Why we should eat dining insects

Currently there are about 1 million insect species, which means that more than 50% of all species are insects. Despite this, many people in the European room are still inking insects, which is understandable, because so far, insects were not eating on our menu. However, insects from ecological and nutritional perspective provide many advantages. The insects offers food, not only people benefits but also the environment. Insects will play an increasingly important role in our diet in the future, they will not replace the meat consumption completely. However, edible insects are a substantial part of our future diet.

Currently, around 1900 insect species are consumed in the world, here in Germany, mainly grasshoppers, meal worms and grille are also prefers to eat. What speaks for an insect consumption is, above all, in addition to the ecological and taste aspects of other aspects, such as economic and animal-ethnic reasons.

Therefore, there is currently no better alternative to our meat than insects.
