There is a "thing" now to talk about how important it is to eat bugs in order to help save the planet. It goes without saying that this is completely forbidden according to Jewish law [actually 5 איסורים per bug]. Here is what they are saying:
We should all eat bugs. Eating insects can have a positive effect on your life in a variety of ways. There is the personal experience, the global experience and the environmental impact that eating insects can have.
Adding insects to our diets will bring out new tastes and textures giving you a whole new palate experience.
Insects are nutritious and packed with protein with all of the essential amino acids. They are high in iron, calcium and B12. They are a great source of Omega 3 and are prebiotics – nutrition for probiotics.
Meat production is a major cause of global warming and is unsustainable. Adding insects to diets worldwide will reduce the need for meat and therefore help fight global warming.
Add Bugs to Your Meals
Many people are surprised by how good insects taste; and that insects come in such a wide variety of flavors. Crickets are referred to as having a “nutty” flavor while, for example, water scorpions taste like pumpkin seeds, and katydids have a pistachio-like flavor. [ICCCCHHHHHHHHHH!!!!]
It may not surprise you that the hardest insect to eat is… your first one.
After your first insect, you’ll find it easier to accept, (sushi was ‘icky’ when new to North America until the California Roll was introduced) and pretty soon you’ll be laughing with your friends that it was once thought ‘Gross’.
Insects offer a whole new culinary experience.
Insects are easy to eat. This is one reason many people like them as snacks.
Bugs are Healthy for You!
Are insects what’s missing from our diets? They’re high in protein with all of the essential amino acids and they have as much calcium as milk and iron as spinach. Bugs exoskeletons are made from chitin. Insect chitin is very good for you because it’s a prebiotic (food for probiotics).
I THANK HASHEM FOR FORBIDDING US TO EAT BUGS AND THAT OUR HOLY WIVES CAREFULLY CHECK OUR VEGETABLES FOR INSECTS!!!!😊😊
