Entomophogy
Just wanted to provide some info on eating insects as I see a lot of people weirded out by it. Which I totally get cus I had the same reaction when I first heard about it. But in the meantime I have tried it and it just isn’t for me, I prefer my plant based diet. It’s not as uncommon as you think and it has been seen as a more sustainable alternative for meat for a while.
From a good article that you can read in full here.
“Insects are already a valued source of nourishment for two billion people. In 80% of the world’s nations, people eat insects – between 1,000 and 2,000 species of them. In parts of Africa and Asia insects are a staple part of the diet.”
“The case for farming insects to cut carbon emissions from food production is compelling. According to the UN FAO again, insect farming produces one hundredth of the emissions of the equivalent output from beef cattle or pigs.”
Anyway, not saying you have to like it (like I said I don’t like the taste either), but it def fits the pack and I thought it would be nice to share some info. :)
