Climate Change and What You Eat - a podcast by WNYC

A recentNew York Times opinion videopromoted the idea of eating more insects to combat climate change.  Listeners call in to discuss ways they've changed their diet, with or without insect consumption, to help combat climate change.

Same! I gave up meat 7+ years ago strictly for climate change. The funny thing about quitting something, it opens your mind to trying something new! Yes, I have eaten crickets and scorpions…

@BrianLehrerI avoid food that comes in plastic containers - store roasted chickens, spinach and other salad greens, oatmeaal with plastic tops, deli food served in plastic, restaurant take-out food delivered in plastic.

My dog eats cricket dog food and he loves it! He has trouble processing typical dog food proteins and he has no issues with crickets!
