are still assuming that matter made you. Matter is all there is in the physical universe and matter is not able to make you without first having a preexisting written word to do so. The programmable programmed matter inside of you proves you have a Maker not made of matter because matter is not able to make itself prograammable and matter is not able to programme itself.

[@gonpochime8302]

maniac!? I didt know being human is to be a maniac.What gives you the authority to tell people how to live there lives.

[@Duvmasta]

Why is he using humor?

[@litojonny]

gay fish

[@eveastardust3747]

He loves the taste of fish, he doesn't love fish or he wouldn't eat them. I don't love fish, I respect other life. I don't need to eat them to live: sustainability question solved.

[@mulimotola44]

no authority needed. When the human sees massacre of fish, and he simply decides to find workarounds to getting more fish, he's a freakin' maniac. Is it really that hard to see the problem with that? What's the difference between animal flesh and human flesh? None So if you decide to eat dead animals and you're out, start eating dead humans, there's plenty, and the amino acids are more resourceful for you. Now, just saying that, does it not sound like being a maniac? It's common sense dude

[@JungleJargon]

Solar systems have no written directives so your analogy fails.
