So the UN is advising us to eat insects[^] to alleviate world hunger. Fair enough. (Although I'm not sure how effective the idea is really.) I'm just surprised by the number of narrow minded, patronizing bigots that are commenting on the article (see bottom of the page). :~

The world produces enough food to feed all 7 billion people, but not everyone has land to grow the food on or the money to buy food. How would eating insects help solve this, because even if we eat less food that could be given to the people without food, they don't have money to buy it? (Obviously the food could just be given to them, but unfortunately that just doesn't happen enough.)

I can only confirm that our old cat survived eating a pound of locusts without being able to decimate the swarm visibly. We had to catch the cat and drag her inside, otherwise she would probably have kept on catching and eating them.

If you eat chocolate, you are already eating a large number of insects. Also (technically) lobster, shrimp/prawns, crawfish/crayfish/crawdads/mudbugs, crab... I've also involuntarily eaten the odd spider, fly, mosquito, and ant...

I don't think 8 pieces of insects[^] constitutes a 'large number'... although with the quantity of chocolate I eat, I could be wrong..!

Well, on the plus side, since they lack a skeleton, bugs will be much easier to filet than buffaloes. I'm thinking that they won't need much tenderizing either...

I'm not so much worried about eating bugs per se; I'm a tad more apprehensive about what the bugs have eaten.

Many of them dine on dead people, so it's almost a closed system. :-D

Um. You do know where manure comes from, right? And what vegetables grow in? So think about it: not only has every drop of water you drink already been through probably 6 sets of human kidneys allready, but the animals we eat, eat the plants that grow in manure...

Ants alone hold 15..20% of the terrestrial biomass, and I figure they are easy to farm[^].
