Crickets and bugs being served at a Chinese restaurant in Japan |
Have you heard about this shocking news?! According to The New York Times there
has been a wide variety of scientists that claim crickets, caterpillars and
grubs are high in protein and minerals which could be a food source during
emergencies. How gross! I think that there are way more edible things in
the world that contain protein, than insects. There are other things such as;
tuna, cheese, pumpkin, squash. What’s even more surprising is that a German
biologist V.B. Meyer-Rochow, who eats insects wore a T-shirt with a Harlequin
longhorn beetle to a UN-sponsored conference promoting bugs as a food source. I
know he loves bugs, but is wearing a bug outfit really the way to go? If
Thailand wants to eat bugs I think they should feel free to, but they should
not try to introduce these small bug food operations in other countries
like Canada. I'm sure we wouldn't want to eat insects for breakfast and grubs
for dinner. I think the UN Food and Agriculture Organization should take a
survey from each province and go by the decision of the majority. Then only
could they allow bugs to be sold in markets. Who agrees with me? Whoever
thought about this idea clearly did not take people's opinion into
consideration. Without us knowing they will probably start sell snakes and
tiger body parts claiming that these animals will be a good source of
protein and fibers. One of my good
friends have already seen bugs being crushed and sold in some stores at
Scarborough Town Center. If anyone agrees with bugs being sold, please comment!
I agree with you. Who ever wants to eat bugs, let them eat it. Great Post Lavnanya !
