We tried to give an honest analysis of the Greta Thunberg speech at the UN and highlighted some things we liked and the things we did not like.

On the one hand we admire the courage Greta has to speak in on a global stage, but on the other hand we believe the politicians dishonestly used the teenager to virtue signal to their base.

We looked at the environmental impact of a vegan based diet and one that used crickets for its caloric intake. So if you are strange like us and ever wondered how many crickets you would need in order to sustain yourself, check out this episode and find out!

The parameters of analysis chosen as they pertain to environmental impact were the land requirement, CO2 generation, water consumption, and Energy consumption, where available.

The carnivore diet has gained much popularity for its health benefits.

Which side is right?

Is peak oil just a myth, or do we need to start thinking about post-oil?

We dive into these questions on episode 1 of First Principles Podcast.
