Episode 139: To Eat Bugs, or Not to Eat Bugs

The Food Fix

In this episode, Cassidy finally reveals that she's vegan, and then spends a few minutes yelling about it. But if you can get past her tone, you'll learn that meat consumption is huge source of fossil fuel emissions in the western world. Plant-based meats have become a valuable tool in addressing this issue, but that didn't sound like nearly as fun of an episode. People all across the world eat bugs, so why don't we? Listen as Cassidy interviews Laura Shine about the introduction of insects to western plates.
