New Views About Insects as Food

When I was a child, Brussels sprouts were disgusting. I knew this quite well because so many of the book and TV characters I loved told me so. No way was I going to eat Brussels sprouts!


Then a respected friend, who happened to be a Brussels sprouts supporter, convinced me to try the tiny cabbages. I did, and, it turns out, Brussels sprouts are actually pretty good.


My view of Brussels sprouts changed when someone I knew and respected convinced me to try them.


Is it possible for us to apply this same thinking to something we’d rather squash under our shoe than eat?


I’m talking about bugs. As food.
