hey here's something interesting an estimated eighty percent of the world
population considers insects a commonplace food source and it appears
that is beating me becomes increasingly costly that bugs me actually hit western
dinner tables too
now gerald there is a huge reaction to our discussion on last bonus show about
your hedonism yet you know some people angry that year you don't you're not
vegan when you go out to eat your only vegetarian people saying that
hypocritical
and uh... i'll just a lot of allot of how about
would you consider
something like grasshoppers if it was going to be both held will hold off on
and that was shown to be both healthy
good for the environment
and uh... good for the body and i don't know
absolutely not you know and what people don't get is
i'm not an activist i don't put a moral stance on this
i simply don't want to eat meat simply because of my own personal reasons
any sort of insect you could convince me that it has the highest amount forty
babbar unjust parsley finely disgusting
and that's the only thing that i need to explore provide diet and that's what
i've been using
as its gonna stay in addition of this a researcher now is working on a system of
growing meet from stem cells muscles themselves
and uh... but i guess carol phil wood needed because as i remember from the
last show his reason for nineteen years that's not good for the body
but the people and i don't know about the apples like if if ifdef i hate
letter if i'd need a ticket because the bottom i would i would kill the animal
black belt
it has nothing to do with my caring of the animals
just i don't think it's natural
for the people who are vegetarians and you know i think it's animal cruelty eat
animals period
uh... you know this might make a mediator
the the me grown from well that's another topic eleven even when i get
into that damning grasshoppers
i mean i must you prove that they don't feel pain they could still be in
faltering
yes in the netherlands there's a company called bugs originals which recently
developed pesto flavored bug nuggets and also a trucker chocolate-covered
uh... bars made from crushed meal worms which are the larva darkened beetle
and uh... they're selling freeze-dried locust there selling meal worms to local
outlets
and the idea is to get consumers to embrace blogs as an it go friendly
alternative to conventional meat
and ike apparently the worldwide meet demand is going to double by twenty
fifty
and if you've got farm raised crickets locus meal worms
this could be comparable nutrition
hw natural resources relative to portray a livestock and i mean look at cricket
for example crickets can convert feed to body mass twice as efficiently as a pig
and her five times as efficiently as cattle so this could be
great for the invite
how i would just come at my first mind tells me that n six
a much better protein source and then traditional animals that we
but you're not into like a grasshopper cookie for example
map not going inside of me
interesting
i think that there's going to be another problem which is that in the u_s_
there's also a lot of stigmatized insect threatening cockroaches and flies
i don't think no matter what
kind of argument you can make about the health benefits of a cockroach i think
it's going to be tough to making that case in the u_s_
according to a couple of different experts on this
cockroaches are particularly media anyway
so it wouldn't be the ideal insect but this has been going on for awhile and
other parts of the world
and we've been seeing others there's t_v_ shows and food network where
there's a lot of bug eating and and live were meeting going on
personally i i'm having trouble imagining under the okay i i i don't
even like eating
i mean mine meet eating habits are very very basic chicken
turkey
fish and seafood are not even into red meat particularly i will have
but michael and i couldn't tell you the last time i had laminated that
trial within ten or fifteen years
and i just don't see this appealing to me the grasshopper uh...
why i mean do you not like me or do you just think it's
wrong to even traded as as little as five no i just i i i never really get a
hankering to order a stake diary one word argentina
because the the the beef is particularly good there are whilst i have state once
or twice
but in the u_s_ i would just never think i would uh... i rarely we think that by
impex take on my own
and i just would never think of ordering stake in a restaurant i don't know
i'd just enough so could get up at what what it would it leader any situation
you can envision eating grasshoppers or going back to eating meat there
i'd have to be starving i mean if i'm in a situation where
i have no other alternatives available to me
actually i'm going to keep me in order to survive and grass i was going to be
the last choice
but short of that in cash i can't think of any other scenario that would start
me back beating it amble there it is let's take a break make sure to like the
