Scientists grow edible insects

It would be a last resort for me too but I forgot to mention, you can fry em, bake em, broil em or sauté em just like you do with meat.

I'd rather just eat an apple, or orange or a pizza. Why would anyone WANT to eat insects if they have other food available?

Or is this a ploy to GENETICALLY ENGINEER INSECTS to make them INEDIBLE in case food does run out?

They really are thinking ahead...

whats wrong with eating bugs i always used to watch castaway(C4 uk) were thay bitch about only havein rice and then about all the ants be everywere and think why are thay not mixing the two to balance the meal? anyway its better than this s**t

but the gm bit i`d think about eating summut else

Esperanzas, a large grasshopper species with long antennae that abound in Costa Rica's forests and rural areas are "far more savory than shrimp" when seasoned with garlic, according to the researcher. Zumbado should know -- he has consumed scores of insects during his travels in Costa Rica and Benin.
