Would you consider eating bugs to “Save the planet?”

Question

The best insects to eat are from three species: At least three insects – crickets, honeybees, and mealworms – have at least the same if not higher nutritional value than the commonly consumed meats like beef and chicken, and not a single comparison shows insects to be nutritionally inferior to meat.

Me? No, I can’t get past the gag reflex! I grew up in a Steel workers home. Meat was always served 3 meals a day! Although, I am sure I have inadvertently eaten bugs that may have been ground up in the processing process. If so, I didn’t know it at the time!

How about you???

Answer 1

Hell no!! Besides, the planet can't be saved!! Bill Gates is out of his mind!

Answer 2

It's been bugging me to be honest.

Ugh!

Answer 3

In the spirit of Blue's answer... No, I wouldn't eat a bug.  Those tiny electronic eavesdropping devices are sure to cause indigestion and probably have little to no nutritive value.  

Answer 4

Ew definitely not for me, sorry. I need my meat!

Answer 5

Honeybees are endangered.  Probably not enough left to save the planet.  

There are lots of crickets and mealworms.  Put them in a blender and fry them up like a crab cake.  Probably not bad.

You can have my portions! They say if you are allergic to shellfish you may be allergic to some of the insects being suggested as meat substitutes.

I am definitely allergic to shellfish.
