Auburn Student Eating Bugs For Every Meal
An Auburn University student decided to take on the challenge of eating bugs for every meal for a month. Cam Brantley-Rios is trying to bring awareness as to how good bugs are for you. He says crickets and worms are high in protein but low in fat not to mention they have a low carbon footprint.
He says it’s cheaper and more environmentally friendly to eat bugs rather than a cheeseburger. Cooking time is minimized too because cooking up a cricket or worm only takes a couple of minutes. The important thing, he says, is to remember eating bugs isn’t gross, and they’re especially good on tacos, omelets and stir fries.
Many countries around the world have found bugs a great source of food for many years and the United Nation is trying to get other countries to join in. For the west though, the thought of eating bugs makes your skin crawl, so it may be a while before you walk into a fast food restaurant and order a worm sandwiches with a side on cricket fries.
