- [Interviewer] Are you gonna throw up?
- Mm-mm.
- [Interviewer] You got it?
Ope.
(everyone laughs)
(upbeat music)
- [Interviewer] Hi!
- Hello!
- [Interviewer] Um, who are you two,
and how do you know each other?
- I'm Helena, he's my twin brother.
- I'm Ethan, she's my twin sister.
- [Interviewer] What's your name?
- Jackson.
- Phoebe.
- My name's Chloe.
- [Interviewer] Do you know what you're trying today?
- I know that it's food from the future,
but I don't know the dishes.
- [Interviewer] What do you think things
are gonna be like in the future?
- I know we're gonna have closer luck
to living on the moon.
- I don't think we're gonna be eating
a lot of meat and stuff.
- I can just imagine as time goes on,
it will get weirder and weirder.
- [Interviewer] Are you ready for the first dish?
- Absolutely.
- [Interviewer] Close your eyes!
(glass dish clunks on table)
- Oh, it kind of smells good.
- [Interviewer] Wow, you're just diving right in.
Do you know what that is?
- Nope.
Tastes pretty good.
- It look a bit like, you know, octopus.
They have those like, spots.
- Mm. Honestly it's better than I thought it would be.
- [Interviewer] Do you even know what it is?
- I don't have any ideas what I'm eating.
- Octopus.
- [Interviewer] Jellyfish.
- What?
- [Interviewer] You're eating jellyfish salad.
- It's like chewy,
but also like squishy, too.
It's really weird.
- [Interviewer] Are you gonna throw up?
- Mm-mm.
- [Interviewer] You got it?
Ope. (everyone laughs)
- [Interviewer] Why would you think people would
be eating more jellyfish in the future?
- 'Cause maybe there are too many jellyfish
in the sea.
- [Interviewer] You're absolutely right.
We've over-fished tuna and swordfish,
which is jellyfish's natural predator.
So now there's a ton of jellyfish.
- So this must be pretty fishy?
(crickets chirping)
(hits table) (drum sounds)
(crickets continue chirping)
It sounded funny but.
- [Interviewer] You ready for the next dish?
- [Jackson's Dad] You gotta swallow it, Jackson.
- [Interviewer] Do you just have it stored
in your cheeks right now?
- Yes.
- [Interviewer] Do you need to spit it out?
- Yeah, I don't wanna swallow it.
- [Interviewer] All right, so there's a trash right there.
- Oh, wow. You, that was a lot.
(plate clunking against table)
- [Interviewer] What is that?
- Looks like a normal burger.
- [Interviewer] Yeah.
- Hold on, it's a little big.
- Super hard to grab a burger this big.
- [Interviewer] Well?
- That's good.
- Not that bad.
I give it a 7/10.
- [Interviewer] What are burgers normally made out of?
- Cow meat.
- [Interviewer] That patty is actually not beef.
It is made of plants.
- That's cool.
- But tastes very food.
- [Interviewer] So that's a plant based patty.
- Oh.
- [Interviewer] Does it taste different to you?
- No.
- It tastes exactly the same. - Exactly,
as a meat burger.
- [Interviewer] How do you think they do that?
- I don't know, they're like,
sorcerers or something.
- [Interviewer] Do you know how many land animals
are killed in the United States every day?
- I wanna say a couple hundred.
- 400.
- Way more than that.
- 1 million.
- [Interviewer] 25 million land animals
are killed in the United States every single day.
- You know what?
America kinda sucks.
- [Interviewer] Do you eat a lot of meat?
- No the only meat I really eat
is Wendy's chicken nuggets.
(interviewer laughs)
- [Interviewer] I think it's good that
you don't eat a lot of meat.
Because meat accounts for nearly
60% of all green house gasses.
- I think if we are this,
than the next food dish would be.
- Alien. - Alien.
- [Interviewer] Oh, I wish.
(plate being put on table)
- [Interviewer] All right, open your eyes.
- Those worms?
- No, no, no, no, no.
Uh-uh.
I- I'm sorry.
- [Interviewer] It's a roasted maguey worm taco.
- What's a maguey?
- [Interviewer] It is one of two species
of edible caterpillars.
- A caterpillar?
- Caterpillars?
So butterfly might come, come out of me?
- [Interviewer] Yeah, you might poop out a butterfly.
(all laughing)
- Never tried caterpillar.
- [Interviewer] You know they're alive, right?
They're not.
(both laugh)
- It's not gonna bite you.
Ugh, stop, just eat it.
- [Interviewer] Just try a tiny little one.
- It's not itself, it's the texture.
- [Interviewer] You haven't even tried it.
How do you know it's the texture?
- I know by looking at it.
- [Interviewer] Why do you think this is
the food of the future?
- Like I said there's not gonna be a lot of meat,
and so we're gonna have to use different ways
to have our protein.
- [Interviewer] Yeah, and it takes a lot less energy
to raise insects.
They're highly nutritious.
- Right.
- [Interviewer] A ton of protein in them.
- [Ethan] Uh-huh.
- [Interviewer] Way more than most meats that you have.
- It's so crunchy.
- You're lucky you're not getting sued today.
(interviewer laughs)
- It's kinda good.
- [Interviewer] So you're gonna finish the rest
of the taco then, right?
(plate and glass being put on table)
- Wait a minute, this looks like the inside
of a fortune cookie.
- [Interviewer] What there do you think you can eat?
- I can eat this and that.
(teeth breaking spoon)
- [Interviewer] What are you biting?
- The spoon.
- [Interviewer] Why are you biting the spoon?
- It's good.
- [Interviewer] A lot of people think, in the future,
we're gonna have a lot more edible
food packaging.
I guess you just need strong enough teeth
(interviewer laughs) to eat through it.
(spoon snapping)
Oh, that, that's not edible.
- Hmm? Mmm.
(interviewer and Chloe laugh)
- [Interviewer] How about the straw?
- I can eat the straw?
(spoon crunching)
- Mmm!
Future's looking good.
- [Interviewer] It taste OK?
- Yeah, it tastes like one of those hard candies.
- [Interviewer] More than 561 billion plastic utensils
are used by Americans every year.
- Oh.
- [Interviewer] And where do you think those go?
- In the ocean.
- [Interviewer] Would that be a good alternative,
is to have edible straws?
- Definitely.
And even just like, paper straws is a step up.
- [Interviewer] So what else do you think
should be edible?
- Plates. - Plates, yeah.
- We won't even have to do the dishes.
(interviewer laughs)
Eat it up.
- Is the plate edible?
- [Interviewer] Try it.
(teeth hitting against plates)
- Nope.
- [Interviewer] No, not edible.
Not edible.
(plate and fork being put on table)
- [Interviewer] All right, open your eyes.
- Brownie?
- [Interviewer] Yeah.
- Oh it's a brownie.
- [Interviewer] Yeah.
- What?
It's just a normal brownie.
(Chloe laughs)
- Is it, though?
- [Interviewer] So this is the flour
that they make it out of.
(bowl sliding across table)
- Bugs? - Ew!
- Crickets!
Helena!
Ah.
- [Interviewer] So, that brownie is made
from cricket flour.
- Oh my God, that's so weird.
It doesn't taste different at all.
- [Interviewer] A lot more protein in that brownie.
A lot healthier.
- Healthy brownie.
- [Interviewer] The production of cricket flour
uses considerably less resources.
Are you just eating the crickets right now?
- Mm-hm.
- [Interviewer] Oh.
- Try one. - No.
- Try one. - I only like the cake.
- No just try one.
- I'd rather eat the cake.
- Try one. - Nope.
- [Interviewer] You like it, right?
- I'm not gonna take another bite,
but I'm not gonna spit this bite out.
- [Interviewer] Why would you not finish
the rest of it?
- 'Cause I just found out it's made out of bugs.
- [Interviewer] You liked it at first.
- People can change their minds.
- [Interviewer] What if I were to tell you,
I lied, there's no cricket flour in there?
- Oh.
- [Interviewer] I lied, it's made of cricket flour.
- Yep, taste it.
Taste the flavor.
(interviewer laughs)
Want some more?
- [Interviewer] Great job, Helena.
(everyone claps)
- [Interviewer] What is the food of the future?
- Sustainability.
- [Both] The food of the future is sustainable food.
- [Interviewer] Yeah, and you know what?
There's an app where you can learn
about sustainability.
- Really? - And other very important
topics.
Have you heard of Da Vinci Kids?
- Oh yeah!
- [Interviewer] There's hundreds of hours
of amazing content and interactive learning.
- Oh.
That seems so fun.
- This one looks like the one
I would watch the most.
- Igniting a creative drive and desire to learn.
- (Both) Da Vinci Kids.
- Dad can I use this please?
- [Jackson's Dad] Yes.
