"A green colored coyote quietly keeps an eye I do suddenly takes a flight no more than skin and bones It's just another day in the yellow stone And who might you be served My name is representative Colin Nash I serve in the Idaho state legislature Representative Nash has learned that a quirk in the law likely means that if someone were to commit a crime and the 50 square miles of Yellowstone National Park within Idaho even a murder they couldn't be punished because nobody lives there to form a jury as required by the Sixth Amendment to the constitution Surely this can be fixed can it I think the simplest fix would is what we're asking for in a joint memorial that I proposed in the state legislature is to just simply put that 50 square mile swath of Yellowstone into Idaho's federal judicial district And how would that solve the problem If that was done they are prosecutors there would have jurisdiction to prosecute cases and would be able to see the jury from both the state and district where the crime occurred But that has not happened in the 150 years of Yellowstone But this loophole will be applied to other places the only federal judicial district that has jurisdiction beyond its state borders is the federal judicial district in Wyoming It extends into both Idaho and Montana but the Montana portion those small is actually populated So I think the only place that this particular law professor was able to find that falls into this was 50 square miles in Yellowstone National Park in Idaho Just curious as anyone ever tried to use this argument in court There may have been a case out of Montana reginald tried to use this relative to some type of crime related to hunting but particular fact product didn't quite fit the scenario laid out into my knowledge the argument was unsuccessful So unless you know someone willing to consider 12 grizzly bears as the jury of his peers let's hope representative Nash canned fix this The offbeat I'm Jim bohannon This is the marketplace minute I'm Justin.

"Make it what is your name sir My name is representative Colin Nash I serve in the Idaho state legislature Representative Nash has been looking into something unique about a part of Yellowstone National Park something some are calling the zone of death A law school professor by the name of Brian cults wrote a law review article titled the perfect crime where he laid out this legal theory that a crime could be committed in the 50 square miles of Yellowstone National Park that are located in the state of Idaho and in theory could go unpunished How is this even possible from adults who were presumably paying attention Because of the possibility that a constitutionally legitimate jury could not be seated due to the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution What allowed this ridiculous loophole of a legal gray area to be created in the first place The issue here is that the federal judicial district of Wyoming extends beyond the borders of Wyoming The only federal judicial district of a state that extends beyond the state's borders And that's because Yellowstone was established before the states of Idaho and Montana were established And the Sixth Amendment to the constitution guarantees criminal defendants a speedy trial well will forget that part with a jury picked from the jurisdiction where the crime occurred The problem is in that 50 square mile swath of Yellowstone no one lived there And a jury can not be chosen from the state and district where the crime was committed because no one lives in the state and district in that swath of Yellowstone That is a bit of a potential problem We'll look at possible solutions to the zone of death in our next report tomorrow at this time The offbeat I'm Jim bohannon.

"I wanted to share this. I haven't shared it for years. Probably over 40 years because when it happened, I didn't know what was going on because I wasn't raised in a traditional way, but I had a vision and I went into a wilderness area and my ancestors told me that the reason that those lens were set aside is because they're singing over them and then I went into an area and they actually started singing to me. And I did tell anybody for a long time because I thought, oh, people think I'm crazy or something. 'cause I didn't know what was happening, but it's wonderful. So our ancestors are singing over our land to preserved. And someday, you know, when I go to the beyond, I'll join them. I'll be singing over the lab to be preserved. All right, thank you so much. Donna for that over in Alaska. You know, I don't think folks have a similar experience in Disneyland. I mean, it's so it's so different how the park is structured today. And how lands that mean so much to native people have a totally different look and a totally different meaning to visitors, but those native connections are still there. Shane, can you talk a little bit more about some of these sites that mean just a whole lot more than what Disneyland or something like that might offer to just a visitor who's not even from the area. Yeah, you know there's a great case in point there at mammoth Hot Springs, that's one of the most visited spots in the park, you could assume that at least 4 million people drove to the mammoth Hot Springs last year, which is kind of like unbelievable when you think about it, but they're at the mammoth Hot Springs. There's a really large calcite rock that sticks up, it's about it's probably about 20 feet tall and it's probably about like ten feet wide. And it's called there's a sign in front of it. It's labeled the liberty cap and then right behind the liberty cap are the terraces there at the mammoth Hot Springs and that liberty cap historically a lot of native people knew that as red woman digging stick. And that story about red woman is a star story that connects us to what I guess white people call the Orion constellation, but the crow people and blackfeet and several other tribes know that as the hand constellation and that's red woman's hand and when her hand went up into the sky, she dropped everything that she was holding and one of the things was that digging stick and so that feature there connects all of the nations I think of the area to the sky and to their history and to their connection to one another and ironically now it's been kind of dubbed the liberty cap even though it's really not I don't think a very good symbol of liberty. It's kind of a symbol of white erasure of native culture. All right, we'll get we'll get into erasure of native people in the park in just a bit, but I wanted to bring in another guest we have with us today from Washington Wyoming is Robin rough car. She's the administrative assistant for the eastern shoshone cultural center. She's enrolled eastern shoshone in a descendant of the confederated salish and kootenai. Welcome to native America calling Robin. Hello, thanks for having me. Hi, thanks. So you're listening to the conversation so far you're listening to stories that Sheen is telling. Share your perspective. Share your story. What does Yellowstone National Park mean to you and eastern shoshone? Yeah, it's very interesting all what Shane had to say. And I guess I was very fortunate so my grandfather being from the flathead reservation. Which is right between the reservation and so Yellowstone is right between there. And so we have old pictures of my mother when she was young, you know, they went on a car trip and went through Yellowstone and had pictures there. And so my parents always had taken me to Yellowstone too. So I just love Yellowstone. I've taken my kids there. We tried to go there every year. But unfortunately, a lot of people from the reservation here have not even gone to Yellowstone, and it's really sad. You know, I think there's not really like a welcome mat out for natives and it's like, yeah, that's landing. They took from us. And now with the 150th anniversary coming up, they're reaching out, but we haven't seen a lot of that. I was probably about ten or maybe 20 years ago when we heard, oh, you can get into Yellowstone by just showing you a tribal ID. And so we started doing that, but we got questions, sometimes we get frustrated and say, oh, we're just going to pay anyway. And so that was kind of a barrier to and I think that's gotten better in the past ten years if you flash your tribal ID that won't even say anything though, ask you if you want the maps and pamphlets.

"Oldest recorded discovered burial in the western hemisphere is just outside the park boundary. It's called the Clovis and the anzac clover site. And that side is 12,600 years old. And it was accidentally disturbed back in 1968 by some folks who were excavating some rock over there and so the materials there, while there was an individual who was disturbed and discovered and he's since been reburied. And I was part of that re burial process, repatriation, but there was a test done on the remains and identified him as a Native American 100%. And so, you know, I think that scientific study was pretty significant to show that native people have been along the Yellowstone for at least that long. And then there have been other archeological sites found all throughout the park like you mentioned at the start of this interview that there are a lot of places in the park that show evidence of native habitation and hunting and gathering there. So going back 12,600 years, pretty much ever since then. There's been a constant presence, I think. All right, and can you tell me about some of these groups of tribes? I mentioned that there are more than two dozen, but could you just kind of give us maybe a quick list of some tribes that see that have connections to Yellowstone? Yeah, there's a lot, you know, the official tally is 29, I think. But we've talked about it over the past couple of months since we've been preparing for this one 50th and I think more accurate number would be like into the 50s and so you know it's hard to remember all of them. There's so many, but just assume that any tribe located in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, even up into Washington, having official connection to the park. And even nations as far away as Oklahoma, like the kiowa, who have origin stories based in the park. And so, you know, there's a lot. It stretches out geographically from the park, it stretches out. Hundreds probably even over and considering that a lot of the tribes, of course, were relocated during the reservation era, moved them further away from the park. But it's certainly a place that all the tribes in this area knew about and visited and was part of their homeland. All right, and tell me about your tribe specifically the absolute. What is their connection? What is your connection to Yellowstone? Yeah, it's an interesting connection. I think that we've been living around there for a very long time. The absolute gap people. I guess the official treaty designation are correspondent to that area came in 1851. At fort Laramie. And at that time, there was a gold rush to California. And so Montana was still seen as pretty wild landscape with not much value and all of the nations who negotiated the 1851 fort Laramie treaty were able to get a substantial base for their homelands at that time. And if you look at the map of Montana and even Wyoming, it was all pretty much all Indian country. And so all of Yellowstone park is today known as the Yellowstone park was part of the original uppsala reservation included 30 million acres of land. Straddling the Montana Wyoming border and including all of what we know of today as the absurd compared to wilderness. And all the way over to present day miles city. And so it was a really pretty big reservation at the time. And then in the 1868 treaty, which was caused by the red cloud war on the Bozeman trail, that treaty closed the Bozeman trail and established help to really was supposed to, I guess, fortify the great Sioux Indian reservation, but as far as all the tribes in Montana were concerned, their reservations shrank and that happened to crow. And so it was Yellowstone park was part of the crow reservation from 1851 right up to 1868 and then it was no longer part of that map designation. Okay. You mentioned trails. Can you talk about the significance of these historic these ancient trails? Yeah, it's pretty awesome, you know, I think in all directions, multiple directions, you know, several from the east from the west, north and south, native people have traversed and gone through Yellowstone park. It's a nexus place. I think looking back historically, you know, the resources obsidian. That was really valued as a trade item and it was just so, so good for everything. Hunting gathering, so it was a really important place for everyone. So they had to know how to get there, they had to know, once they got there, how to go in any other direction. And I think we really see that one of the best cases, I guess, our most tragic cases in 1877 with the nest peers. And they were able to go through the park with 1400 horses and I can't remember how many men women and children and because they knew those trails so well, you know, there was no accidents or casualties in the hot pots or they even traversed the cliff an area through this canyon that historians still can't believe that they were able to navigate through. And so they knew all of the trails in and out the most difficult ones. They made, I think, seemed to look pretty easy. Okay. Real quick, what is, how did a tribes use obsidian? Yeah, you know, obsidian is a black glass that can be broken and formed into really sharp, extremely sharp points and blades. So it's been used from everything for everything from the tips of arrows to knives to axes, it's just extremely useful, valuable item. It's also beautiful. And there's a lot of things that can be done with it outside of the utilitarian purpose. And so it was traded all throughout the continent going back thousands of years, you know, there's been hundreds of pounds over 300 pounds of obsidian has been found in the hopewell mounds all the way over in Ohio. And that obsidian came from the Yellowstone park. So there are still, there's still a mystery as to how 300 pounds of that black glass rock made its way from high up here in the Rocky Mountains all the way over to Ohio. Everyone has, I guess, their own theory about it, but it's interesting to think about yeah. Yeah, definitely trade routes, long time ago, went very, very far. All very interesting to learn about this history and the archeology connected to all of it finally, you know, kind of painting the story of our history in the area. And we know we have our own need of histories and our own origin stories and we're going to get to that right after this break. Here on native America calling, but you can join our conversation too. We are talking about the native perspective of Yellowstone National Park is your tribe, do you have connections to this park? Call in and tell us about it. We're at one 809 9 6 two 8 four 8 that's also one 809 9 native. The department of interior has taken a major step in finding and eliminating derogatory names for federal landmarks. The agency has found more than 600 places on federal land that require renaming. We'll talk about this significance of the change in how it's giving states momentum to fix names off federal land.

We are focusing on the native perspective of Yellowstone National Park today. And you're welcome to join our conversation. What is your native connection to Yellowstone? What's your historical and a cultural connection to public parks near your home? We're at one 809 9 6 two 8 four 8 that's also one 800 9 9 native and we have doctor Shane Doyle with us educational and cultural consultant. Shane, I want to ask you about geysers and hot pots. What were the native perspectives of these? And how did that change when the park was established as a park? That's a great question. You know, I think from my tribe's perspective, we saw those things as spiritual forces, medicinal, and use that should be left to their own devices and respected. And I think that that's part of the reason why over thousands of years native people did really learn how to interact with those natural features because they respected them and they didn't want to mess with them. And they understood that there were a lot of spiritual healing that could occur when you prayed around those places and you fasted there's lots of places, lots of hot pot areas around the park. Well, several that are known to have been have ceremonial history there were medicine men would go in fast and get a lot of good things from those places. And so I think it's always been seen as a sacred spot and it's still seen that way today. Even though it's kind of been turned into a form of a Disneyland, I think, for most of us who go there in the summer and see all the people, there's still that sacred quality to it. Disneyland. Well, thanks for that. Shane, let's go to a caller. We have Donna from wasilla, Alaska, calling in or listening on a can be a hate Donna. Good morning..

"Okay. So when does this take effect when is the next election that this applies to? So unless there's any changes to the law via the courts, it will take place. It will take effect this election this midterm election. Okay. All right. And so there are new some new requirements for acceptable IDs for voters both to register and to vote in person. How does that change under the new law and why is that important for native voter specifically? So that's a great question. So in regards to how the ID changes affect Native American voters, it changes the acceptable status of tribal IDs, specifically when someone goes in person to vote. It used to be before this law used to be that one could use a tribal ID and that was it. They could to prove who they were, basically. Now, it's a tribal ID plus an additional form of identification. So whether that's a state issued ID or a paced with your address on it, any sort of government document with your name and current address on it, a bank statement. Anything like that. So the problem is is that people don't necessarily have those laying around a whole lot. And to have them be conscious of that when they're going into their polling location is really unacceptable. These tribal IDs are hard ideas of a sovereign nation. They are secure. There are federal identifications. And so there's no reason why the state of Montana should consider them basically subservient to their state issued IDs. Got it. All right, thanks taheen.

"News this week. Did you know that yellowstone national park is sitting on top of our gargantuan lake of molten lava like a huge one. Yellowstone is basically a giant volcano. And it's not really a question of if it erupts but win erupts and when it does it's been suggested that it would blow quote with enough forced to send hundreds of cubic miles of material fourteen miles into the sky. That would make things. Pretty rough matt could happen. So that's exciting too. Scary world is changing fast. So i wanna talk to you today about staying stable in a world that is quaking in immediate context. Here in second peter. Peter is warning us about losing our stability by being carried away by false teaching false teachers the temptation to sin. But i want to expand on that. Just think about what. The bible has to say about stability in general. Here's three ways to stay stable in a quaking world. It's fundamentally cling to god. Here's how you do that. I as you grow strong staying stable and unstable world takes a great deal of strength. You know that it's so much easier to just go with the then to stand against the tide and even that presumes going on that things are changing rapidly. It's kind of funny but even as a church even here lewis lake. We're finding that staying committed to the same principles. The same believes the same doctrines that we were founded on. One hundred twenty years ago is actually really difficult and rather unpopular. There's major forces in the world trying to get us to change to update to be hip with the times. There's forces within the world of christianity trying to get us to change and we're just trying to say. Hey look we're just trying to be who we've always been we don't wanna move and that's actually the minority position in our world today. The flow of culture and of christianity is moving incredibly fast. Trying really hard to take us with it and it takes an increasing amount of strength just to not move. That's the world we live in and the same things. Of course that are happening on a church wide scale happened on an individual level. This happens in your life. You're under pressure to accept this new thing or that they're not necessarily biblical ideas but really in this enlightened age who believes that dusty old book anymore anyway so we have to grow strong. If we're not going to be swept away and just to remind you the way the world works. The river never stops flowing. Things are always changing the people who are begging us to adopt this thing or that thing today are going to be condemning. Nothing tomorrow and begging us to embrace something else..

Fungus found in Yellowstone is key ingredient in new meat substitute
"Two thousand nine. A team of researchers discovered a previously unknown microbe in the hot springs of yellowstone national park now. The fungus is the star ingredient in a new line of food products. He was very very high in protein. And it's actually a very exciting protein because it's a complete protein. There's really not that many sources of complete putting out there. That's thomas jonas. Ceo of nature's find the chicago based startup developed a process to ferment. the fungus and create. What's now called five protein. They're using it to make a variety of foods so we've been able to make things that range from chicken nuggets hamburgers breakfast sausages to yogurts and cheese earlier this year. The company offered a limited line of cream cheese and breakfast sausage on its website. Jonas says the products will soon be sold at stores. He foresees growing demand for protein. Filled foods produce more sustainably than meat and dairy that whole supply chain is completely inefficient and using a tremendous amount of resources of land of water energy.

"And start the conversation. Come hang out with us and be part of our community. Well, it's good to be here in Yellowstone National Park. We are in Lamar valley. So let me get this. We are in Lamar valley. And which is in the northern section of Yellowstone. We are very close to where in what they call slew creek. Look at trails, blue creek, campground. Where in the entire national park, it is the best cell service. It's one of the reasons why we are coming to you live from slow creek. You see a lot of vans parked on this road with people working on their laptops in this area. But we saw wolves on the way in. We saw bison, a lot of wildlife Lamar valley, I think, what would you say Ariana is probably one of the better areas of Yellowstone to see wildlife? It is by far the most vast area to see wildlife. It has probably the largest concentration of the different types of wildlife that you're going to see, so you're going to be able to dip into bear country, Pronghorn country. This is strict the wolves own this territory as do the bison, so it's a pretty incredible area of Yellowstone. It's a little nook and cranny of Yellowstone that is probably the least visited, but probably the most impactful for what you get to experience out here. Yeah, and Yellowstone for people that have never been to Yellowstone before and for people that are thinking about coming up, Yellowstone is huge. It's vast, it's large, it doesn't really, it's not that uncommon for it to take 5 hours of driving time to get through the park. And that's with all of the wildlife traffic that you're going to see bison. Who knows? Who knows what it is? It's usually people stopping in the middle of the road and watching wildlife. So, to me, the biggest surprise so far in Yellowstone since we've been here is how big it is. It is vast. It is huge. It is epic. It is everything that you've seen on TV or in the movies or watch documentaries about. It is a gigantic place to drive through and every part of Yellowstone is different. Whether you're for coming from the south, the northeast, the west, the I think the landscape changes all the time. And I would say it's probably one of the most beautiful places as far as diverse landscape that you can be in because it's ever changing all the time and that's not even talking about all the geysers that you drive through, or the steam that you constantly sug, coming up from, you know, some of these guys are basins.

Is Old Faithful Becoming Less Faithful?
"Old faithful used to have a less than modest nickname attorneys timepiece. Since at least the late eighteen hundreds this wyoming cone geyser has vowed spectators with its predictable. Eruptions you can see the landmark for yourself in Yellowstone National Park home to over five hundred geysers more than one hundred and fifty of these water spurting marvels including old faithful occupy the parks upper geyser basin so named in eighteen seventy because it spouted at regular intervals. Old faithful gets more fanfare than any other geothermal attraction in the world visited by presidents and immortalized by artists. The guys are spouts about seventeen times a day. Countdown clocks tell gathering tourists when to ready their cameras for the next waterworks. Show is he. There's a simple formula. Rangers used to estimate. How much time will likely elapsed between any two eruptions of old faithful? According to the National Park Service about ninety percent of these eruption predictions are accurate within a window of plus or minus ten minutes. That's a solid track record but old faithfuls still isn't something you'd want to set your watch by. Five decades of observation have revealed that the geyser is changing since nineteen fifty-nine the average interval between old faithfuls eruptions has gotten longer and while most of the actual eruptions which occurred back. Then were rather brief. This is no longer the case we spoke by email with sin may woo a geologist at the University of Utah who studied the physics of geysers and related structures. She said geysers are rare because they require very unique geologic conditions a persistent heat source abundant water supply from groundwater systems and porous or fractured medium that allows fluid migration and he transfer within usually the heat comes from magma a liquid or semi liquid rock found below. Earth's crust which is called lava once it bursts onto the surface yellowstone is positioned over to magma chambers including a. Nice long one. That's just three ten miles underground. That's five seventeen kilometers. Their maker was a localized swell of abnormally hot material. Beneath the crest classified as a mantle plume. It's the reason why. Yellowstone has the world's largest geyser collection the chambers warm up subterranean reservoirs of liquid groundwater. Although the physics here aren't entirely settled. We do know that some of this water gets super heated. That means it's temperature climbs above and beyond waters normal boiling point since this water's held him. Tight corridors. It's got nowhere else to go at first bearing down on the superheated liquid is a combination of overhanging rock and colder water at cramped quarters to the mix. And you've got a recipe for high pressure but the pressure doesn't last forever in a geyser like old faithful hyperactive. Steam bubbles eventually pushes small percentage of the groundwater through a narrow opening at the surface. Just like that. The pressure decreases and sets off an explosion of hot water and steam. If you're wise you'll give old faithful a wide berth. Visitors can safely watch the geyser erupt from a boardwalk maintained by yellowstone venture off that path. And you might be on the hook for six months in prison and a five thousand dollar fine and besides getting too close to hydrothermal features. Like geysers or hot springs isn't a cool idea. When old faithful goes off the water temperature around its vent can hit two hundred and four degrees? Fahrenheit that's ninety six Celsius meanwhile the steam gets even hotter sometimes exceeding three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit or one hundred seventy seven Celsius viewed from an appropriate distance. Old Faithfuls eruptions are thrilling spectacles. Even if you've seen one before you might want to revisit the geyser some day because certain eruptions last longer than others. We'll explained that old. Faithful isn't as predictable as at once seemed there are two different categories of gaps between eruptions and of eruptions themselves an eruption that begins and ends in under two and a half minutes is considered short. Others are longer after a short eruption. There'll be an intermission of sixty to sixty five minutes before the Geyser spouts again yet old faithful will reliably take a break of around ninety two minutes once a long eruption subsides over the past fifty years longer eruptions at old faithful have become the norm short. One still occur but they are rarer than they used to be and no one is entirely sure. Why while the mystery is unresolved some geologists blame recent earthquakes for this changing schedule? The guys are source is another riddle. Scientists haven't determined where old faithful gets. Its water supply. Though in two thousand seventeen study Wu and five colleagues revealed an important clue using seismic waves sensors. They found a natural reservoir below the historic old faithful in which stands south. West of the Geyser who who said that body is interpreted to be a highly fractured and saturated area that we think provides fluids source to old faithful plumbing questions and by modal eruptions aside. Old Faithful is indeed more faithful. Then some of its counterparts. It's time we introduced the steamboat. Eiser another yellowstone resident. That happens to be the world's tallest. Active Geyser emitting jets of water three hundred to four hundred feet into the sky above. That's about ninety to one hundred and twenty meters but who said it is very unpredictable and has gone decades between eruptions the last eruption before March of two thousand eighteen was in September of two thousand fourteen. She added however that the two thousand eighteen blow up quote began an unprecedented active phase steamboat. Geyser has rented a total of eighty five times since then with the last eruption occurring February twenty first twenty twenty. We still don't know what initiates this active as what controls its eruptive behavior and what geometry looks like

Could micro-organisms revolutionise our food?
"For the first time will also be recording this for video on our Youtube Channel so today we're here to talk about Crowell food an extreme file is a microbe that can survive in extreme conditions one star up in Chicago has found a way of turning these microbes rapa creatures into an edible protein part of a growing trend towards a microbial revolution in Food and agriculture could microbes hold the key to feeding a growing relation here with me in the studio to discuss this is Emiko Tarazona commodities correspondent and Clive Cookson science editor thanks for joining today Emiko to start with tell us a bit about this company and what it is trying to do so sustainable biproduct is a start up in the US yes and it's turning and micro that discovered in yellowstone national park into protein so they are going to use precision fermentation and they again A to turn this protein into alternative dairy and meat products like burgers and microbial base cheese wow has it garnered much first from investor's overall the search for alternative proteins is such a hot topic in Food and agriculture these days and comes as increasing income uh-huh in developing countries and when populations become more rich they moved from carbohydrates to prestige products I meet but people can't continue easing me because of the environmental is also health concerns as well so we've had the plant based meat products impossible Burger and beyond meat and the search is on for alternative sources of protein among entrepreneurs and scientists and so yes investors are we interested sustainable by products is raised she three million early this year from companies including France's Danone and Archer Daniels Midland which is an agricultural trade we've got some really serious money behind them what to these products actually tastes like have you tried any yourself when you talk about protein means you'll have a protein which is a source of the product by the vehicle for the taste so I think the idea there is to reduce the taste of the channel whatever you using it sauce itself like pre protein which is used in beyond meat you don't want it tastes like peas yeah so you want the protein to be pures possible with Mike I have not tasted was actually not on the market so I have not tasted volcanic microbial burgers but the other uses with proteins is as food ingredient to enhance the taste of a certain product or change the way the product tastes for instance impossible foods I uses a protein called him which is made from soy and that is made from precision fermentation and it adds the meaty taste gene. The bugah wow so how optimistic are you I mean is this pine sky or do you think this is genuinely changing the way that we wing to source proteins in our food well I didn't think it's Pine Sky Tool because you already have corn for instance that is more not not C. O. R. A. But exactly due to you O. R. N. and that is made from a micro protein which is a sort of fungus and that's been around forever clive you know better than me in Qu'une dates back to the nineteen eighties and it's a good thing to think of anyone has headcorn it is as you said a vehicle for taste quarter is growing out of single celled fungus which you can define `as Microbe F- Initiative Mike Grove is somewhat stretchy incubators any organism that you can't see with the naked eye as the individual cells and you have to onto microscope to identify them that's so interesting I mean microbe seem to be having a bit of a moment recently why have they come into the spotlight now I guess spotlight might be the wrong where maybe under the telescope from yes what's the wider scientific picture here well when it comes to food one of the most important changes as of the twenty first century in in nutrition and even I would say in medicine is understanding that the billions of microbes the bacteria that live in our what's play a gigantic role in our health not just how we digest food that's the most important thing but even welby being psychologically the microbes within our body of vital and therefore there's a big and growing industry you're trying to produce microbes not say much as food but to populate guts with friendly bacteria so that's a very big growth area Another is that might cribs used to ferment foods of being extended a lot everything from Kim Chae to sauerkraut route to the molds are cheeses to bear in wine they depend on microbes one sort or another and so using microbes to produce protein I mean could this be scaled up used worldwide I mean are there inhibiting factors will I think we have to remember uh-huh like all new foods microbial food stamp grow on thin air they will need a lot of input of water nutrients at that try so from the environmental point of view that are not going to be completely benign now they're probably going to be more sustainable and growing card which spends a lot of its energy wondering around fields and belching and burping and emitting methane which is a very powerful greenhouse gas but I think those environmental questions need to be answered and they haven't yet been answered by the new foods companies that are making not only microbial foods CACO's talking about earlier but also sell based meat and fish products web rather than growing a cow will catching a fish you'll grow the proteins and the muscle the fibers hopefully trying to capture the texture and taste in the lab and where does this fit into other types of new food technologies I think they're going to be seen alongside these other cell taste foods a lot of progress is being made in taking for example stem cells from cowes Castle and getting them to develop essentially and to meet and if you combine that with Three D. Printing you can get something that's good texture I mean that's one possibility abass meat but I guess this whole microbial fungus bacterial activity I mean how will consume is really react to it is the uh-huh because it's cruel to animals and I didn't think cruelty to microbes is going to enter the picture remains to be seen sustainable but biproduct CEO has told me that he wants is to get a product out into the market either on a trial basis or onto the shelves at least in about eighteen months in the US so it'll be interesting to see what sort of marketing strategy he takes a certified next Winter Christmas twenty twenty we could be having microbial something on the shelf test smoke it I think probably not in London yeah yeah as a final question I wanted to ask you both do you think there's an argument that time and money would be better spent encouraging food and agricultural offices that are more sustainable rather than creating new products that sort of enable everyone to keep consuming in the same way I think that's a really interesting question but I suspect that the horses kind of left the stable that consumers want convenient food that they crave and also the newly rid sh developing country population they also want that as well they expect that and on the other hand you'd companies and fast food companies won't all that so can we continue killing life is to have diversity I think from a sustainability and health point of view giving consumers as rich and diverse mixture of foods as
