With snowfall at record lows here in Colorado and news like this, paying attention is way overdue.
Beef production is the biggest water-waster in the food industry.
A drop in beef consumption could be the first step toward conscious environmental action for you and your family (and your pets).
Cricket powder has twice the protein by weight as beef and needs only tiny amounts of water to produce.
Think about it.

Conflict and civilisational threats likely unless action is taken to reduce the stress on rivers, lakes, aquifers, wetlands and reservoirs

Food production will need to change. Using crickets as protein for humans and pets is one way to help.

A huge swath of the US is facing massive droughts. It's only going to get worse.

This is why we need to consider how much water is required to produce our food. Beef is the most wasteful protein of all. Guess how many gallons of water it takes to produce 1 pound of beef? Compare that to 1 pound of cricket powder (which contains twice the amount of protein per net weight). We cannot wait, folks. We must conserve water now.

We only have one precious Mother Earth. What will you do today to protect her?

It's scary and makes us feel powerless. But we aren't. We make choices every day that either help or hurt the environment. Meat consumption is one of the largest contributors. Why? Because producing meat, and in particular, beef, demands enormous amounts of water and land, and destroys natural habitats with chemicals and waste. Cows produce significant greenhouse gases. And meats (beef, chicken, pork) are not a very high source of protein -- about 25% protein by weight. Crickets are 65% protein by weight. They don't pollute. They don't waste our precious water and land resources.

Begin with your pet. Giving your dog cricket protein in Mighty Meal is not only good for your pet, but also helps the environment. Make one good choice for the Earth today.

Here's another "dose" of reality and more reason to try alternative protein sources (like crickets!). The overuse of antibiotics in our poultry farms is killing us. If you aren't ready to eat crickets yourself, consider the new cricket protein for dogs - Mighty Meal.

Most meat animals are raised with the assistance of daily doses of antibiotics. By 2050, antibiotic resistance will cause a staggering 10 million deaths a year

This is more evidence that our food production methods must change to accommodate population growth.

Be part of the solution - Instead of giving your pets traditional meat or veggie foods, try the new milled crickets for dogs from calicocricketfarms.com. Delicious (to dogs!), nutricious, and sustainable food.

They forgot to mention that eating crickets solves all of these problems!

It no longer makes any sense.
