The Impact of Food on Climate Change: "I don't know how many people really understand the massive influence that food has on climate."

Impact of Livestock Industry on Environment and Society: "When you start kind of piling all all of these things, specifically livestock stands out as the biggest cow in the room to go solve for."

The Importance of Understanding Food's Environmental Impact: "But I feel like as society, we don't understand why we need to change our behavior around food. And, you know, me maybe people got the memo about the beef, but I feel like very few understand the dairy component and very, very few understand it beyond emissions and really look at things like water, really look at things like pollution and, you know, and methane and all of those details that get kind of swept under the too long didn't read, you know, stuff in in science literature."

The Environmental Impact of Dairy Consumption: "Right? You're like, oh, glass of milk. How bad could it be? But if you look down the chain of what it actually takes in terms of water and inputs and and land, it is so big."

Sustainable Eating Choices: "You don't have to go all in. You don't have to become vegan, but if you can just make changes and incorporate them in your life in whichever way they work for you, you can make a big difference."

Innovations in Food Production: "At the end of the fermentation stage, you end up with white powder. If you're doing making whey protein, it looks exactly like whey protein. You can go buy it today from cows. If you're making casein protein, it looks exactly the same as just the other part of the milk protein. Right? So you end up with this powder and then you need to turn it into food."

The Authenticity of Social Media: "It's my favorite platform because people are real. You know, they're they're real selves, at least, I think, for the most part."

The Future of Food Production: "We're still pre commercial. So we're still working on kind of optimizing and scaling the protein making stuff. Right? So the reason it's it's taking time is because, you know, this whole programming of microbes is complicated science, And doing that at larger and larger scale takes time."

Precision Fermentation in the Food Industry: "But what I'll tell you is Changehood is not alone in this journey. There are a number, not 100, but, you know, there's a few dozen companies that are working on similar technologies whether it's in whey protein, casein protein, egg protein, all kinds of other things, meat proteins that are all pursuing this this goal, this journey of becoming a part of the food system and integrating into existing supply chains and and helping to really make a dent in the climate impact."

Embracing Life's Uncertainty: "You can do an entrepreneurial journey and then go back and take a corporate job if you realize that this is not for you. [...] But think of it as what do I want to go do next? And when you switch that thinking to next, for me, I found that to be liberating because I didn't have to decide forever. I had to decide for next."
