Hungry? Eat some insect bread and a bowl of ground crickets or mealworms.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) continues to permanently push its insect-eating message:

“In Finland,bread was made from crushed insects. There are 70 dried and ground crickets in each loaf.Crickets make the bread a good source of protein."

 

Forbes: Eating Insects Could Cut Your Environmental Impact By More Than 80%, Finnish Study Says.

You may have read that eating meat contributes to climate change. And eating less meat is one the best ways to help the planet.

But are you willing to go as far as eating insects? Or mostly insects, with some meat as a treat? (NOPE!-DD)

iNews: Scientists hope to feed primary school children edible insects to make the UK greener.

Edible insects are highly nutritious and have a much smaller carbon footprint than conventional meat, scientists says.

Children are to be fed bugs as part of a plan to get a new generation to switch from meat to insects – and potentially persuade their parents to follow their lead.

Pupils at four primary schools in Wales are to be offered insects to eat as part of a project to gauge children’s appetite for “alternative protein” such as crickets, grasshoppers, and mealworms.
