Their taste receptors do detect umami (savoury), which helps them seek out protein-rich foods.

Lions, tigers and dolphins all suffer with this too - imagine not being able to enjoy sugar?! Hideous.

Dogs can, which again, says something about dog people 🤭 (Calm down I’m only joking.)

Unlike the bearded, brooding craft distillers who worship glass bottles (you know how I feel about that), Jo and Helen bring a science-and-ethics-first approach to making something delicious for an underserved, often invisible group of consumers. Oh - and they’re incredibly fun.

to talk about the weird and wonderful world of invertebrates. Why they matter, why they’re misunderstood, and what actually happens if we lose them. As she says, we don’t need everyone to love them, but we do need to accept that they’re important. Join me wherever you get your pods. #spiders

Yet, we're still told it's on us. Individual actions matter, but it’s not your fault the climate crisis is happening.

So, I'll be talking more about Incrediballs (the biz I started after leaving Ethique to go after an even bigger environmental problem…) and we'll talk about other genuinely sustainable businesses too. Because as overwhelming as things can feel, you are not alone in caring.

*There are three different creatures people call daddy long-legs. Harvestmen (chunky wandering ones) aren’t spiders, so have no fangs nor venom, cellar spiders (glass spiders hiding in your wardrobe) are spiders and do have venom, and crane flies, which also… aren’t spiders. Hence the name.
