Eat More Insects - UN To Starving People by folu500(m): 2:12pm On May 14, 2013 |
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 2 Likes |

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." 1 Like |

Moreover these same people encouraging us to start eating insects will one day start talking about preserving them in the name of "endangered species." 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. |

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 2 Likes |

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? |

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. 1 Like |
