First thought: Is he trying to display these foods in a good, humanizing light? or is this a freak show for profit or other ends?
From the article:
“Our planet cannot sustain current meat production, and we need to consider alternative protein sources such as insects and lab-grown meat. [Maybe] changing our ideas of disgust help us embrace the environmentally sustainable foods of the future. It could help us transition to more sustainable protein sources,” explains Ahrens.
From the Seattle Times article:
https://www.seattletimes.com/life/food-drink/gag-rotting-fish-maggots-on-menu-at-disgusting-food-museum/“A lot of big groups in (the) Western world are all of a sudden thinking ‘Meat has become disgusting, something that I could never put into my mouth,'” he said. “And that is something quite new in the history here, where something considered as being normal, and prestigious, being the thing that you were aiming for Sunday, and all of a sudden that had become a matter of disgust for many people.”
Ahrens in attached photo, on the left. Doesn't look like a Swede to me.
Kinda looks like he's related to Lev Davidovich Bronshtein.
