Just read about eating insects will be better for society because they are more nutritionally balanced and better for the environment. Growing them takes less food. They can eat our leftovers. And they can grow in a small space.
I wonder if due to global warming, depleting resources, and overpopulation the future sources of protein will be biomeat and insects. I can picture it now: in every home, the fridge contains mass-produced biomeat, rotating containers of insects grown for food (hmm...cockroaches and spiders), and a kitchen compost.
It'll be very hard for me to get used to the idea of eating insects. Hairy caterpillars. Hairy spiders. Crunchy spiders. Crunchy everything. And I think it is very much a socially-bred disgust towards them. With my kids, it might be fun to change that. Give them bugs to eat so they don't develop as strong of an aversion to them.
