Episode notes

There's less fear factory type things out there now. I think of like, a older ded in a tommy bahama shirt hosting a food travel show and being like, oh, about to eat some grubs. So embracing different foods and cultures is not only a better way to experience what it means to be human, but also, maybe we can stop the apocalypse by eating more grasshoppers. Please do not writ that down while riding a horse or giving someone a close shave.

DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE APOCALYPSE? Okay cool. No matter what your diet, get this episode in your ears. Entomophagy Anthropologist Dr. Julie Lesnik -- an enthusiastic expert on bug eating -- breaks down the human past, present and future of insect cuisine for our surging population. If you're considering cutting back on meat, or if you're a vegan helping others explore more sustainable options, Dr. Lesnik will get you pumped as hell for changing mindsets. We talk about grasshopper tacos, ant omelettes, the nature of life, humane bug slaughter, water conservation, deep-fried scorpions, at-home mealworm farming, cricket chips, protein needs and the cultural biases that are literally killing us. Also: termite farts.
