99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Very few foods say more about
how we identify ourselves than beef.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm talking hamburgers
on the Fourth of July,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
ribeye on a fancy occasion,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
brisket for Rosh Hashanah,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or honestly,
refusing to eat beef altogether.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
These strong feelings might just
be why people keep eating beef.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Even as we learn more about
how much it costs the environment, our health,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or, as we saw with the pandemic,
our extremely fragile supply chains.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We traveled to Spain to meet people,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
asking the questions that beef lovers
all over the world are wondering,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where the hell do we go from here?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
TABLE STEAKS
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
It's your turn for spa day.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
Exactly.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
Look at how he is.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
He was nervous and now he's...
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
relaxed.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
They love it, you know?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
And it also makes the fat
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
that is under their skin
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
turn to muscle.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You like that, uh?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Free massage.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Carla) Here, on the plains
of northern Spain,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
José Gordon is raising
300 very happy cattle.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
I can't reach.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
Thanks.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
They spend their days roaming freely
and feasting on a special diet of grass,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
acorns, and local grains.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
Let them come and eat from your hand.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
- Whoa.
- Don't be scared.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
- Don't be afraid.
- Like this?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
Yeah.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's a little salad.
NOTE Paragraph
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Gordon's herd go on to become beef
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that many consider to be
the best in the world.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Most cattle are slaughtered
at age, one or two.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Gordon waits until his
are sometimes as old as 20.
NOTE Paragraph
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
(Carla) With these animals,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
it must be hard to slaughter them.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
Yes, it's very tough.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
On the other hand,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
what you're creating is
a very special energy, right?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The care Gordon gives his herd
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is nothing like the treatment they receive
at factory farms.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But growing International demand for beef,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
especially cheap options,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
has made industrial methods the norm
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
while also driving the market to be worth
more than 300 billion dollars.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And it's come at another cost.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Beef is estimated to be responsible
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for more than 15% percent
of the world's total carbon emissions.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the Amazon cattle, farming is
the leading cause of deforestation.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In the Amazon, cattle farming
is the leading cause of deforestation.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
(Carla) What do you think is the future
of the meat industry?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
(Gordon) I think that
for the meat industry's future,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
we must realize that
we have to produce quality meat.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 line:1
I think the meat world has to take a turn
and start being more conscientious.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
(Carla) For many people around the world
learning more about what's on their plate
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and how it got there,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
raises a question about the future of meat.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Should it not include meat at all?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
NOVAMEAT is a start-up banking on
people searching for alternatives.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Barcelona-based company is
producing steaks through 3D printing,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a method that's completely animal-free
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and designed to simulate the taste
and texture of the real thing.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wow, it's amazing.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
How long does it take
to print a whole steak?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Depends on the size.
This one is about 40 minutes.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What are the exact ingredients
that go into it?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This one, you have around 65-70% of water.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In terms of protein, you have 25%.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's a mixture of yellow pea protein,
rice protein, and then we have some oils.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, as you can see,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the big advantage is that you can get
the texture of a piece of meat,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it's surprising because it's composed
by all plant-based ingredients.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I got to say,
this looks a bit like chewing gum,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but I can see that the end result
is quite different as the look-like meat.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Can you imagine a future without meat?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Actually, the future of meat
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
will be composed not only of meat,
but of alternative to meat.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It doesn't need to be eating, you know,
pills and what we've seen in some movies.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One place that's 14th over. Meets
vision is the restaurant disfruta.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It was named one of the top ten
restaurants in the world last year
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and is led by Three Chefs who like
to experiment in their creative lab.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If someone was it up Robin do
like gardening is important.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, this is the Moment of Truth.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We just cooked, the three different
meats, and I'm about to try one.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Very exciting.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I like it.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I don't think I was expecting to get to
be so similar to me is what? I don't know.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Obviously. It doesn't taste like
a steak, but it's really close.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Jose go to Don's Restaurant, much like
his farm remains, rooted in Tradition.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But tradition is exactly where he
thinks he'll find the future of meet
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Vanessa Williams demented flow to
the river staff without Revere.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I did shoot. Are they still
just a moment, depression?
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
By a median. Document.
Number holiday maybe though.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Get deep beneath it.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
La Gente que está intentando
proceed, carne beetle.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Has the hospital in this
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the names Castlevania cause as
much or more secure than this.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You prefer to get to be using is
Ruby smoke anymore. That listen,
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I wasn't he do but I felt
this fruit around him.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's all of the stuff, you know study man.
99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Talking about cows, talking about
