I was on a trail hike in Central America when the guide pointed out a termite nest. He said these were an emergency source of protein and they taste like raw carrots.
Luckily I had been drinking so I tried some. Not bad, and they did taste like carrots. I chewed them up good because I didn’t want them crawling around my throat.
After we stop paying farmers to keep land out of production, and food prices for simple staples like rice and potatoes become expensive, THEN they can talking about eating grubs.
How to vegans fall out on bugs?
Uuuuuhhhh, I wonder how well they go with peas? /s
“Insect diet may be the solution for a hungry world”
I’m confused. I thought socialists believe that Soylent Green is the ideal solution for a hungry world.
Can’t we just eat the corn and use the insects for fuel?
When we begin eating insects how long will it be before they become endangered? We can’t build power lines right now because of some beetle that is endangered.
When we begin eating insects (enmasse) how long will it be before they become endangered? Maybe we can eat the golden eagles the wind turbines are killing.
Dat true. Most of the grain products you eat have insects ground up in them.
