Researchers at a Welsh university say they may not be limited to bushtucker trials in future.

They offer a more environmentally-friendly source of protein than many other foods and could help feed the world's growing population.Chatting over a tray of 20,000 live mealworms, Dr Tiffany Lau, a postdoctoral research associate at IBERS, said insect ingredients could form part of a range of foods.

The scientists at Aberystwyth are studying the nutritional value of processed insects, which Prof Alison Kingston-Smith said could be an important source of sustainable protein."What we want to do is understand how we can feed the insects to make them the best quality they can be to deliver the nutritional quality that we need for feed and food.

A new grant will see the black soldier fly added to the research menu and extend the work to look at using insect products in animal feed.Research indicates that approximately 30% of EU consumers are willing to eat insect-based food. Some insect-based ingredients are already available and Prof Kingston-Smith believes the choice of insect food products is likely to increase in the coming years.

Eat that you... 🤢🤮

Ok

Only if you want to eat them. I don’t.

No they couldn't 🤮

Nope ....

Wonder why impoverished people continue to have more children which they cannot feed.

They would struggle to get them all in the castle

I’ll stick to my cows, pigs and chickens thank you… I won’t eat something that clearly looks like a deformed penis

Not going to happen

What are they like find with onions or in batter.

Most Celebrities are nuts 🤣🍿🍿

Yucks! Looks like those popping out of my dog's overnight poops! 😫😫😫

We're coming for ya, bugs! Nothing evades our gaping maw!

Save the insects...insects lives matter

The USFDA allows 60 insect fragments per 100 grams of chocolate (so, yes, most people have already eaten bugs.)

Or cows, sheep, pigs. Keep the insects for bush tucker trials 🤣🤣 clown world

It is too sad what the Oligarchs plan to do to the British population. They will feed them on crickets, maggots, other insects, their fascist newspapers and their BBC softening the population with mindless TV shows where they eat trash and praise it. I could cry nothing I can do

I'm A Celebrity?

No

There are nearly 3000 billionaires in the world. It could be sorted easily. It isn’t. Why?

I do agre. Eating shit is the most direct way of recycling, too.

No thanks. Beef is fine.

The problem isn’t that there’s not enough food to feed the population. It’s that food is commodified, made exclusive to those that can afford it. First-world countries seize arable land in developing countries to be used exclusively for export,

Everyone has to eat Witchetty grubs or... Mass starvation. Hmmm.

I'd rather eat rocks.

Are you taking a page from 'Snowpiercer'?

k still not doing it

Eat the rich instead

After you…

Monsanto have already killed most of the worlds insects with there pesticides.
