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?

Do you think we should eat like cavemen?

From TheSunTimes.com:

There’s a buzz in some scientific circles that say we should eat like a caveman.  This of course means – when it is all said and done – we should eat how man in earlier times ate.  
What did early mankind eat?
Scientific research shows that Cavemen, or hunters and gatherers ate a lot healthier than most Americans today
What Did They Eat?
These people ate primarily vegetables, fruit, nuts, roots and later, meat was added to their diet.
Today, these healthy staples have been almost entirely replaced with refined sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and cereal, breads, including all types of refined grains, potatoes and pasteurized milk products… which do nothing for our health at all.  In fact just look at all the health issues we have today.
Dr. Loren Cordain, author of The Paleo Diet and considered to be one of the world’s leading experts on Paleolithic nutrition, took a look at what they ate, and decided that they had very good nutrition.  Today we have a tremendous lack in good nutrition, even though we have an abundance of food in, fast food, TV dinners, take out, and processed foods.
Although abundant, that type of food is not creating good health for us.
