Around the world two billion people eat insects on a regular basis. The current hotbeds — or should we say, hot pots — of consumption include Latin America, central Africa and Southeast Asia. As we look for new ways to feed a burgeoning global population, will entomophagy spread to other corners of the globe?
Insects can feed the planet, but we must make them look attractive! And it is possible, look at that : www.bugs-cafe.com

I think insects are very tasty (I like the crunchy crickets). They taste so good. Like fresh vegetables like broccoli, carrots, beans, and more. Please change your mind.

1. you can eat more of a cricket then you can a cow
2. cows and ants have the same amount of protein per 100 g

Eating insects can help fight hunger and food insecurity. They are a fantastic source of nutrients like protein and food at times when the production of commonly eaten staple African food crops like maize fails due to the changing climate droughts or insect pest damage.

no because even though they have a lot of value it can gross a lot of people out and its just weird.

I seriously don't know how these people actually eat bugs! In my opinion, bugs themselves are gross!But that's my opinion.
