Could you include insects in your daily diet?
Insects are packed with so
much protein and are so nutritious, that bugs should be on everyone’s
daily menu.
Umm…are you serious? The
television show Fear Factor is
pushing it far enough. Do you see the contestant’s faces when they have to eat
insects?
Scientists say if you ate a
plate of 100 grams worth of fire ants, there would be 13.9 grams of protein and
3.5 grams of fat, according to scientists at UN Food and Agriculture
Organization. So are people supposed to substitute fire ants for chicken or
steak? Bugs are served in meals in over 113 countries, and according to David
Gordon, a Seattle-based naturalist. "Insects are the most valuable,
underused and delicious animals in the world,” says Gordon.
