    What's tasty, abundant and high in protein? Bugs! Although less common outside the tropics, entomophagy, the practice of eating bugs, was once extremely widespread throughout cultures. You may feel icky about munching on insects, but they feed about 2 billion people each day (Mmm, fried tarantulas). They also hold promise for food security and the environment. Emma Bryce makes a compelling case for dining on bugs.

      Bugs use less resources compared to food in the form of cows, pigs and chickens. They use far less water compared to all of the other mammals. This will allow us to have a higher potential human capacity limit, hypothetically speaking. Another video explains this further:

However, this video then goes on to talk about how humans lost their taste for bugs in 10,000 BC, when the agricultural revolution just began. These two statements were very contradictory.

Milk is also a food source for calves. But eating a bug whole does involve eating all of the insides and waste as well. Not really a problem but contributes to the "ick factor".

      You should. Changen Pan didn't quite nail it with her criticism, but it's along the right path: The problem with eating insects is that they often come coupled with parasites, like tape worms. House flies can carry tape worms, ticks carry babesiosis, plague from fleas, leishmaniasis comes from sandflies, hymenolepiasis from meal worms & flour bugs & cockroaches, liver flukes from ants & snails, schistosomiasis of many kinds from snails. Properly preparing insects is very, very important. You can become very sick very quickly if you just pick stuff off the petunias and have at them. Part of this is that you are eating the entire animal; generally speaking the muscles of an animal aren't the organs that contain (too many) parasites, the digestive organs are. This isn't an argument saying "let's never eat intestines of any sort," far from it. I love sausages and kidneys, but they need to be cooked properly -- and in a country that barely understands how to cook pork chops, I'm wary about people introducing insects. That being said, you're rather unlikely to get a parasite from a deep-fried meal, and that is similar to the traditional way of preparing many insects.

So to be a vegan you are still supporting invasive agriculture, unless you get all your veg and fruit from a Food Forest or forage out in the wild.
      The truth is there is no black or white answer, and as annoying as that sounds, all it means is we have to expand our food supply to include more insects, mollusks, and other nutrient dense life forms that reproduce more quickly than plants or mammals

      Thank you emma bryce,
      This is why I hate humanity.
      Not once in this entire drivel was this explored from THEIR point of view! You look at the health, environmental, historical, "ick" factor and even the taste, but you never once took a second to look at it from their perspective, to show our innate human-animal trait of EMPATHY AND COMPASSION and never once put yourself in their shoes and thought what it would be like to have your life cut NEEDLESSLY short by an advanced race "just cause."
      Are we SERIOUSLY that selfishly pleasure-driven and gluttonous where we are COMPLETELY, I mean literally COMPLETELY oblivious to the perspective of the victim being killed? Are we SERIOUSLY? These nutrients are found in abundance from their source: the Earth! plant life, which we HAVE to eat anyways for optimal health, is is already abundant in these nutrients and there is no need -aside from the selfish thrill and pleasure seeking of you all, of "emma bryce,"- whatsoever to then INTENTIONALLY(not stepping on them which is unavoidable) kill them needlessly!
      Where we don't even consider them victims because they are our "inferiors" and "just dumb bugs"? Clearly, Ted, that is why we have such suffering today! We have a mentality that accepts subjugating a group until they are no longer considered victims. Hell why am I wasting my time? Most are too bereft of critical thought for these words to even get through to them.
      Are we really that much of a failure of an advanced race? Is humanity truly that great of a failure where we, all of these hundreds of thousands of viewers, have no concept of our compassion and empathy whatsoever? That we can only apply it to our own exclusive group whether that be species, age, race, class, stage of development or gender?
      I am ashamed that this is supposed to be the crown jewel of education, and it fails to educate the most BASIC of human-animal traits: COMPASSION! I am ashamed of humanity.
