Police officers join a sociology degree programme and are asked to reflect on their role in society. A French start-up banks on insect protein to feed livestock and pets more sustainably. And the Frenchman whose claim to have cracked the code of hieroglyphics in the 19th century allowed him to decipher the Rosetta Stone. After the riots in June and July, following the fatal police shooting of a young man at a traffic stop, the role of the police in France came under scrutiny. Issues of racism come to the fore with observers lamenting that relations with the public –- notably with young residents of disadvantaged city suburbs, or banlieues – have not improved in the two decades since the 2005 riots. A handful of police officers have been offered the opportunity to reflect on their role in society in a new degree programme offered by the University of Amiens. Sociologist Elodie Lemaire talks about giving police new intellectual 'weapons' to confront a changing world, and the police officer students talk about their motivations for wanting to question their profession in a university setting. (Listen @3'00'')French start-up Ÿnsect is preparing to open the world's largest vertical insect farm in the north of France, breeding mealworms to provide insect protein ingredients for pet food, animal feed and fertiliser, to help ease environmental strain on global food production.

In today's podcast episode, Leaps.org Deputy Editor Lina Zeldovich speaks about the health and ecological benefits of farming crickets for human consumption with Bicky Nguyen, who joins Lina from Vietnam. Bicky and her business partner Nam Dang operate an insect farm named CricketOne. Motivated by the idea of sustainable and healthy protein production, they started their unconventional endeavor a few years ago, despite numerous naysayers who didn't believe that humans would ever consider munching on bugs.  Yet, making creepy crawlers part of our diet offers many health and planetary advantages. Food production needs to match the rise in global population, estimated to reach 10 billion by 2050. One challenge is that some of our current practices are inefficient, polluting and wasteful. According to nonprofit EarthSave.org, it takes 2,500 gallons of water, 12 pounds of grain, 35 pounds of topsoil and the energy equivalent of one gallon of gasoline to produce one pound of feedlot beef, although exact statistics vary between sources.  Meanwhile, insects are easy to grow, high on protein and low on fat. When roasted with salt, they make crunchy snacks. When chopped up, they transform into delicious pâtes, says Bicky, who invents her own cricket recipes and serves them at industry and public events. Maybe that's why some research predicts that edible insects market may grow to almost $10 billion by 2030. Tune in for a delectable chat on this alternative and sustainable protein. Further reading:More info on Bicky Nguyenhttps://yseali.fulbright.edu.vn/en/faculty/bicky-nguyen/index.html The environmental footprint of beef productionhttps://www.earthsave.org/environment.htmhttps://www.watercalculator.org/news/articles/beef-king-big-water-footprints/https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsufs.2019.00005/fullhttps://ourworldindata.org/carbon-footprint-food-methaneInsect farming as a source of sustainable protein https://www.insectgourmet.com/insect-farming-growing-bugs-for-protein/https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/agricultural-and-biological-sciences/insect-farmingCricket flour is taking the world by stormhttps://www.cricketflours.com/https://talk-commerce.com/blog/what-brands-use-cricket-flour-and-why/  Leaps.org is a not-for-profit initiative that publishes award-winning journalism, popularizes scientific progress on social media, and hosts events about bioethics and the future of humanity.

Eating insects is not new; in many cultures insects have traditionally made up an important component of people's diets supplying protein and good fats. What is an emerging area of scientific research though, is using insects as fodder for production animals. My guest this week, Senior Research Scientist Dr Kristy Digiacomo, is very well acquainted with her research subjects, black soldier flies. Kristy entertainingly talks us through how the larvae of these flies, fed on food waste, can be converted into high quality fodder for production animals and it seems they find it delicious! We humans produce so much waste, particularly food waste. The ingenuity of growing insects on all our waste is that a low value product (e.g. supermarket waste) that cannot be fed directly to animals becomes a high value, safe food for animals via insects. A very neat circular economy can be created and it's a big win for sustainability, the crux of what scientists like Kristy are seeking to advance. Kristy confesses that she has eaten black solder flies…tune in to hear her description of how they taste. I found my conversation with Kristy so interesting and heartening to find out that so much innovative research is going in to improving agricultural practices and finding sustainable solutions.

What do you reckon…Entomophagy?? When I was born, there were 2.5 billion people on the planet and now we're pushing eight billion. (No wonder it's getting more difficult for Kevin Milne and myself to get a decent car park in the city).Seriously, our economic “growth at all cost” really has had its day. We're using resources in an obscene tempo, creating a carbon bubble in the place we don't need carbon (the air!) and pollute water, rivers, lakes and oceans. On top of that we are changing the earth's Natural resources and life-forms go extinct at the estimated rate of 150 species per day. In one sentence: we are crossing our Planetary Boundaries and seem to have dumped the term and concept of “limits”. Converting good horticulture and agriculture land to more and more dwellings is part of the growth gig too and that has repercussions for the way we “produce” protein. On my travels through New Zealand Schools (Teacher PLD via FieldBased STEM, Treemendous Education Programme and Blake Inspire), I have started chatting with students and educators about entomophagy and in particular our humble garden snail, Cornu aspersum. This species was imported by the French from North Africa for their famous culinary product called escargot. It's one of their preferred species! This very same species was accidentally introduced into Aotearoa and is considered a pest in the garden, requiring slug bait, snail bait, metaldehyde and other toxins to “control” them. How easy is it to cultivate these snails in captivity? How do you “feed” them and in what kind of conditions. How do you clear their gut-contents before cooking and frying in garlic butter and what are the benefits of eating molluscs? (human health, conversion of green material into protein, compared to the efforts of a cow, sheep or pig) What about breeding locusts, crickets, chrysalises of silk worms, etc etc. Why stop at Molluscs? Imagine the emotional roller-coast ride the kids wen trough when I talked about the brilliant taste of Tarantula cephalothoracic muscles! A few weeks after visiting Riverdale school in Palmerston North (a Treemendous event), I received a booklet with the most delightful prose around the issue of entomophagy. They had obviously organised a serious debate on this topic, requiring a heap of scientific research and literature investigation. Luckily, my alma mater (Wageningen University) have always been strong in that topic of eating bugs (publishing bug cooking books and having a yearly festival on useful bugs and edible critters), so there's a growing interest in that stuff. Here are some cool comments: Growing forests through pollination: ”if we ate bugs than they wouldn't be able to do their very important jobs” “DEATH!! Something no one likes; this might happen if we start eating bugs, because some of them have a thing called venom…” “Did you know that for one pound of beef you need 22,000 L. of water, but you only need 1 L. for a pound of crickets…” “Think about the landscape: Farms take up a lot of space: one pound of meat takes 200 sq meters of land to grow; to raise a pound of crickets it only takes 15 sq meters” “if you're a mum you do lots of jobs and once you're finished you will get very tired; but if you eat bugs it will give you the energy, so you will only get tired at the end of the day” “Humans shouldn't eat yucky bugs because some bugs can actually make you sick. Did you know that?” “if you want to eat crickets you have to eat 75 of them in a meal. And it will take a really long time to find that many, so why bother” “Bugs make up 80% of all known kinds of animals on earth; by eating bugs we help the crops grow (because they eat our plants” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sefer Hachinuch
Misva #163: The Prohibition Against Eating Insects Which Grow in Produce

Sefer Hachinuch

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 17, 2022


The Torah in Parashat Shemini (Vayikra 11:42) forbids eating “Kol Ha'sheretz Ha'shoretz Al Ha'aretz” (“all the crawling creatures which crawl on the ground”), which the Sefer Ha'hinuch explains as referring to insects which grow in fruits and vegetables and have left onto the ground. Once these insects leave the fruit or vegetable in which they have grown, they are forbidden for consumption. As long as they remain inside the fruit or vegetable, there is no prohibition against eating them, but once they leave, they are forbidden, even if they then return to the fruit. This prohibition applies only to insects that grow in produce while the produce was still attached to the ground. Insects that grow in produce after harvesting are not included in this prohibition. However, as the Sefer Ha'hinuch writes, it is all but impossible to determine whether an insect grew in a fruit or vegetable before or after it was harvested, and thus we must refrain from all insects that grow in produce. The Rambam, in Sefer Ha'misvot, rules that if an insect emerged from inside a fruit, but remained on the fruit's surface instead of leaving and going onto the ground, it is nevertheless included in the prohibition, and one would be liable to Malkut for eating such a creature. The Sefer Ha'hinuch notes that this ruling is mistaken, because the Gemara writes explicitly that the insect's status at this point is uncertain, and thus, while it is forbidden to eat the insect, one would not be liable to Malkut if he does, given the uncertainty of its status. In fact, the Rambam himself, in his Yad Ha'hazaka, codifies the Gemara's ruling that the insect's status if it remained on the fruit's surface is uncertain. Insects found inside fish are assumed to have originated outside the fish, and are thus forbidden. This applies also to insects found inside the stomach of an animal. Insects found in water are permissible if they grew in the water, but not if they originated outside the water and then went into the water. (A number of years ago, there was a debate concerning small insects found in the New York City water system, as it was uncertain whether they originated outside the water or grew in the water.) This prohibition, of course, applies in all times and in all places, and to both males and females. One who intentionally eats a complete insect is liable to Malkut. If, however, the insect is incomplete – even it is missing just a single leg – then one is not liable to Malkut unless he consumes a Ke'zayit of insects. In order to avoid this Biblical command, it is imperative that one carefully inspects his produce to ensure that they do not contain insects. The Gemara in Masechet Makkot states that it is possible to violate five or six commands by consuming an insect. It is famously told that the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) once saw a woman checking lettuce on Ereb Pesah casually, without making a thorough inspection. He turned to the woman and asked how many hairs were on her head. “How many hairs?!” she asked. “There are so many – I cannot possibly know how many!” “You will be responsible for more violations than hairs on your head for failing to properly check the lettuce,” the Rabbi said. He explained that each guest she will be serving at the Seder could end up consuming large numbers of insects, and for each one, he will be liable to numerous sets of Malkut, because of her failure to inspect the produce… To give us some perspective, if a person eats a hamburger in a non-kosher restaurant, he transgresses only a single prohibition – the consumption of Nebela (meat from an animal which was not properly slaughtered) or Terefa (meat from an animal with a terminal physical ailment). But if one eats a salad in a non-kosher restaurant, he violates hundreds of prohibitions, as he consumes an untold number of insects. It is thus vitally important to exercise caution in this regard and ensure to avoid eating produce which has not been properly inspected.

The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation has said that eating insects can help us fight hunger and malnutrition. This is considering they are rich in protein, and farming them can be more sustainable and environment-friendly. Now, even though the idea can invoke disgust, perhaps even shame, in many people, insects have been part of the human diet for centuries.In this episode, host Sandip Roy is joined by Srishtaa Aparna Pallavi and Tansha Vohra to talk about the past, present and future of eating insects in India. They discuss what insects are the most popular as food, why certain foods are considered inferior, the concerns around popularizing this practice, and their favourite insect recipes. Shrishta Aparna Pallavi, writes about indigenous people and their traditions and foods, and has given an acclaimed TED talk on what food our ancestors loved.Tansha Vohra is a permaculture designer, and runs the Boochi project, which explores insect eating in India.

Do you want to learn about eating insects? On this week’s Chefs Without Restaurants Podcast we have Joseph Yoon. He’s the executive director of Brooklyn Bugs, as well as the chef/owner of Yummy Eats and Dinner Echo. Joseph views his participation in this global food movement as an extension of his commitment to his community, and volunteers his time and resources with both Brooklyn Bugs and Yummy Eats.Brooklyn Bugs is an advocate for edible insects, and their mission is to raise appreciation and awareness for them through delicious, educational, and creative programming.  Their work has been featured on the Smithsonian Channel, New York Times, NPR, Food and Wine, and Gizmodo, as they strive to introduce edible insects as a sustainable source of protein that can be found in your pantry, eaten as a snack, and beautifully plated by chefs. Joseph first got into edible insects as a collaboration with artist Miru Kim. She’s someone he had really wanted to work with, and she was looking to serve insects for people to eat as part of her Phobia/Phagia project.Besides being a sustainable protein source, in the right hands, insects are also delicious. We discuss a few of the ways that Joseph likes to use them, and we talk about the parallels between eating insects and offal.

We are thrilled to bring you today's guest, Tammy Mann, the Founder/CEO of a food brand producing sustainable, nutritional, and very tasty foods fueled by crickets. Yes. Crickets! Tammy is a mom, former creative director, triathlete, and now a full fledged cricketeer/foodie on a mission to make crave-able, sustainable, nutritional foods fueled by crickets.  Struggling with gut health and not able to find a protein solution to sustain her through long workouts, Tammy stumbled upon cricket protein powder. Like most Americans, the idea of eating bugs grossed her out, but she was willing to give it a try. There was a noticeable improvement in all aspects of her dietary needs: better gut health, more energy and she felt fueled to go significantly longer! This is when the light went on and Tammy saw a huge opportunity: Create quality, crave-able, nutritional cricket fueled foods!  Now as the Founder/CEO of Harmony Cricket Farm in Minneapolis MN, her mission is to make a positive impact on our earth by changing Americans perception of eating insects. The journey begins with darn good cookies and ends with a happier, healthier planet and YOU! At Harmony Cricket Farm they believe we all can and should EAT good. FEEL good. DO good. The humble and tasty cricket is a great way to do just that.  During our conversation we talk about how crickets are a nutritional power-packed superfood high in protein, iron, calcium, B12 and omega-3s. You will also learn that crickets support gut health and your immune system, in addition to being a complete protein with amino acids and making it easy for your body to digest and use for energy. By enjoying crickets you will also be doing good for the planet because they use less water and feed than cows. Tammy recommends adding just 1/4 cup a day of cricket powder to your favorite recipes including smoothies, baked goods, salads and even soups/chili.  Head over to her site and order her delicious cookies today and you'll also find recipes on how to easily incorporate cricket protein powder into your life.

In this episode of Sustainability Champions, I speak with Francesco Majno, Co-Founder and CEO of Crické Food, and Champion of Insect Proteins.  To facilitate our growing populations and to reduce the waste, inefficiency and the negative environmental impacts of meat farms, we need alternative proteins. On this podcast, we’ve already spoken about highly technical solutions like plant-based and cell-based meats, and now we’re looking at a different approach.  To solve global problems, we need to think radically and be open to a wide variety of strategies. And that’s where we see that insects are a sustainable alternative protein. In fact, up to two billion people around the world eat insects as part of their regular diet. So what’s the easiest way to popularize this idea in countries where this is not common? Crické Food produces crackers made with cricket powder and flour, making a hyper-sustainable, protein-rich and nutritious snack for anyone. Crickets and insects, in general, are both a great source of protein and environmentally-friendly. When compared with cows, crickets require 0.05% the amount of water, 7.5% the amount of land, and they emit 1% the amount of greenhouse gas. Additionally, they contain almost twice the amount of protein as beef and are rich in vitamins and iron.  In this episode, we talk about the challenges of getting beyond the taboo of eating insects in Europe and North America, other insect cuisines we can expect in the near future, and the efficiencies insects could bring to our food system. If you want to try Crické Crackers, you can order them on their website linked below (currently only in Europe)!

This week’s episode is inspired by the recently released documentary, Eating Animals, which delves into the history of traditional farming practices and the post-WWII shift to the widespread factory farming system. Today, we bring you interviews with the film’s director and one of its breakout stars. His name is Frank Reese, and he’s fighting to keep the old methods of farming alive.

Dr. Douglas Futuyma is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution at Stony Brook University. He also holds an appointment as a Research Associate at the American Museum of Natural History. Throughout his career, Douglas has been fascinated by evolution and how species adapt to their environments. Much of his research has examined the ways in which insects that eat plants have evolved (or failed to evolve) in their ability to eat different kinds of plants. Beyond his specific research area of expertise, Douglas has taught courses on evolution and evolutionary ecology, as well as served as a general spokesperson for evolution. Douglas is a passionate naturalist who loves being outdoors and expanding his knowledge of natural history. He has also been an avid birdwatcher for the past 25 years. In addition, Douglas is an opera and classical music enthusiast. Douglas received his B.S. in Conservation from Cornell University and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Michigan. After receiving his Ph.D., Douglas joined the faculty at Stony Brook University where he has worked for most of his career. He served on the faculty at the University of Michigan for a few years from 2002-2004 before returning to Stony Brook. Douglas has written one of the most popular textbooks on Evolution and has received numerous awards and honors over the course of his career. He is an elected Member of the National Academy of Sciences, as well as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was also awarded the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Fulbright Senior Scholarship, the Sewall Wright Award from the American Society of Naturalists, the Joseph Leidy Award from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, and an Honorary Doctoral Degree from the National University of Mongolia.

Robert Nathan Allen of Aspire USA joins Erin on the line from Austin, Texas and explains that the company seeks to create, process, and sell the highest quality, farm-raised edible insects worldwide. Touting that the United States is in the minority of countries around the world that are eating highly nutritious insects, Nathan gives a great run down of how they set up their farm plus the efficiencies of the cricket farm as compared to a typical livestock farm. Nathan takes Erin through Aspire USA’s method of capture for production, which is quick and humane as crickets de-animate within moments of being placed in a freezer and how Aspire USA is dedicated to raising healthy, tasty, and happy crickets. Discussing the differences between cricket powder and cricket flour, the input versus output of cricket farming, the safety concerns of edible insects, plus ways in which cricket and cricket products can populate the market. Tune in for an interesting conversation!

For Rose Wang, it all started with a scorpion street snack in China. She bit into the insect on a dare and was surprised. “[It was] not what I expected,” says Wang, who went on to co-found the insect-based food company Six Foods with her Harvard classmates Laura D’Asaro and Meryl Natow. “It tasted really great and really made me think, ‘Okay, is there another way to eat protein that’s more sustainable?’”  In particular, the entrepreneurs see crickets as a more sustainable source of protein. For one thing, the little chirpers are far less energy-intensive to raise. Here’s how the math breaks down: One pound of beef requires 2,000 gallons of water and 25 bags of feed. By comparison, one pound of cricket protein can be produced with 1 gallon of water and 2 bags of feed.   “What’s so great about crickets is that it’s an animal protein, so it’s all nine essential amino acids,” Wang adds. “It’s also really high in calcium and a lot of other vitamins and minerals.” She says the taste might even be vaguely familiar. “The way I describe it is [that] it tastes like shrimp without a fishy taste, so it is somewhat similar to a lot of the crustaceans that we’re used to eating,” Wang explained. “There is a difference in flavor profile, but it’s not bad.” (Photo: "Chirp" cricket chips/Courtesy of Rose Wang) While most everyone can agree that insects are the more environmentally friendly version of protein, there’s still the inescapable ick factor. The founders of Six Foods found that crickets presented people with the lowest barrier to entry. “When we presented people with different foods at the very beginning… we had mealworms, wax worms, hornworms, and then crickets… crickets were always the least scary,” Wang says. Daniella Martin, the author of Edible: An Adventure Into the World of Eating Insects and the Last Great Hope to Save the Planet, agrees. “Crickets are familiar, they have a reasonably good public image because of characters like Jiminy Cricket,” she says. “People are a lot less grossed out by something like a cricket versus something like a meal worm.” Six Foods has gone one step further to make crickets into a non-scary, recognizable form: chips. The cricket chips, called “Chirps,” are made from cricket flour. (Photo: Rose Wang and Laura D'Asaro) Cute names and novelty aside, crickets could also be the most viable form of edible insects. “Crickets are also the only insect that’s produced at scale within the U.S.,” says Wang. “To us, if we can ease our supply chain and make sure we know where we’re getting our crickets from and we can go visit those farms and know exactly their process, that makes us feel better about the food that we’re using.” What do you think? Have you ever eaten a bug and liked it? Could crickets and other insects be the protein source to save the planet?

We finish up with a quick conversation about missing cheese molds and cheese chasing competitions. Show notes: [Handbook of Fermented Functional Foods, Second Edition Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1420053264/fermup-20) Check out chapter 18 for more detail on fermented foods in Thailand. The rest of the chapters cover different fermented food topics. Good book, but probably worth checking for at your local library as opposed to purchasing unless you are a total fermented food nerd. [Thai Food by David Thompson Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1580084621/fermup-20) This book is packed full of Thai recipes and insight into Thai cuisine. Specifically about fermentation, this book covers fermented bamboo shoots, fermented bean curd, fermented fish, fermented fish relish, fermented fish sauce, fermented pork sausages, fermented rice, fermented siamese watercress and fermented soy beans. This is the cookbook that I can never remember the title of, but in reality the title is so simple. [16: Fish Sauce was The Original Ketchup FermUp](http://fermup.com/podcast/16/) Check out this episode if you would like a refresher on fermented fish sauces. [Grilled Shrimp Paste Dip (Nam Prik Ka Pi) YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STLgsfREwOY) Grilled shrimp paste, yum. [American flies in to win Gloucestershire cheese rolling contest UK news The Guardian](http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/may/27/gloucestershire-cheese-rolling-race) The winner of this foam cheese chasing contest travelled from Colorado Springs to check off this contest from his bucket list.
