Waiter, I’ll have Mealworms in a takeaway box! Did you know that most restaurants have insects on their menu? From China to Japan, Mexico and many more countries eat bugs. 

Your first impression on this is probably “yuck, disgusting”. But most people who have tried insects have not liked but loved them. I believe that bugs can be good in many ways. Such as an easy snack that makes you stronger and healthier.

Did you know insects are high in protein. Bugs might look disgusting, but their really healthy. The benefits for eating bugs are endless! Here are some main points. People have used Insects for weight loss, energy and to get their body stronger. The most healthiest Insect is the beetle with low fat and vitamins and minerals. A single caterpillar has more protein by weight then a turkey leg. Bugs are just so healthy. Eating Insects are better than your normal and average meal. Making your own bug meals or snacks are just as fun as they are healthy for you.

Sorpion lollipops, mealworm fries, chocolate covered crickets. These are all a good snacks for you. Did you know that the red skittle you had has some bugs in it? Most red candy or foods has cochineal, which is commonly used to make red dye. But this is no ordinary dye. It is made with the insides of an insects. 80% of the population actually like eating Insects. The snacks are just the beginning for the meals.

Crunch! Snap! Crack! That was the taste of a bugtacular meal. From grasshopper bacon bites to a big beetle feast. But how do they make these delicious spreads? The most commonly used bug for a meal is a cricket. Fancy restaurants have a very delicate taste for bugs. There are around 500 or more ways to make meals made with bugs. Did you know that the most common handmade food is meal-worm fries. Worms are fried to make a crunchy texture.

So from my opion I think that most people should eat or either try bugs. The flavour and crunchiness is just waiting for you. These insects are not only healthy but are meals and easy snacks. My goal for you is go eat at least two bugs. As they say love, eat and enjoy.
