Brave Enough to Bite into a Grasshopper?

Crickets, for example, are so much more sustainable as a protein than beef. A single cow can produce up to 132 pounds of methane a day which is roughly equivalent to a car. A cricket, however, produces 80 times less methane than a cow. Still not … [Read more...]
