Crickets are part of a larger insect-based diet enjoyed in most parts of the world. Loaded with vitamins, minerals and protein, and green to boot, crickets could help solve some of the world's food problems if Europe and America get on board. Learn all about cricket farming in this classic episode.
# Summary
Josh and Chuck dive into the world of cricket farming and why insects might just be humanity's protein solution as traditional meat production strains our planet's resources. They explore the environmental impact of beef consumption, how a UN report sparked the cricket industry boom, and why Western countries have historically avoided eating bugs while the rest of the world embraces them as a nutritious staple. Along the way, they discuss the incredible efficiency of crickets compared to livestock, chat about the allergies that made Chuck hesitant to try fried locusts, and share their thoughts on the cricket-based snack company Chirps from Shark Tank.
