From the transcript
You can also follow them without talking about them because they go without saying, you know. "Oh, okay, that's evident." And for example, another friend of mine pays close attention to the quality and the precision of the fish cuts, you know, cutting the fish the perfect way. He doesn't say, "You must pay respect to the fish." He's just doing it in practice, you know, being a accurate in cutting the fish. So returning to what I was saying earlier about the work of the anthropologist, French anthropologist Charles Képanoff, one can consider that what I have described about traditional food corresponds to the notion of dense social ecological networks developed by this French scholar. These networks are made up of multi-species and are crisscrossed by multidimensional connections between humans and between humans and the living world.
