Laura D’Asaro, co-founder of Chirps Chips is putting her money where her mouth is…

We will be keeping you up-to-date on Laura’s journey and we will interview her on the podcast immediately following her odyssey.

…one question that Laura frequently gets asked has recently been nagging at her: “So how many bugs do you eat a week?” As a leader in the industry, her answer of roughly 25-50 crickets per week has always felt inadequate.

Always looking for a challenge, Laura has decided to take it upon herself to see how possible it is to make insects a staple in her diet. Laura wants to know just what will happen when she beefs up all of her meals with bugs. How will her mind, body, and life react to this change? When all of her friends are celebrating the Fourth of July with hot dogs and seven-layer dip, how will they react to her snacking on grubs?

To prepare, Laura went to the doctor to get a physical, get her blood work done, and took a B12 and Iron test so that we could keep track of her health. For the entirety of the 31 days she will also be keeping a journal to check on her mind and feelings, since those are important, too.
