Can We Move from Meat to Bugs? | Doodlebug Pet Food
If cows were a country, they would rank third in greenhouse gas emissions. Right after China and the United States.
Meat production is notoriously bad for our planet in many ways. But there may be a solution many are missing. And it's right under our feet.
Insect protein can help alleviate a lot of the problems caused by the meat industry.
Eating insects is common, in many parts of world. But to go mainstream in North America, a lot will have to overcome an aversion to eating bugs. Maybe a good place to start is with people's pets.
In this episode I speak with Danielle Lowe from Doodlebug Pet Food.
We cover:
Where insect aversion comes from
Benefits of eating insect protein

The Evolution of the Drone Business | Lone Drone Solutions
If you've ever watched a Boston dynamics video, you might see a robot dog that can open doors or a humanoid robot that can do back flips, that can do parkour. It's amazing.
But what is the point of these robots? Well, they are drones. They're unmanned vehicles that allow us to take our eyes and our hands and move them to different places where we may not be able to so easily get to.
Drone technology is evolving rapidly. Bringing many new types of drones. And the number of places where we can take our eyes to, or bring our hands to is just so much more than we could before.
My guest today is Joel Batters from Lone Drone Solutions and Joel was early into the drone game back when it was mostly just a hobby for rich people who could afford these, but as the technology evolved and the applications evolved, he evolved the kind of services that his business offers.
We talk, among other things, about:
How Joel started his business
How a chance encounter helped him find his co-founder
New exciting uses of drone tech
