"Experts in Brussels believe insects and other creepy crawlies could be a vital source of nutrition which will not only solve food shortages but also help save the environment.

They have launched a three million euro (£2.65 million) project to promote the eating of insects while also asking national watchdogs like the UK's Food Standards Agency to investigate the issue.

Proponents of entomophagy – insect eating – argue that bugs are a low-cholesterol, low-fat protein food source."

Hm... I have read that the keratin that the insect bodies are made from do not digest easily and so it must logically follow that the old rear passage will get some stick when it passes.... OUCH big time.
Sorry, shove your insects I will stay committed to the meat and veg diet I was brought up on.
Let the ones who want to eat insects eat them and have the pain I say.. ( no wonder that toilet paper is is a rare commodity in those countries that eat them though.....

During a visit to Uganda a few years ago to visit a mate who was living there. We were drinking in a pub in Kampala and it was my mates round, as he goes he asked if I wanted a packet of crisps and so came back with beers and a bag of deep fried locusts!! 

The Ugandan blokes we were drinking with thought this was hilarious, and the challenge was on...    So I slowly but surely ate the bag of locusts washed down with a few more bottles of 'Nile Special'......

They were'nt that bad, abit like overdone greasy chips.... the funny thing was though, despite me kindly offering to share them around, none of the Ugandans would touch them with a bargepole!!     :-?

Yuk.I think that my "chuck muscle" would have intervened

It's a reasonably well known fact that the majority of insects are high in protein and are of high nutritional value. I can't understand why we don't eat more of them.

You'd have a job trying to BBQ them at an OOF meet though Bob the little buggers would drop through the gaps in the grill
