Insect Europe Insects on a Global Food Agenda In 2013, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) issued a report proposing edible insects as a viable alternative for food and feed security both in developed and developing countries. The idea of eating insects may be a challenging idea for many. Nutritionally, insects can be good source of protein, minerals, vitamins, fatty acids and fiber, especially in relation to conventional livestock. Many public and private sectors across the globe are harnessing these opportunities. As human food, insects present versatile applications; insects can be processed into a range of items such as energy bars, meat substitutes, and enriched flours. In many developing countries where insects already have a respected place in the local market, entomophagy presents many opportunities.
MiniLivestock Cockroach Milk Could Make A Nutritious Meal In The Future While the idea of a cockroach milkshake might not exactly get your gastric juices flowing, it’s a highly nutritious source of protein and it could be a valuable tool to ease our world’s food production woes. Around 10 years ago, it was discovered that the stomachs of a particular type of cockroach contain milk protein crystals. This cockroach (Diploptera punctata) is the only known viviparous cockroach, meaning it gives birth to live young, which is fairly bizarre for an insect. Just like mammals, they have to feed their young with a “milk” containing protein crystals, and these crystals were found to hold a crazy amount of protein. A single crystal is estimated to contain more than three times the amount of energy found in an equivalent mass of dairy milk. However, as you can imagine, milking cockroaches isn’t easy. So now, an international team of scientists has developed a less demanding and potentially cheaper way to harness this cockroachy-goodness. [H/T: Munchies]
Information Expository Speech As citizens of the United States, we have grown up with a biased view of what can be considered edible and what can't. For example, we consider cafeteria food edible, but pass off fried mealworms and moths as inedible. This is a conditioned view of reality, and it really makes no sense to me. I believe that in the United States of America, eating insects should be socially acceptable. The eating of insects is called Entomophagy, and it commonly receives negative reactions in the United States. People have been eating insects since the beginning of time. Many countries are following their ancestors examples today. Actually, what you may not realize, is that you are consuming the same creepy, crawly cuisine as the rest of the world in your ''normal'' everyday foods. In fact, not only has it not harmed anyone, its really quite healthy for you. People of the past and many people of today realize the benefits of eating insects.

Why Not Eat Insects? - Vincent M. Holt (1885) In 1885 Vincent M. Holt published a small pamphlet, in which he explained his theory of "entomophagy" (the eating of insects as a food source). This little book is still in print and read mainly I feel for its eccentricities. Holt argued that the nutritional content of insects could help the dietary inadequacies of the "working man". Sadly for him the Victorian's didn't agree so "slug soup" and "wireworm sauce" have not made inroads into the national cuisine. As Holt himself writes ..." Mark Warner - 2007 In entering upon this work I am fully conscious of the difficulty of battling against a long-existing and deep-rooted public prejudice.
Eating insects won't take off in the west Insects are unlikely to become a viable solution to feeding the increasing global population if western attitudes towards them remain negative, according to a leading analyst. A decline in meat supply and a rise in demand for it would spur food businesses to look for alternative proteins, as the global population reached a predicted 9bn by 2050, said Media Eghbal, head of countries’ analysis at Euromonitor International. “The answer [to feeding the world] could be insects, which are already being eaten in many parts of the world by an estimated 2bn people, according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations,” she said. Viable food source However, the most obvious challenge to insects becoming a viable food source for the future was the negative attitudes towards eating insects in western cultures, which had to change, she added.
