TEDxMidAtlantic - Joel Salatin - 11/5/09

[@jeffreytucker381]

Joe Salitan should be the head of the U.S. Department of Agricultural.

[@jeffreytucker381]

Agriculture *

[@FebbieG]

That would be fabulous, because he would dissolve it, and that would solve so many problems.

[@nicklewis604]

I have listened to this so many times, I tell everyone I know in leadership, everyone I know who leads that this is prime training material. Thanks

[@jollincones]

Joe Salatin is my hero. I am in school for soil science because of this mans philosophies.

[@ZandarKoad]

Sweet, just awesome. "We should make Joel Salatin head of Monsanto! Just imagine the quality of food they would produce!" If you can understand the problem with my preceding quote, you'll understand why it's futile to hope a new/different/better president will help America. Now or in a hundred years. Don't rely on Joel Salatin for your farming. BECOME > JOEL SALATIN! Don't delegate your responsibilities. Don't delegate food production, child education, or civil governance. Self govern.

[@redddbaron]

One brilliant man making a difference.

Great Info on Rasing and Consuming Healthy, Organic Chickens If you either consume or are thinking about raising chickens, then this will be time well spent. Would encourage you to watch some of Joel's other videos, especially those showcasing his large mobile chicken tractors. You should be able to locate thise by keying in Polyface Farm or Joe Salatin. Cheers to feeding our bodies "reel food." Thanks for sharing this video with us.

"If we devote ourselves to sacredness in our vocations, the world will rise to meet us". Amen to that!

[@user-zo6ch5zo8d]

This man is wise. We need more wise people like him handling our food, and less government that gets bought and paid by monsonto, big pharma, and the EPA. The FDA and USDA is rife with previous employees from monsonto and big pharma, and we're supposed to believe that's not a conflict of interest? Should be illegal and that fact that it's not, is proof it's intentional because that is so clearly dangerous. Prescription drugs are the 4th leading cause of death now, and that's not good enough for them. They have to drug our animals too?

[@ThanksgivingWalk]

Good "talk." The last five minutes is especially moving. Thanks for sharing.

[@whymistamista5614]

Read the Omnivore Dilemma, the author spends a week working on Joel's farm. It's amazing.

[@FyterianTV]

i'm glad this vid has zero dislikes :) Joel is a great man and i wish more shared his vision #paleo #JERF #AHS12 #TEDx

[@AnitaClue]

In 2019 it has 16 dislikes. But over 800 likes. :)

[@GnosticNinja]

Brilliant!

[@theatremutiny]

light indeed:)

[@ebrahimkamalmohiyuddin2914]

"When asked what is thessence of such and such they ask how can grow it fatter, faster, bigger cheaper?"

[@agusspp6551]

"We live in a culture (...) that simply asks how can we grow it fatter, faster, bigger, cheaper" Sounds to me like the kind of thing a capitalist society would do. Actually, yes, we can understand capitalism as a consequence of an anthropocentric culture, coming from the ideas of Abrahamic religions (men above nature, instead of part of it). Realising, then, that feedlots, industrial agriculture and so on are very fond to the ideas of maximize economic profits (specially short-term ones) at any cost, that come directly from Capitalism and they are destroying the world. It's simply logical to have that kind of disastrous agri-food systems in this hegemonic socio-economic system we live in.

16 food industry Chosenites hate this video.

wazup

[@ridinmabike]

Brilliant! Too bad this wasn't posted on the regular TedTalks channel - it would have received all of the exposure that it deserves.

[@onelovelivity]

Incredible. Inspiring. I love you Joel. I have tears listening to this. So much YES. Infusing sacredness into everything is the way.

[@whymistamista5614]

Terri Henry read the omnivores dilemma.

[@michaeloconnor9809]

What Salatin says flies in the face of Mother Nature or God. If his fields were not grazed then in just about 15 years young trees will dominate as part of Nature's successive. The herbivore prevents that.

[@impalapez]

LEAD BY EXAMPLE!!!! Always great to see amazing people walking the talk!!!!

[@JessicaLynnOriginalStudios]

agreed.. loved this.

[@buffeliscious]

I first read about this marvelous farmer in Michael Pollen's "Omnivores...". The question is, how does someone who embraces the sacredness of life with this truthful story get to have his story placed in front of the story full of lies that corporate america tells? The Monsanto story for instance, which tells us this old way of farming will "never feed the growing population, etc, etc, etc", gets full billing. If I see one more Monsanto ad in a progressive national magazine, I'll vomit.

[@sheraklassen4163]

Brilliant man! And his devotion to his craft is demonstrated by his willingness to share what he knows.

[@liquidresistance]

Excellence in Eggtastic Expression. I

[@joelserpentarius]

Thank you Universe. Thank you Joel Salatin.

Love this guy; he must be horrified with Trump.
