Should We All Be Eating Insects?

Should We All Be Eating Insects? is about whether tiny bugs can be a super food for people like you.

Imagine your favorite snack, maybe it's a chocolate bar or a bag of chips. Now picture that same snack, but instead of being made from sugar and corn, it’s made from crunchy little bugs, like mealworms or cricket powder. That’s what some people are eating, and they say it tastes just as good!

Bugs are super healthy because they have lots of protein in them, the same kind that helps you grow strong, like in eggs or meat. Plus, they need very little food and water to grow up big and strong.

Some people think bugs taste funny at first, just like how you might not like brussels sprouts when you try them for the first time. But once you get used to it, some say it’s actually really tasty!

So, should we all be eating insects? Maybe, especially if they help us stay healthy and strong!
