What's tasty, abundant and high in protein? Bugs! Although less common outside the tropics, entomophagy, the practice of eating bugs, was once extremely widespread throughout cultures. You may feel icky about munching on insects, but they feed about 2 billion people each day (Mmm, fried tarantulas). They also hold promise for food security and the environment. Emma Bryce makes a compelling case for dining on bugs. [Directed by NEIGHBOR, narrated by Addison Anderson].

Emma Bryce: Should we eat bugs?

Should we eat bugs?

Entomophagy, eating bugs, once widespread, now faces an 'ick factor' in the West, despite being a nutritious, sustainable choice.

Insects like mealworms offer up to 50% protein and essential nutrients, presenting a viable solution for global food insecurity.

Cultivating insects for food demands less environmental resources than traditional livestock, hinting at a greener dietary shift.
