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.
