Eating Bugs on Donghuamen Night Market in Beijing, China
Entomophagy is eating insects as food. Many countries still eat insects and they provide a good source of protein, nutrients and minerals. Here in America we get these from other food sources, but if you compare the nutritional value of some insects to beef, chicken, or fish, the insects are better.
In the last year there has been an increased interest in the study of Entomophagy. People and even some chefs consider it a sustainable way of eating. It takes less energy and resources to raise insects than it does to raise animals, so there is a market that likes the idea for the future. I think its gross I hate bugs they scare me and if I found out they were in my food I would probably freak just saying.
