Bugs are served on the dinner plates of half the world daily and have
been for hundreds of years, yet, so many of us in western society
struggle with the thought of eating them. It makes many of us feel a
little squeamish! For some of us, there is nothing we’d rather do less!
Are we right?
To be able to overcome this fear and start enjoying eating insects, we need to figure out why we feel this way. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that two billion people consume insects as a regular part of their diet. So why is it that us, in the west, feel this way? Our ancestors certainly never had this problem.
