A new United Nations report says that we should all eat insects. The report is from the U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization. It is called "Edible Insects: Future Prospects for Food and Feed Security". The
U.N. says it is important we eat insects to help the Earth. It gave three reasons why we should be adding
insects to our diet. The first is they are good for our health. "Insects are healthy, nutritious alternatives to
mainstream staples such as chicken, pork, beef and even fish." The second reason is they are better for the
environment than breeding cows, sheep, and other animals. Finally, "insect farming" would help millions of
poor families around the world eat and start a small business.
Many cultures already include insects in their diet. The report says: "Many people around the world eat
insects out of choice, largely because of the [tastiness]….More than 1, 900 species have reportedly been
used as food." However, most people in Western or "developed" countries think the idea of eating insects
is disgusting. The report says governments need to educate Westerners about the benefits of eating bugs
so they get over the "disgust factor". Ento , a company in London that sells insect-based food, said it is
difficult to get people to eat creepy-crawlies. It told the "New Scientist" magazine: "On paper, insects are
fantastic, but on a plate, most people won't touch them."
