  • olivettefarm My Venezuelan mother would not let me leave the table until I cleared my plate. I'm almost 30
    now and I can tell she still wants me to when I come visit her :)
  • JenniferEmilson This can be dangerous. An inner dialogue is created where even if full there will be a feeling of guilt or necessity to clean the plate. And yet our bodies are saying, 'I'm full, don't need more.'

  • RobynShapiro Thanks for the great feedback last night! In addition to having loads of protein, crickets are also high in omega-3 fatty acid, iron, fiber and even calcium.

Is it in food production? Distribution? Access? Waste? Consumer education? Legislation? Something else entirely? Would love to hear what you guys think.
  • katewilson I'm voting food waste but I'm thrilled to see how much efforts are being put behind it now
