Insects Nutritious

Many people in many countries would not eat insects. It was also assumed for a long time that humans could not digest insects since they would not produce an enzyme necessary to break down their exoskeletons. However, new research shows that humans can digest many types of insects and that they are nutritious. Insects can provide proteins and have a much smaller carbon footprint than beef or pork.
