Episode 7 – Idioms of Normality hosted by Dr Paul H. Mason

Challenging the Conventional Western Diet

In this episode of Idioms of Normality, Paul meets Ruth Galloway who talks about crickets, gateway bugs, and edible insects. Ruth runs The Cricket Bakery and has been challenging the conventional Western diet for over six years by making and selling insect food for human consumption. What is a normal diet? And, what are the ethics of our eating habits?

What is normal? How does normality impact our lives? What would the world look like if we took seriously the idea that normality is not real? Accompany Paul on his exploratory tour to better understand the way in which people think about normality and the way it shapes our lives and impacts the planet.
