Will you eat bugs and worms to save our planet? A Dutch scientist from Wageningen University is promoting a farm-raised bugs and worms diet

to reduce our reliance on eating cattle and pigs for proteins. Grasshoppers and Mealworms have more protein than cattle per bite. The Bugs diet will not only solve our problem with Global food crisis, reduce carbon emission but will also make you healthier. I will not switch to the Bugs diet completely but I may try to eat grasshopper spring rolls once or twice per month.

I guess I would try them, once, which is what one of the articles was promoting in part, getting adults to try it. They thought kids wouldn't have a proble with it. I wonder when was the last time they tried to get kids to eat anything "yucky", like green beans and carrots? In any case, I'm pretty sure I would rather do a lot of other things first. For example, becoming a vegitarian sounds downright appealing compared to worms, and not raising and/or eating cattle is one of the purposes for proposing a substitute, the articles say.

I would rather become a vegtarian if given the choice. I don't want to eat bugs or worms. Whatever happened to growing sea weed. I've had that, it wasn't bad.

Why stop with worms and grasshoppers? Want a tasty spider?

No. For one thing, the current global food crisis is not a matter of growing food but of distributing it. But even if that were not the case, a drastic increase in food would only cause a population explosion and slamming into some other limiting factor. We need worldwide Ond Child Per Family not bug dinners.
