In 2030 the world population will be too big for the meat industry. That means that we’ll have to find a good alternative, as in, bugs! Most people won’t find this a very interesting, or tasty for that matter, alternative when eating. But according to this article in the guardian, a worm is full of proteins and less calories. Also, environmentally an insects farm would be far less destructive compared to a meat farm. A meat farm requires far more feed and water than a mass insects farm and don’t forget the methane footprint that won’t be an issue anymore when you have insects farms.
In my opinion, it wouldn’t be such a problem to eat insects. Especially if you realize that there already are insects in our everyday food, for example, a chocolate bar consists of an average of eight insect legs! To me, a chocolate bar doesn’t taste different after knowing this fact. I also ate a fried grasshopper once and it wasn’t so bad, kind of salty and crispy. If people can make recipes for a dinner with insects in it, I would definitely eat it…. Well, as long as I don’t have to actually see the thing sitting on my plate, just conceal it with a nice chunk of chocolate please!
Have a nice dinner!
Oh my.. for me this would be hell, absolutely terrible. I hate everything that crawls or whatever it can do so i think that this would be not an option for me at all! I can eat frog legs which tastes like chicken but that's it! it won't go any further than that!
