hmmmmm na wa o. what will someone not hear with all this research and findings.

The United Nations has some advice for the starving people of the world that might bug you. Eating insects might just be the future of food. A new report from the U.N. says that eating insects (high in protein, low in fat) can help fight global warming, pollutions, and yes, hunger. And if the suggestion catches on, it could even be great for small businesses.

The concept of eating insects as part of a regular diet is known as entomophagy is already practiced by an estimated two billion people, according to the report, which was issued on Monday, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. In 2012, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation named Dr. Aaron T. Dossey’s “All Things Bugs” company the winner of the foundation’s annual Grand Challenges Explorations contest. The group received a grant to pursue its project to come up with viable insect protein options to combat malnutrition in children.

So, which bugs earned the U.N.’s seal of approval? Well, there are reportedly more than 1,900 edible insect species. The international governing body suggested people try red ants, bees, caterpillars, crickets, grasshoppers, locusts wasps and certain types of water beetles. - http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/u-n-encourages-people-eat-more-insects-004159870.html

they should go to hell.





wait o,does it mean ''there is nothing like Garry in there dictionary?'
.

No matter how proteinious some insects are, no one can convince me to cook them for meal. Moreover these same people encouraging us to start eating insects will one day start talking about preserving them in the name of "endangered species."

Have global poverty gotten to this stage?

dunno where it is said that 'tis cos of global poverty or something.. most ants are nutritious and edible..i have eaten ants before..those flying termites though..lolz

I've eaten those bugs that come out in the rain once, quite tasty and scrunchy. Anything other than that, I'll pass

But are we saying that the level of hunger and starvation has gotten to that level?
Thank goodness that mosquitoes and houseflies are not inclusive...yuck!

ARe you that starved? This is for refugee in war turn country. Its not for countries like Nigeria. Nigeria is not that poor not to be able to afford garri, fufu e.t.c. There are so many darn cheap foods in Nigeria.

This is what we cal....**astromoliganic Stupidity**i dnt blame dem,d eat fried rice nd chicken wit our money nd advice us to eat insects Abi

Termite is sweet, especially with Gaari Ilorin, don't pour the termite inside the gaari, just hold it with your left hand. While you drink the Garri, you continue to throw it in.










Don't talk with anybody while in the process, so that you can be sure you have balanced your diet

Hmmmmmmmm no be africa dem dey use style to tell kai black man has suffered i regect every curse jesus dun carry d cross wetin happen!

Nice one, better than starving to death.

Yea come on baby eat me

Just had some Roaches for breakfast.......yum yum yum

Some of us grew up eating some ants as a delicacy. For the Igbos,' Mkpu'(termite), 'Nwa Igu'(Carterpillar) and
some other insects are still prized sources of protein. If they are readily available why not?

Some of the above listed insects(grasshopper et al) are food here in Nigeria. So, why the fuse?

Grasshopper is a delicacy here so that one no be problem for some people but bees? hmm lekwa ka ogba gburu nmadu.

insects are very rich in protein and iron.... research.



[size=18pt]but op.... hmmmmm

where or when did the UN(F.A.O actually)refer to 'starving people'[/size]?

Cool, we have been practising that a long time ago in the North. We eat dried, fried and salted 'shinge'. The kind of insect that flies around bulbs when it rains.
