- The fifth annual TEDxToronto conference took place on September 26, 2013 at The Royal Conservatory of Music.
For our 2013 TEDxToronto Conference, all talks, performances and demos were rooted in our selected theme, "The Choices We Make."
About the Speaker:
Joel MacCharles is a home cook. His passion for food includes eating, cooking, growing, hunting, reading and writing about it. He is also passionate about studying and creating change for sustainability, small farmers and food security. He (with his partner Dana) has shared more than 1,700 articles and recipes on food-related topics (especially preserving food) through several online communities anchored by WellPreserved.ca. When not online, look for him at a Farmer's Market, Community Function or chatting to a Chef or Farmer about preserving.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Awesome! I started my journey 10 days ago; the first 5 days without processed foods or sugar gave me a slight headache. Eating healthier, saving money and lowering my A1c numbers for good are my goal. I already feel more energized!
Joel MacCharles gave a great presentation. Reading ingredients on the labels of food we buy can inspire us to cook in our own kitchen using simple fresh vegetables and fruits. The Farmers Market is a good source of fresh foods.
Thank you Jackie!
An earlier version of the speech included a bit more about that; specifically it is amazing to me that in 4 days of loitering, no one asked me what I was doing, offered help, greeted me or otherwise. I bought nothing and spent more than 40 hours in the grocery store in 4 days! Not sure they knew I was there... :)
Incredible! Well done, Joel! You are singing my song. I appreciate your passion - and depth of investigation. Big hug,Valerie
I've recently started my journey. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you Joel! Long time WP reader, and new canner myself - your site and insight has been a driving force.
I love farmers markets!!!
Thank you for sharing - it was a thrill and an honor and I am beyond thankful. I know I made some large claims in the video above - in the spirit of TED and TEDx, I have published a list of my speakers notes on our site (youtube won't allow me to share a direct link). If you can't find them there (wellpreserved DOT ca), send us a message and I'll send you a link...
I've enjoyed your blog for only a few months and I've been canning jam, pickles and tomatoes for a couple of years. Happy to post this on my Facebook and Twitter accounts. My grocery store visits average maybe one time per month for condiments I'm just not gonna make. Glad others are having this conversation too. No beaver butt for me thank you.
very likable guy, great message.
Thanks Dana; big fan of you and what you do; thank you for your kindness... :)
Thank you for the great content
If you haven't got much space.... you can store your jars ( the one's that must breath ), in a broken down fridge. Keeps the insects out.. and the smells in.
Awesome talk. Thank you, Joel!!! :)
Jay, thanks for your support and kind words - keep canning and I want to hear how it's going! :)
i actually clapped at the end.... see ya back in the kitchen @joel
Thank you! I am 2 years new to canning and preserving. I started with tomatoes and spaghetti sauce and just this year made strawberry, raspberry and grape jam. I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation and reinforced what I already knew but feel like a minority.
Thanks Jeff! Totally appreciated! :)
Well done and congrats Joel. Your blog is priceless.
super like and sensitively explained
Dave, thank you very much. Really appreciated. :)
Love!! Thanks!
Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing Joel. Liked your FB, shared your video and website. Keep them coming! Looking forward to my new garden next year and a heck of a lot of preserving!
GREAT speech! I'm going to try preserving some of my foods.
Fantastic lecture !
Informative .. shocking and funny ! Bravo !
I'm not sure if I can make it to the end of the video it's really shocking!!!!
Great speech!
Bravo! Well done Joel.
just great Still worth watching
What a great job Joel! I have to wonder what the grocery store staff thought about the guy with the paper slider...
Awesome Frank! We made some the next day! I was supposed to make it on stage but some last minute difficulties with the venue (we couldn't bring booze or glass onto stage) resulted in the 'pretend preserve!' Thankfully the non-pretend version is on my shelf. :)
Thanks @Jobeeism!
Way to go Joel!! Back to basics is the way to go. Where can I get some of that Beaver ass juice? ;)
Joel, I will certainly be checking label's for beaver bums! Might give the gin and blueberries a go. As always, an inspirational presentation.
Heheh. In fairness, I didn't insert the word 'ASS' until the audience was in the room. Do first, ask for forgiveness later. :) But it was an anatomical discussion therefore no grief!?! I justified that Anthony Robbins was a world-class motivational speaker and said the F-Word at TED; hoped they'd forgive me for ASS here. :)
Thank you for sharing your talk, I found it very resourceful. I'll try not to eat beaver butt any longer, lol.
Inspiring as always Joel...and those poor beavers' bums :o
why he points out two options: preserving food homemade or eating industrialized food? why cant it be both?
great talk! inspiring. i definitely have to spare some gin for blueberries in my future. : )
I don't know that I'd have both at the same time Valerie! :)
From beaver anus to strawberry jam, Joel broadens the minds and entices the palettes of the world wide web. Great job!
I wiki'd it and it's the beaver scent gland mainly used in perfume, but why on earth would a burger need that?... What brand was it?
haha! YUM-O Diana! It was a lot of fun to say beaver ass on stage. :)
I am a biologician. I used to live in toronto. Ca't we sue for false advertizing. I
Thanks Anne-Marie; I'm picturing a bunch of beavers walking around without bums now. :)
Good day! Can i ask a permission to use your video for my lesson plan?
i'm not surprised you had trouble getting clearance for glass or booze onstage. i was even wondering if you got a bit of grief for saying "beaver ass", haha : )
haha! Thanks Computershreck! :) It can't be all that bad....can it? ;)
Why is Yt recomending this video in 2020
Who is harvesting beavers for the flavor?? Is this a legitimate hunting job ? Is someone farming beavers??
Got cured of PCOS with the herbal medicine from DR RORPOPOR HERBAL on TH-cam whose channel was the primary convincing platform that made me use the herbs☘️
Thanks Joel Beaver ass & Blueberry Gin ♥
