Why eating insects should not be errors you?

According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, there are three good reasons for that and start to make mistakes (Yes, as in insects) a part of our diet:

They are highly nutritious: high protein, low in fat and full of vitamins of the B complex, iron and zinc.Increase in errors requires less food, water and energy than cattle, making it a source of food much more Earth-friendly.There are more of them that there are of us. More than 1,000 types of insects can be eaten.

Here is a reason why most of us is not jumping on the bandwagon:

They are the mistakes. Yuck.

Let me give my Western-ness aside for a minute, however. Because entomologists of the University of Wageningen Dutch - when the investigation is under way on how to make more acceptable - insects make a convincing argument to encourage humans to rethink food or lobster worms as a source of possible protein.

With an additional 3 million people are estimated to share the planet with us by the year 2050, land and other resources necessary for animal husbandry becomes scarce. Insects, might be (humanely, for lovers of animals) in his garage eating their food waste.

I'm not ready to order a taco of grasshopper, but I can certainly see the logic.

And if you think that it is absolute, it would never allow a six-legged creature as cross his lips, consider these statistics:

In the United States, more processed foods contain small amounts of insects, within the limits established by the food and drug administration. Chocolate, the FDA limit is 60 fragments of insects per 100 grams. Peanut butter may be up to 30 parts of insects per 100 grams, and fruit juice can have five eggs of the fruit fly and larvae of one or two per 250 ml (little more than a cup). We also use many insect products to dye our foods, such as the cochineal red dye in imitation, Campari and sweet crab sticks. So some of the way as in the capture of six-legged creatures are already a regular part of the diet.

For the most part, are already eating them.

I am an omnivore, but probably would be vegetable before making a part of my diet to errors. And you?
