Derek Sarno: The many reasons to eat a plant-based diet | TED Countdown

Prevodilac: Ivana Korom Lektor: Milenka Okuka

Hi, I’m Derek Sarno.

Zdravo, ja sam Derek Sarno.

I'm a vegan chef.

Ja sam veganski šef.

I specialize in bringing mushrooms and veg to the center plate

Moja specijalnost je stavljanje pečuraka i povrća u fokus,

by unleashing the mighty flavors of plants.

oslobađanjem moćnih ukusa biljaka.

I cofounded a plant-based food company

Osnovao sam kompaniju zasnovanu na biljkama

called Wicked Kitchen,

pod nazivom Wicked Kitchen,

and I lead plant-based innovation

i predvodim inovacije na bazi biljaka

at one of the world's largest grocery retailers.

za jedan od najvećih lanaca maloprodaje u svetu.

In case you’re wondering what plant-based and vegan means,

Ako se pitate šta znači na bazi biljaka i vegansko,

it's super simple.

vrlo je jednostavno.

Vegan and plant-based foods are entirely free from animals

Veganska i ishrana na bazi biljaka nema veze sa životinjama

and from their byproducts.

i proizvodima od životinja.

Think no animals harmed nor killed.

Životinje nisu povređene niti ubijene.

No meat, no fish, no dairy milk or eggs are used at all.

Uopšte se ne koristi meso, riba, mleko ili jaja.

Just amazing plants.

Samo izuzetne biljke.

Vegetarianism also doesn't contain animals or fish,

Vegetarijanska ishrana takođe ne sadrži životinje ili ribu,

but allows dairy and eggs,

ali dozvoljava mlečne proizvode i jaja,

the byproducts taken from animals.

proizvode koje uzimamo od životinja.

Here are a couple of vegan things that I've made recently.

Evo nekih veganskih stvari koje sam nedavno napravio.

A steak? No way.

Šnicla? Nema šanse.

Actually, there are no T-bones about this.

U stvari, ovde uopšte nema kostiju.

It's made of lion's mane mushrooms,

Napravljena je od pečurke lavlja griva,

the barbecue butter sauce, cast-iron seared,

roštilj sosa od putera, pečena u tiganju od gvožđa,

one of the most nutritious mushrooms on Earth

jedna od najhranljivijih pečurki na planeti

and known to be brain-boosting.

za koju se zna da je dobra za mozak.

Pressed Greek-inspired souvlaki steak sandwiches

Sendviči sa govedinom inspirisani grčkim suvlakijem

with all the fixings?

sa svim prilozima?

This one is made with supersexy,

Ovaj je napravljen sa super seksi,

delicious brown oyster mushrooms.

ukusnim bukovačama.

Grilled pepper steak kebabs?

Grilovani ćevapi od govedine i paprike?

Great on the barbecue.

Odlični na roštilju.

Packed with punchy flavors and made with the super versatile

Prepuni pikantnih ukusa i napravljeni od izuzetno prilagodljivih

and delicious king oyster mushrooms.

i veoma ukusnih kraljevskih bukovača.

Yes, all of these are plant-based,

Da, sve ovo je zasnovano na biljkama

and all of these are done with a variety of mushrooms.

i sve napravljeno od raznih pečuraka.

Why is this so important?

Zašto je ovo tako važno?

Meat eating is linked to climate change.

Konzumiranje mesa povezano je sa klimatskim promenama.

Eating animals and animal agriculture

Konzumiranje životinja i gajenje životinja

is the leading cause of rainforest deforestation.

je vodeći uzrok seče tropskih šuma.

Meat production is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions,

Proizvodnja mesa je značajan izvor emisije gasova staklene bašte,

and there is a reason moms and doctors tell us to eat more veg.

i postoji razlog zašto mame i lekari govore da jedemo više povrća.

That's partly why I'm a vegan chef.

To je deo razloga zašto sam veganski šef.

My other reason has to do with grief

Drugi razlog ima veze sa tugom

and dealing with the unexpected death of losing my partner.

i izlaženjem na kraj sa neočekivanom smrću moje partnerke.

The suffering and grief I felt was suffocating.

Gušile su me patnja i tuga koje sam osećao.

I had two choices:

Imao sam dva izbora:

to go down a road of self-destruction

da idem putem samodestrukcije

or accept what had happened and find a way through it.

ili da prihvatim šta se desilo i pronađem izlaz iz toga.

The loss of Amanda made me realize

Gubitak Amande me je naveo da shvatim

my whole life to that point was based on ego and attachment.

da je ceo moj život do tada bio baziran na egu i vezivanju.

Being the best,

Da budem najbolji,

cooking anything and everything without a second thought

da skuvam sve i svašta bez razmišljanja

as to the consequences of my actions.

o posledicama mojih postupaka.

As long as the food tasted great and I was paid well for it,

Dok je hrana bila ukusna i dok sam za to bio plaćen,

I didn't care where it came from

nije me bilo briga odakle dolazi

or if it was animals

ili da li je od životinja

or the implications and consequences that had.

ili koje su implikacije i posledice toga.

Long story short,

Da skratim priču,

I ended up laying my old self to rest.

na kraju sam napustio starog sebe.

Selling off the food business

Prodao sam posao sa hranom

and living in a Buddhist monastery for three years,

i živeo u budističkom manastiru tri godine,

where I learned to sit and studied compassion

gde sam naučio da sedim i proučavao sam saosećajnost

and how my mind worked.

i kako moj mozak radi.

What I discovered was a connection to food and heart that I had ignored.

Otkrio sam povezanost sa hranom i srcem koju sam ignorisao.

Animals suffer just as we do.

Životinje pate baš kao i mi.

From then on, it became my mission to find alternative ways

Od tada, moja misija je postala da pronađem alternativne načine

to prepare amazing food

da spremam izuzetnu hranu

that not only benefited people

koja ne samo da godi ljudima

but avoided animal suffering as well.

nego i ne nanosi patnju životinjama.

That time reflecting and learning

To vreme refleksije i učenja

helped me reorientate my own moral compass

mi je pomoglo da preorijentišem svoj moralni kompas

and opened up a whole new world of creative cooking.

i otvorilo čitav novi svet kreativnog kuvanja.

It also helped me become much less of a jerk.

Takođe mi je pomoglo da postanem manji kreten.

There are so many reasons to eat plant-based,

Postoji mnogo razloga za ishranu baziranu na biljkama,

and any reason that resonates with you

i svaki razlog koji vama odgovara

is the best reason.

je najbolji razlog.

I understand it's not always easy.

Razumem da nije uvek lako.

But eating even one plant-based meal a day

Ali čak i ako jedete jedan biljni obrok dnevno,

makes a huge difference.

to ima ogroman uticaj.

I used to be a long time meat eater.

Dugo sam jeo meso.

As a "regular" chef, I used to cook lots of meat

Kao “običan” kuvar, pripremao sam mnogo mesa

and never made that connection

i nikad nisam povezao

that they're living beings just like us,

da su to živa bića kao i mi,

with feelings, emotions and families.

sa osećanjima, emocijama, porodicama.

I'm now on a mission to unleash the mighty power of plants,

Sada sam na misiji da oslobodim snažnu moć biljaka,

to create foods that we crave,

da stvaram hranu za kojom žudimo,

full of flavors and textures

punu tekstura i ukusa

that are more nutritious and better for us and the planet.

koja je hranljivija i bolja i za nas i za planetu.

I believe in compassionate action,

Verujem u činjenje iz saosećanja

and the way I express that is through cooking

i to izražavam kroz kuvanje

and developing amazing recipes

i razvijanje sjajnih recepata

that inspire and teach people

koji inspirišu i uče ljude

how to make and eat delicious foods without animals.

kako da prave i jedu ukusnu hranu bez životinja.

Vegan food for meat eaters and vegans alike,

Veganska hrana za mesojede, ali i za vegane,

because, like most people,

jer, kao i većina ljudi,

I want to save the animals and the planet,

želim da spasem životinje i planetu,

but there's no way that's going to happen

ali to se neće desiti

if I have to compromise on taste.

ako moram da žrtvujem ukus.

Thank you.

Hvala.
