Go green by eating insects: UN agency
BEETLES, caterpillars and wasps could supplement diets around the world as an environmentally friendly food source if only Western consumers could get over their "disgust", the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said yesterday.
"The main message is really: 'Eat insects'", said Ms Eva Mueller, director of forest economics at the FAO.
She said: "Two billion people - a third of the world's population - are already eating insects because they are delicious and nutritious." - AFP.
