Insects are already being touted by some as the future of food, with a new study finding that eating crickets may also be beneficial for our guts.
WOULD you consider replacing your favourite meat dish with insects, either for the taste, or for the health benefits? A US researcher studying their effect on health advocates insects as a potentially nutritious and tasty snack.
Valerie Stull, a recent doctoral graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and herself an insect eater, is the co-founder of the startup and research collaboration MIGHTi, the Mission to Improve Global Health Through Insects. Having tried - and enjoyed - insects on vacation at age 12, she is aiming to promote them as a more mainstream food in the United States.
