Why you should eat bugs?

🐛Eating Edible Insects🐛

By Eva

I am learning to persuade my audience 

Are you low in protein, fibre and healthy fats, maybe even essential minerals or vitamins? Then you need to cook with bugs! I strongly recommend that you should cook with insects, this is called entomophagy. You know some people say if you eat a scorpion's tail it makes you strong. There are many reasons why we should eat bugs such as there are many tasty treats, they are healthy and you can also be very creative when you are cooking with bugs.

You probably like candy, lollipops, chocolate, maybe even pastries, but did you know insects can be made into sweets? A scorpion can crawl its way into your lollipop, a grasshopper can hop to your cake that your mum made and a mealworm can wriggle on to your hot chips. Apparently all of these bugs are perfectly safe to eat. According to estimates more than two billion people like insects. I believe you will like insects if you tried them. Not only are these insects tasty treats but they are very healthy. Definitely more healthy than the Marmite Bagel Bites you had five minutes ago.

Are you trying to save the environment and be healthy at the same time? Then a bug is what you need. As it does not have heaps of calories it does not produce greenhouse gases. They are also low in fat and full of protein. A palmworm beetle has 36 grams of protein and that is about the same amount of protein as bacon, except a palmworm beetle has less fat and bacon is bad for your heart. So which one do you think is better for you to eat? Just remember to cook a bug before you eat it. When you are cooking with bugs you can be healthy and be very creative.




Thailand, Mexico, China, Brazil and Australia are just a few countries around the world that have been creative in the kitchen and now cook with bugs. Did you know you can be creative as well when you are cooking with bugs? You could make a grasshopper cake, critter fritters, gluten free carrot cricket cupcakes and more! These delicious treats are also healthy. Come on, go get some bugs and start getting creative.




As you can see there are many reasons why you should cook with bugs. Such as they tasty treats that will have you wanting more, the plus side is you can have more as they are healthy! Also each night you can travel the world and discover different recipes from all over the world from the comfort of your own dining room! As you can see from these reasons this is why I strongly believe that you and I should cook with bugs.
