Vincero dOro Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 According to the experts, the growing world population will mean that food production is not sustainable if we stick to producing the foods we currently eat. They suggest that we will be consuming insects in the UK as part of our staple diet within 10 years. Would you be prepared to eat insects? If so where would you draw the line?

Halibut Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yeah, I think I would, provided they taste good - as I've been assured some do. Texture might be an issue for me though. Crunchy is cool, but I'm not sure about squishy - witchetty grubs and other such delights might be more than I could cope with. (I'm told they taste rather like peanut butter.)

Guest sibon Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It isn't a new idea. I don't know whether you have ever read this book. If you haven't, I heartily recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I saw a program once, where people in Africa swatted pans to catch flies that had been breeding just off the coast before moving inland. They then pressed them into a burger that contained 3 times as much protein as a pure beef - beef burger. I bet they are well tasty, I'd definitely give it a try. That said though, there's a lot of good food wasted, and supermarket bins full of good food are fenced off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye - dung, Mackerel are the rats of the sea, they will happily eat most unmentionable things. That's why they taste like s---. Regards Angel.
