Insects are an environmentally friendly, cheap, easily grown source of protein, better for us than meat.
They are regularly eaten by as much as 80% of the world's population, but it seems shocking to many in the UK and US.
However, textured insect protein (TIP), a food product which can be made from any insect species, can replace meat, dairy, or eggs - customized to please consumer tastes.
Also available; burgers, sausages, ice cream, brownies, energy bars, pasta, and even dog food - all made with sustainable ingredients such as cricket powder.

I bought a sample back of EXO Protein bars (EXO as in cricket exoskeleton flour) just to see what they're like. They weren't bad at all. I don't buy protein bars in general, so it's not really my thing for that reason.

I lived in Zambia for a few years and managed to eat caterpillars, termites, and grasshoppers prepared all sorts of ways. I've thought heavily about incorporating insect flour into my cooking. I have a buddy in the Army who uses that for all his baking as it's a great source of protein.

I used to eat ants as a kid and have always thought we should be eating more insects. Sadly, that switch probably won't be made until there is absolutely no other choice.
