\"bugs<\/a>Following the\u00a0overpopulation of earthlings from\u00a0year\u00a0to year, it is predicted in the 2013 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization that, by 2050, food production will have to be increased by 70% to meet the demands of 2.3 billion growing populace!\u00a0 The aching question now concerns the\u00a0gradually declining food resources.\u00a0 How are we going to produce an additional 200 tonnes of meat to feed the ever increasing mouths on Earth?\u00a0 Addison Lilholt, a renowned science teacher at Green Woods Charter School, has the answer: the addition of insects to the existing\u00a0food group.<\/p>\n

\"bugs<\/a>There are way more insects on Earth than humans in that the reproduction rate of the former\u00a0transcendently surpasses that of the latter.\u00a0 Because of this factor, insects\u00a0have become an\u00a0untapped food resource due to the fact that, not only are many of them edible, a vast\u00a0number of the species provide high amounts of unimaginable nutrition, proteins and even calcium.\u00a0\u00a0Countries like Thailand, where the people have already adopted the culture of eating insects like cockroaches, crickets, and the like.\u00a0 Such “trend” is nothing to be alarmed of … It is the same conception when we were first introduced to the world of Japanese sashimi\u00a0… of eating completely raw\u00a0seafood back in the early 90s.<\/p>\n

\"bugs<\/a><\/p>\n

In some countries, you can find insect ingredients and food in some of the grocery stores and dining places.\u00a0\u00a0There are\u00a0crackers and bread baked with cricket flour (crickets have lots of calcium in them, plus, they are gluten free), expensive canned ant eggs that taste like caviar, crispy mealworms that taste like French fries, tarantulas taste deliciously like soft-shell crabs, et cetera.\u00a0 But there’s only one way to eat the bugs – they must be fully cooked.<\/p>\n
