According to a Dutch scientist the world's food crisis could be reversed if Westerners would eat insects in their diet and not all that meat.
Professor Van Huis (photo below) says bugs are nutritious and full of goodness and if westerners would only overcome their culturally indoctrinated sense of disgust, the environment would benefit.
As Professor Van Huis grabs up a couple of freeze-dried crickets and crunches them in his mouth,
he says not only do they taste good and are packed with vitamins.
The professor says if we farmed incests on an industrial scale they would be an environmentally friendly alternative to meat.
Insects are cold blooded so they do not need to convert food energy into heat; consequently we would save the planet, or something like that.
Also, Insects also emit 10 times less methane than their traditional farmyard alternatives.
There are those who tell us that when insects are ground down and mixed with spices the taste is delicious and just full of nutritional benefits. At least that's what they are telling us.
Professor Van Huis believes his work could take the strain off the planet.
Now he wants to convince the nonbelievers that bugs are just right for you.
