Salvando al Mundo comiendo insectos | Fernando Anciola | TEDxHumboldtMexicoCity


[Music]

they are thinking about it

I come with a feeding talk

and my first slides a paca and not

be relatively pretty but not the day

today is not going to try to make it

feel bad about eating meat or

embarrass them because of their habits

food

in fact I am carnivores and omnivores

as according to statistics the

most of you take I’m from

agreement on many things with the vegans

vegetarians with what if I’m not of

agreement is with the position he took at

respect to all the rest of us

to convert us to his cause

with this I mean the friend that everyone

we have on facebook that spain you with

videos of crushed chicks and cows

kicking and pigs that put alive

oven because obviously this does not

it works and it will all work with access

to the internet we would be vegan

vegetarians

if you see around you things are not

so then what I try to do

today is instead of appealing to their

emotions and making him feel bad is

explain them with facts because the cows

and more in general livestock farming threatens

our way of life and we are

bringing one step closer the

extinction but no statistics

more for a kilogram of meat for

produce it you need 100 milliliters

of water and it’s not that the cow gives 100

milliliters of drinking water and

turn into meat magically used

so much water because you need to water the

grass that you will then feed him

another data this one of all gases

greenhouses that produce the

livestock industry is responsible for 18

percent

this so that you have a bit of

perspective is more than all trains

planes and cars of the world combined

same takes up a huge amount of

space

it is estimated that 26 percent of the

Earth surface is used for

different activities of livestock

equal to once again so that they have a

little more sense of scale

this is more than the combined area of

china russia and the knife and as well as data

curious in united states of all

Biotic used 50 percent

they give them to the cows and I the problem

what I have with this is not that I let be

organic we are interfering a lot

with nature

in fact I could not care about nobbs

East

the problem here is something very much

more serious and that is that when you start

use so much of antibiotics to create a

environment where they can flourish

superbugs resistant to

antibiotics that we have and leaves the

open door for a pandemic against

which we will not really have any

defending

In summary, livestock contributes

directly and indirectly to the

deforestation air pollution

and water and global warming

It is clear then that the

Livestock is not a practice

sustainable clear today more or

least we manage

but if you go to the future between more

people there is housing on the planet more

food is needed to feed them and

if we continue as we are right now

feeding of cows and by

He removed sive ewes and more

amount of animals simply is not going to

have enough space and not have

enough food to feed the

we all need to make a change in

how we fed and I what they

I want to propose today is that

we started eating and sex shops in this

moment I hope you are wondering

the pros and cons of the entomophagy that

it’s not a quirky word for

eat insects what I think is

happening right now by their minds I know if it ‘s

ie just because they are not objectively

I’m not going to tell you that he sees in

this and it seems to them because it is not clear that

do not

when you crave the little pig

Vaquita or the burrito like this

cortadito is shaved is seasoned

olé rico y de laan with bonita

presentation on your plate

I think we can do this

be rich we can do the same with

insects

they are wondering at this moment

because it shows me so optimistic that in

five or ten years we are all eat

insects and the truth is that if you are in

the story this has already happened that

Western cultures take a

traditionally Asian community the

convert for your country and that in the

moment would have seemed to the

disgusting has already happened and I’m talking

of sushi that equal and you would not imagine

na

and now you can not because take two steps

in a mall without finding a

susic restaurant the only thing that

needed was that a chef in california

and mental california role and everyone what

we eat your uncles that the same can

we can do with the insects more is

give marketing and give a better

presentation at this moment the world

the people are as religious as here

estimated that around the world more or

less like 2,000 million

regularly eat insects that

include in your diet is especially in

asia still more especially in

thailand is known as the capital

of the world to eat insects and indeed

here in Mexico there is a rich and long

tradition of eating insects

scaly grasshoppers worms of maguey and

ants and probably several of

you have tried ever and

for all these people who already

consume is just making a change of

a meal or stop eating a meal

they ate and start eating or so that

anyway they consume roma

in fact it is so or more in all the rest

of us who are the majority who do not

more the idea of ​​eating insects us

It produces disgust and makes us put on

goosebumps

this because in fact if in all

aspects

the insect clergy as a source of food

exceed instead of winner is better

sustainable is healthy for us

in fact it has clear several depends the

insect species but it has a content

comparable protein, especially those

Chapulines occupies almost no space

in you can develop it in an environment

urban and you save costs and in the

burning fuel that entails

transporting it requires super little

water with a quantity of food

comparable put produce 40 times more

food made of insects and be

it really makes sense the problem is

in our perspective of this I believe

that with a few million that you

put the government that celebrities

famous athletes this actors what

will promote and especially if any

charismatic figure to which all

we want and that has really

a lot of influence in the world

officially promoted it I think that

we can really make this change and

clear an extremely radical path and

like all this kind of change this

begins with a change of perspective

then you are not going to seek out and

they find a spider they eat it or that

go straight to the market eat us

chapulines the only thing that I will ask

is that the next time you are

in one year his sandwich

We hope that in your soup since you

disgusts people do not call your mom

they think that seeing that could be more

rich thank you very much

[Applause]
