00:00Picture a farm. No, no, no, no, a modern farm. Squeeze them a little closer. Okay, 99% of the
00:09meat that you eat was raised in an environment kind of like this. But what if we could do this
00:15differently? Let's face it, modern farming is hard on the earth. It's hard on animals,
00:22and it's heavy on chemicals. What if we could meet our protein needs in a totally different way?
00:29On average, for every one pound of animal protein, livestock are fed six pounds of plant
00:35protein. And that's even kind of a starvation diet, let's be real. So that's two and a half
00:40pounds for one pound chicken, five pounds for one pound of pork, and ten pounds for one pound of
00:46beef. Isn't that a little wasteful? Say hey to this cricket. What's rad is that insects are just
00:53out in the world? There are so many bugs in the world. 80% of this cricket is edible and
00:59digestible.
01:00That's compared to 55% of chicken and pig. Only 40% of a cow is edible. Okay, I know
01:07what you're
01:08thinking. Aren't bugs like totally gross? Like who would eat those? How about all of these people?
01:15Eating bugs is not a new thing. Just to be sure that bugs in fact are totally delicious, we tried
01:22out
01:23some bug-filled food on our staff. Here's what they thought. It's good. I like it. If I didn't know
01:29I
01:29was eating it, it just tastes like really good guacamole. It could be like a kale trip. Wow.
01:34It's pretty good actually. I'm all nervous. I definitely don't taste anything out of the
01:41ordinary for a taco. Like a lime, like Flamin' Hot Cheeto. Final verdict, go bugs. I think that's a
01:50pretty resounding conclusion, don't you? So just to get this straight, globally people are already
01:58eating bugs and it's totally not weird. Insects have a super low carbon footprint and they're
02:04not really that gross, man. So what do you say? Are you ready to be a badass? Come on.
