Female Voice: After the war, everything changed, they promise us revolution. They brought
us revolution for their promise.
>: If you re-elect me, your student body president, I hear by swear there will be soda in those
drinking fountains. There’s going to be a pizza party everyday. There’s going to be junk food
in the vending machines, and there will be free money to buy the junk food in said vending
machines.
Female Voice: We divided into fraction. 1/16ths to be specific. They included the Candy
Club, the Pizza Pals, the Chip Chubs, the Pop Rockers, the Mellow Mallows, the Hufflepuffs,
and then there’s me.
>: Listen to me very carefully. You’re different.
>: Am I though?
>: Let’s try this again. Listen to me very carefully…
Male Voice: I can’t figure out what’s wrong with them. It’s like the more garbage everyone
eats, the sicker they get. It’s a mystery.
>: Are you a trained nurse?
>: What do you think you’re doing?
>: Having a snack?
>: Listen to me, very carefully… You’re different from the others.
>: I mean I’m just a normal healthy girl.
>: Exactly.
>: See, I don’t get it. I like fruits and vegetables and sometimes I have a candy bar as a special
snack. So what? Sue me.
>: Shhh, don’t let them hear you. Do you want to see my back tattoos?
>: Not really.
>: Oh boy, this is bad. What have I done.
>: Male Voice: We need a hero. Or a heroine.

>: Listen to me, very carefully.
>: Oh my god, I’m listening.
>: Their fate rests on you. That’s the last healthy vending machine. You’re their only hope.
>: What, you guys can’t even feed yourselves anymore? The food is right there. Ok, fine
whatever, I’ll just do it myself.
>: She is the one.
>: You’re kidding me.
>: Don’t you hate it when trailers give away the whole movie?
>: Yeah.
>: Can we just watch frozen again?

Headlee: Could we be seeing more and more insects creeping into our food?
Gaye: It's already quite popular in a few European countries, especially the Netherlands
where they're, year on year, growing and selling many more insects. But also, there are
countries like Australia where they've decided to call locusts flying prawns or flying shrimp,
and they found that people eat them much more readily if they have a different name. But
also, ground-up grasshoppers ground into bars such as muesli bars with fruits and nuts, using
a cricket flower. People actually don't know it's insects at all.
So, I think when we grind them up and we make insect patties - mixed with vegetables and
onions - people don't really know any different.
Headlee: Have you eaten them?
Gaye: I have eaten them. Actually pretty good and they all taste quite differently; some are
quite cheesy, others are a bit like lemon, and some are sort of nutty. And I think that's it really
is just about the way we're socialized around animals and insects where we think, ew, creepy
crawlies or bugs or they're dirty. But the way in which they're bred is actually incredibly
hygienic. They love to be bred in captivity in small spaces.
Headlee: Tell me what's the gateway insect? What's the insect that you recommend to an
amateur insect-eater to try first?

Gaye: Ooh, that's a difficult one. Mealworms are very cheap.
Headlee: Really?

De 00’08’ à 00’20 = 00’12
Curwood: Barbara Kingsolver left life in the farm country of Kentucky in the 1970s to become
educated as an evolutionary biologist. But what she didn’t know was that she would also become a
best-selling novelist.
De 00’26’ à 00’33 = 0’07
She and her husband and daughter have a volume that documents how her family carried out a vow to
eat only locally grown food for one year.
De 00’33’ à 01’36 = 01’03
Her family produced about seventy percent of what went on their table from their own farm in
Virginia—everything from tomatoes to turkeys. What they couldn’t grow they mostly bought from
local farmers. I spoke with Barbara Kingsolver recently. I asked her what motivated her and her family
to become what’s known as locavores—people who eat locally.
Kingsolver: We were led into this project for so many reasons. For me, It’s because I grew up in a
rural community among farmers and I’ve always considered the local farming economy to be
important and frankly an important part of food security. We are now, as a nation, putting almost as
much fossil fuels into our refrigerators as our cars. Every item on average on the American plate has
traveled 1500 miles so add up all the items on your plate and you might as well order room service
from the moon!
De 03’47’’ à 04’33 = 00’46
Curwood: So, for those of us that are used to having orange juice for breakfast, how were you able to
pull this off? I mean eating locally, growing it yourself or getting it from local farmers means for
example you’re not going to have orange juice for breakfast there in Virginia.
KINGSOLVER: You start by accepting this will be a paradigm shift. This will be a change in the
way you think about food and as time went by we really learned to stop asking the question, what do I
want right now? and instead start seeing each week as something like the menu in a restaurant Look at
what’s available. What do they have? What’s growing this week? What’s fresh and delicious and
choose from that.
