Sauterelles grillées, riz sauté aux vers de bambou ou punaises d’eau géantes frites… Les Thaïs raffolent de ces bestioles, dont ils consomment, selon les saisons, quelque 200 espèces différentes. Ils sont même les champions de l’entomophagie (la consommation d’insectes) puisqu’ils sont à la fois premier producteur et premier consommateur parmi la centaine de pays coutumiers de cette pratique.

Food from Nowhere: Complicating Cultural Food Colonialism to Understand Matcha as Superfood. Abstract | Matcha has served as the focal point of the Japanese tea ceremony, chanoyu, for hundreds of years.
More recently, this powdered green tea has arrived on the shores of North America as one of the latest superfood “discoveries.” Like many of the other superfoods that have captured the attention of the West, matcha’s newfound global popularity reflects what philosopher Lisa Heldke calls “cultural food colonialism.” However, while many ethnic foods and superfoods are viewed and judged through the lenses of authenticity and exoticness, matcha has seen an erasure of its cultural identity since its arrival in the United States.

Mickey Gjerris, Associated Professor in Bioethics at Copenhagen University Can you tell us how did you get interested in the edible insects issues? I have been working on issues within animal ethics for many years. When I saw the reports coming out on the possibility to turn insects into a mass provider of animal protein for food and feed, I became curious as to what extent the animal welfare issues and broader animal ethics questions concerning e.g. the killing of animals and the possible violation of their integrity had been addressed. We already have a range of domesticated animals within the food production system that raises a lot of academic and public debate.

Tribeca Film Festival 2016: Bugs | Review Among the many shock moments in Bong Joon-ho’s sci-fi production Snowpiercer (2013) was the revelation that the primary source of the protean blocks provided to non-elite passengers at the back of the train were bugs.
And as Andreas Jonsen’s documentary Bugs depicts, it turns out bugs as food are not in fact necessarily the stuff of sci-fi. Bugs succeeds in eliminating the “EEEWWW” from its topic and presenting insect food sources as a watchable, valid idea.

Why a diet of worms could be good for you. For hundreds of thousands of years, worms have been infecting humans, burrowing into our bodies, setting up shop in our organs and generally making themselves at home.
