Have you ever eaten a bug? In class we ate chili lime crickets, roasted meal worms, and chocolate covered meal worms. I thought that they were ok but, I wouldn’t want to eat them again. Some companies are pushing us to add bugs into our diets. Bugs should be included in our diets because they are nutritious, they require less water and resources, and the rest of the world is already eating them. To begin with, insects are very healthy and nutritious. According to Megan Miller, a cofounder of Bitty Foods, they are packed with with protein, vitamins, fiber, and minerals. Next, they also require less water and resources than meat. According to Jarrod Goldin, a cofounder of Entomo Farms, “To produce one pound of meat protein, you need 2,000 gallons of water, but, with crickets, one pound of protein requires one gallon of water.” Finally, insects are tasty. More than 2 billion people in Asia, Africa, and Latin America eat insects. Bugs should be part of our diets because they are healthy, easier to raise, and tasty.
