An Age of Magic

Hungry?…have a fly sandwich dear.

Sounds absolutely gross right ? well, scientists now believe that humans can actually benefit from eating a variety of insects. They suggest things like crunchy cricket sticks or grilled toasted caterpillar can add important nutrients to our diet PLUS aid in reducing the environments insect problems.

Don’t gag though; there are many cultures around the world where people do eat insects. In parts of Asia deep fried grasshopper and fried ants are a delicacy; in Australia the native aborigines have long enjoyed the witchetty grub - apparently they are like chicken when roasted over a fire.

So, in order to place less strain on the world’s meat supplies, and less strain on our digestive systems by eating less red meat do you think going ‘insect’ is the way to go ?

Which grub would YOU have for lunch ?
