So my fiance and I have been together for 10 years. In the first two years of being together, I find out he is cheating on me, not only with women, but also with men. What should I do?

All right, so I promised you a UN report. 2013, there was a big kind of sea change. I don't know about sea change. It was the beginning. Beginning of a sea change. They issued a report called Edible Insects, colon, Future Prospects for Food and Feed Security.

Right. And the report itself didn't focus exclusively on crickets, but crickets feature prominently in the report. They're the star. It was about bugs in general and eating bugs in general. And it made a pretty big splash. I remember when it came out. It really hit the news cycle pretty hard. But it also caught the attention of that Bockhuber guy.

1286.952 - 1300.759 Josh

who said, all right, I think I'm going to get into this, because he'd already been exposed to eating crickets in Thailand, and then when that UN report came out, he, I think, began his startup here in the states of his commercial cricket farm startup.
