Arguing for meat on South African tables, at TedXCapeTown.
Hello Reader
I was on the panel arguing for meat on our tables at a recent TedXCapeTown salon event.
Please click here to see the abridged version on youtube.
Also on the panel with me was Margot Janse, executive chef of Le Quartier Francais and Jacques Rosseau, who thankfully used all the big words and big ideas.
The main point I was trying to make is that we are all farmers by proxy and considering that agriculture is the greatest environmental polluter whilst mostly producing food that makes people sick we have to take that proxy seriously and choose regenerative farmers (the 1%) as opposed to destructive farmers (the 99%) every time we eat.

Love your “farmers by proxy” if you buy it your support it and too many people are still supporting factory farming.
but there are healthy vegan and vegetarian communities 🙂 http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/02/the-lovely-hill-where-people-live-longer-and-happier/272798/
