United Nations Says Eating Bugs Will End Obesity

The United Nations has come up with a unique and questionable solution to the world’s obesity and hunger problems: eating bugs! You read that right — bugs!

Though we’re raised to think of bugs are annoying, creepy pests, insects are actually a natural source of many of the vitamins and protein our bodies need to be healthy and despite looking gross, some insects actually taste quite delicious!

In fact, most of the countries in the world practice entomophagy, which is the consumption of insects as food! It’s only up here in the north west where the idea of eating a moth or a beetle makes us scrunch up our noses and shout “Ew! Gross!”

If everyone ate insects more than other meats, not only would people be healthier and less likely to be obese, but the act of raising farming insects is much cheaper and better for the environment, too! There are even cookbooks that teach you how too cook insects or incorporate insects into other meals!

Would you be willing to switch to an insect diet for the sake of the environment and your health? Join the discussion on Facebook or Twitter!
