Eating insects as a replacement for meat should be no big deal for anyone. After all, research suggests the average individual already eats 140,000 insect pieces each year.
Of course most are trace contaminants in other foodstuffs. However, more than two billion people worldwide enjoy insects as part of their daily diet. Most commonly eaten in Africa, Asia and South America, it is of no surprise that the hunt for protein alternatives to meat has led to rising interest in the insect-eating world.
