Why we need to eat crickets | Tim Boote | TEDxNantwich
Are edible crickets key to solving the world’s obesity problem and the impending food shortage? Tim also discusses how our food choices directly impact climate change. Tim is the founder of Protein Rebel – a protein powder company with a difference. With a background in interim marketing for food and drinks brands, Tim first conceived the idea of sustainable and 100% natural protein products back in April 2019. Protein Rebel was soon born, bringing together Tim’s passion for the environment and his love of keeping fit. Having eaten insects in Africa and realising they tasted great and were full of nutrients, Tim is keen to normalise the eating of alternative proteins, such as insects. He is committed to creating products that not only taste great, but are good for the body, gentle on the gut and kind to the planet. Tim has a BA (Hons) in Business Studies and an Mphil in Wildlife Management. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
