A Low Impact Man lives in a manner that helps improve life on earth in a sustainable way. The goal seems easy but the journey is extremely difficult. The blog is my diary, my notes to myself, my thoughts as i go along my personal journey. I dont ask anyone to change but myself. I dont have any answers till i find them out for myself.

the best snack in the world
Why do I eat insects?
1. they are tasty
2. once I bake them i can eat them after 1 .5 years if i need to.
3. most protein laden food ever, very low fat, low calories.
4. easily sustainable- you cant eat enough insects - insects reproduce like crazy and taken together are many times the biomass of humans
5. I feed my crickets oranges and banana and they give me 75% protein laden food in return - on the other hand I feed my cow 7 pounds of grain and 100 gallons of water to get 1 pound of beef which has only 22% protien ----- thats the definition of inefficient.
6. The cows produce more greenhouse gases than all automobiles put together -- the insects wont cause the end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it scenario.
7. Nobody , not one human in this world would go hungry if we all could accept insects into our diet.
8. The caveman and many hominids thrived on insects.
9. 80% of the world population today eat insects in their diet.
10. prawns, crawfish and crabs are insect cousins.
