What does food mean to you, your community and our planet? With ​​personal accounts from the kitchen to the operating room, chef and content creator Jon Kung (@jonkung) and cardiologist Uma Valeti unpack how food cultivates creativity and offers opportunities to connect with and blend cultures. Exploring Valeti’s experiences developing a healthier meat alternative, they discuss what it takes to overcome the impossible — whether that’s saving a patient’s life or transforming ideas around traditional foods — and how we can all make steps towards more sustainable cooking. (This conversation is part of “TED Intersections,” a series featuring thought-provoking conversations between experts exploring ideas at the intersection of their experience.)

    Well for starters, if you’re a long time worker in the fast food business, I don’t foresee you having much of a job in the next 10 years as restaurant owners will want to downsize and automate. If you want a real job in the restaurant business, you’re gonna need to work for an independent restaurant.

      Well for starters…. Fast food workers were preserved in Pompeii. They’re not going anywhere

    What topics would you like to see Ted: Intersections cover in the future? The Moderator posted this in the chat. I thought I’d post that here so as we think about this we could post our suggestions and ideas here.

    Just leave meat the way it is!! And NO, my T-Bones and Ribeyes ARE NOT “unrecognizable by the time they get to the store”!! Whether they are cut up at the store, or cut up at the slaughter house, they will look THE EXACT SAME WAY

    Love this. Loved how much they did not shy away from conversation about meat.

    its so easy to get people to use this product. Make “old fashioned” meat too expensive due to carbon tax they have to use new and improved meat. Then only the rich will be able to have old fashioned food.
