Here’s What Scientists Now Say We Should Eat to ‘Save the Planet’ From Climate Change
For more than a decade, people have been told to eat bugs to combat climate change. The hot new food source to reportedly reduce one’s carbon footprint is snakes, according to scientists.
New research advocates for humans to increase consumption of snakes as a food alternative to reduce greenhouse gases.
Research published in Scientific Reports last week noted that “python farming appears to offer tangible benefits for sustainability and food systems resilience.”
The authors of the study claim that python farming “can not only complement existing livestock systems, but may offer better returns in terms of production efficiencies.”
“This is an alternative livestock system that needs to be taken seriously,” said the paper’s lead author – Dr. Daniel Natusch. “We’re not necessarily saying everyone should stop eating beef and turn to pythons, but there needs to be a conversation about them having a more prominent place in the agricultural mix.” (Read more from “Here’s What Scientists Now Say We Should Eat to ‘Save the Planet’ From Climate Change” HERE)
