In this episode Sweta and Taylor talk to food futurist, Jack Bobo, who is also the CEO of Futurity: a food foresight company that helps brands get ahead of trends so they don’t get run over by them! He explains what it means to be a food futurist and gives us special insight into “why we fear the food we eat,” which also happens to be the name of his hit TED talk! We discuss current and future global food and nutrition trends from cellular agriculture to insect proteins. It’s evident we’ve come a long way in advancing our food systems and also have a long way to go to feed 9.8 billion people on a warming planet. Jack argues this can be done, and the next 30 years will be critical to achieving it. We debunk so many myths in this episode…from GMOs to Chinese Gooseberries. You’ll be sure to have a plethora of “shocking but true” tidbits of scientific knowledge to woah your colleagues and friends with over cocktails and (impossible?) burger sliders! Tune in to find out the one thing that would turn Taylor off to a margarita, and have one with us! Futurity https://futurityfood.com/ TED Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thiOicCQRWY
