For
centuries
people
have
consumed
bugs
Everything
from
beetles
To
caterpillars
locusts
Grasshoppers
termites
and
dragonflies
The
practice
even
has
a
name
Entomophagy
Early
hunter-gatherers
probably
learned
from
animals
That
foraged
for
protein-rich
insects
and
followed
suit
As
we
evolved
and
bugs
became
part
of
our
dietary
tradition
They
fulfilled
the
role
of
both
staple
food
and
delicacy
In
ancient
Greece
cicadas
were
considered
luxury
snacks
And
even
the
Romans
found
beetle
larvae
to
be
scrumptious
Why
have
we
lost
our
taste
for
bugs
?
The
reason
for
our
rejection
is
historical
And
the
story
probably
begins
Around
10000
BC
in
the
Fertile
Crescent
A
place
in
the
Middle
East
That
was
a
major
birthplace
of
agriculture
Back
then
our
once-nomadic
ancestors
began
to
settle
in
the
Crescent
And
as
they
learned
to
farm
crops
and
domesticate
animals
there
Attitudes
changed
Rippling
outwards
towards
Europe
and
the
rest
of
the
Western
world
As
farming
took
off
People
might
have
spurned
bugs
as
mere
pests
That
destroyed
their
crops
Populations
grew
and
the
West
became
urbanized
Weakening
connections
with
our
foraging
past
People
simply
forgot
their
bug-rich
history
Today
for
people
not
accustomed
to
entomophagy
Bugs
are
just
an
irritant
They
sting
and
bite
and
infest
our
food
We
feel
an
'ick
factor'
associated
with
them
And
are
disgusted
by
the
prospect
of
cooking
insects
Almost
2000
insect
species
are
turned
into
food
Forming
a
big
part
of
everyday
diets
For
two
billion
people
around
the
world
Countries
in
the
tropics
are
the
keenest
consumers
Because
culturally
it's
acceptable
Species
in
those
regions
are
also
large
diverse
And
tend
to
congregate
in
groups
or
swarms
That
make
them
easy
to
harvest
Take
Cambodia
in
Southeast
Asia
Where
huge
tarantulas
are
gathered
Fried
and
sold
in
the
marketplace
In
southern
Africa
The
juicy
mopane
worm
is
a
dietary
staple
Simmered
in
a
spicy
sauce
Or
eaten
dried
and
salted
And
in
Mexico
chopped
jumiles
are
toasted
with
garlic
lemon
and
salt
Bugs
can
be
eaten
whole
to
make
up
a
meal
Or
ground
into
flour
powder
and
paste
to
add
to
food
But
it's
not
all
about
taste
They're
also
healthy
In
fact
scientists
say
entomophagy
could
be
a
cost-effective
solution
For
developing
countries
that
are
food
insecure
Insects
can
contain
up
to
80%
protein
The
body's
vital
building
blocks
And
are
also
high
in
energy-rich
fat
Fiber
and
micronutrients
like
vitamins
and
minerals
Did
you
know
that
most
edible
insects
contain
the
same
amount
Or
even
more
mineral
iron
than
beef
Making
them
a
huge
untapped
resource
when
you
consider
That
iron
deficiency
Is
currently
the
most
common
nutritional
problem
in
the
world?
The
mealworm
is
another
nutritious
example
The
yellow
beetle
larvae
are
native
to
America
and
easy
to
farm
They
have
a
high
vitamin
content
Loads
of
healthy
minerals
And
can
contain
up
to
50%
protein
Almost
as
much
as
in
an
equivalent
amount
of
beef
To
cook
simply
sauté
in
butter
and
salt
Or
roast
and
drizzle
with
chocolate
for
a
crunchy
snack
What
you
have
to
overcome
in
'ick
factor'
You
gain
in
nutrition
and
taste
Indeed
bugs
can
be
delicious
Mealworms
taste
like
roasted
nuts
Locusts
are
similar
to
shrimp
Crickets
some
people
say
have
an
aroma
of
popcorn
Farming
insects
for
food
also
has
less
environmental
impact
Than
livestock
farms
do
Because
insects
emit
far
less
greenhouse
gas
And
use
up
less
space
water
and
food
Socioeconomically
bug
production
Could
uplift
people
in
developing
countries
Since
insect
farms
can
be
small
scale
Highly
productive
and
yet
relatively
inexpensive
to
keep
Insects
can
also
be
turned
into
more
sustainable
food
for
livestock
And
can
be
reared
on
organic
waste
Like
vegetable
peelings
That
might
otherwise
just
end
up
rotting
in
landfills
Feeling
hungry
yet?
Faced
with
a
plate
of
fried
crickets
most
people
today
would
still
recoil
Imagining
all
those
legs
and
feelers
getting
stuck
between
their
teeth
But
think
of
a
lobster
It's
pretty
much
just
a
giant
insect
with
legs
and
feelers
galore
That
was
once
regarded
as
an
inferior
repulsive
food
Now
lobster
is
a
delicacy
Can
the
same
paradigm
shift
happen
for
bugs?
So,
give
it
a
try!
Pop
that
insect
into
your
mouth
And
savor
the
crunch
