Do you remember the post a couple weeks ago about how certain insects can be a great substitute for protein? Well, a group of teachers in Dallas, Texas made an oath to learn how to cook insects and try insect meals at the Kaufman County Farm Bureau Building during a “Cooking with Insects" class.

 
Would any of you like to try a mealworm pizza or cricket brownies? Anything we put in our mouths, from a Rice Krispie treat to chocolate, contains some type of insect, according to Texas A&M entomologist Kim Schofield and the Texas Farm Bureau's Agriculture, A peanut butter and jelly sandwich has more than 350 insect fragments. Gross!

 
During the session, second grade teachers came up with ways to bring their experience into lessons for science, social studies, and even math classes. The teachers want to allow the kids to see how different our culture is from others, and to know exactly what is in their food, even the sweets kids eat every day.

 
After the teachers tried the fire ant queso and cricket brownies, they said the taste was distorted, but they recommend taking the legs of the little critters off next time.

                                                        
Excuse me while I go make a fresh fire ant cheese dip.
