[sudo-discuss] DystopiaNews: Veggie-meat: you don't have to eat bugs.

[Patrik D'haeseleer]

We should really invite Daniella Martin out to sudoroom at some point to
give an insect cooking class! I believe she's in San Francisco, and is
probably one of the most articulate supporters of entomophagy in the US.

Check out her website, Girl Meets Bug <http://www.girlmeetsbug.com/>, and
her really funny 5 minute Ignite
talk<http://ignitesanfrancisco.com/UaH2/daniella-martin/>from last
year. Tag line: "Eat bugs, save the world"!

Patrik (who is frankly also somewhat grossed out by the concept, but
supports the thinking behind it)
