I'm Brian Lerer. This is my daily politics podcast from WNYC Studios. It's Tuesday, February 22.

Now call in on the question, what do you eat or not eat with preventing climate change in mind, including

do you ever eat a meal that includes bugs?

Here's the context.

As some of you know, last Thursday, we debuted a feature here on the show that we will continue

for the next six months, a climate story of the week, because the climate crisis is so important to our world, but it doesn't

have fast-breaking news like an invasion of Ukraine or an election campaign. We're making sure we reserve

room on the show to talk about something climate related at least once a week. Today's climate

story of the week might seem a little light at first, even quirky, but it sets up this simple and important question about something we can do in our own lives day to day to help make a difference.

A question about how we're eating for climate change, how we're eating climate change for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or how or not.

What do you eat or not eat with preventing climate change in mind, including climate change for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or how or not? What do you eat or not eat with

preventing climate change in mind, including do you ever eat a meal that includes bugs? Did you see

the New York Times opinion video on why, to save the planet, we should think about eating more

bugs? It's not a new idea. It's not even a new practice in a lot of places around the world where crickets, locusts,

termites, or human food.

In that video called The Joy of Cooking Insects, New York City-based chef, Joseph

Youen, is enthusiastic about the possibilities.

Listen.

So you could have everything from

lemony, citrusy black ants,

nutty crickets, cheesy superworms.

But would you eat more cheesy superworms?
