but people love eating odd bugs for
lunch most cultures in the world are all
for entomophagy or insect eating and the
rest of us well we should probably get
used to it to come here
have you seen it what do you think of
their performance yeah
they crazy as hell so crazy so welcome
to watchmojo.com
i’ve random facts about a fascinating
topic for this installment we’re
counting down five of the most essential
things you probably didn’t know about
edible insects I can’t believe I ate
that whole thing you ate it Ralph I
can’t believe I ate that whole thing
number five crickets have as much
omega-3 as salmon IRA make it three
slake we’ll take him down find it
activate
omega-3 is one of those important good
fats you hear about and good dietary
sources of it are hard to come by bugs
have other surprising nutritional
properties too they are a fantastic
source of protein and depending on the
species they can contain more calcium
than milk and more iron than beef and
according to many people eating bugs is
also an excellent source of the
heebie-jeebies
number four insects are among the most
eco-friendly crops Pig poultry and
cattle farms may provide a wide variety
of delicious meat products but their
environmental impact can be pretty
intense largely due to how much space
and water is needed to grow their feed
we could reclaim some of the 30% of the
Earth’s land surface which is currently
being used by the livestock industry to
grow animals and the grains that the
animals eat according to the United
Nations report on edible insects
crickets need only 1.7 kilograms of feed
to produce one kilogram of edible mass
or like three or four meats we’re going
to need to eat for a week up for this
one compare that to conventional meats
that require anywhere from two point
five kilograms to ten kilograms of feed
to produce a kilogram of meat and
insects can be fed on organic waste like
compost they also have the potential to
help slow climate change since they
produce very few greenhouse gases though
I guess bigger bugs like this one
produced more gas was that your auntie
and that must mean that that’s your
uncle in huh you know y’all look alike
number three most of the world is
already eating them Oh
restaurants will get closed down for
having a cockroach in the kitchen yeah
yeah it’s a starter
if you live in places like Canada the US
Europe or Russia then your first
reaction to eating bugs is probably yuck
however most other places in the world
are accustomed to some form of
entomophagy
you eat your Slava Tennessee West man in
parts of Mexico wasp larva is good eats
in China all kinds of fried bugs and
even scorpions are on the street food
menu rural Cambodians have made a
cottage industry of scouring the
infested rice paddies for grasshoppers
and selling them in neighboring Thailand
well you know the way the thing is I’m
the Freak it honor everyone else is
eating that army in these number two
you’ll soon be enjoying them at home
slimy you satisfied
bomb and Whiteman international food
trend forecasters predict that insects
particularly in protein bar form are
going to become a serious trend in 2015
experts say that if bug eating were to
catch on in the West then catching bugs
in the wild could be devastating to
their ecosystems so small or large-scale
farming is best
well these smartly designed prototypes
aim to make it easy for you to breed
bugs right in your kitchen I don’t to
brag but some of us have already been
doing this for years so far we’re still
waiting for the first consumer bug
breeders to hit the market though some
DIY plans exist on the internet if the
forecasters are right though you’ll soon
be enjoying tasty bug products like
these or breeding them yourself just
like me and my filthy roommates
number one you’ve been eating them all
along that’s right as much as 500 grams
or about a pound per year in Western
countries how well food regulatory
agencies set acceptable impurity levels
on processed foods like peanut butter
soups and chocolate for instance in the
US the FDA says 150 insect fragments per
hundred grams of flour is just fine I
think also if you’re eating anything
that’s been dyed red that dye probably
came from Co chenille a particular
insect that feeds on cacti which is your
favorite bit me Tommy I’m Tom Delaney
why is that so do you eat insects or
would you sooner eat something like this
choose a monkey free for more nutritious
top tens and barely palatable top fives
