Please don't.
Well don't go out in your garden and start eating random bugs and tell your family that I told you to!
APPARENTLY bugs are delicious, but eating them has other benefits too. Many experts are call edible insects the "food of the future" because of their high nutritional value, rapid reproduction, and fast growth rate. The Japanese LOVE them!
Some reasons people bug out:
Cost Effectiveness (Cheap): According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), bugs offer the same amount of protein as pork, chicken, and lamb.
Fast Growth: Insects grow fast! For example, cows take at least 2-3 years to grow big enough before we can eat them, most bugs take less than six months.
Health Benefits: Not only are insects sustainable, they’re highly nutritious. The FAO recommends edible insects as a healthy food source with high fat, protein, vitamin, fiber, and mineral content. All the good stuff basically.
Promotes Long Life (Maybe): Although it’s not scientifically proven, eating insects for food may help you live longer. Nagano, the area that eats the most bugs in Japan, is also the area with highest life expectancy. Not a sure thing, but it could be true…
