Time.com this morning has a video feature on "How to Cook Bugs." The tease on the front page insists that "[a] great way to save the planet may be to stop eating beef and munch on crickets instead."
Insisted the video narrator:
If you can get beyond the ick factor, insects like grasshoppers can actually be a healthy, low-fat source of protein and vitamins. And when you realize how much land, food, and water it takes to produce cattle, then maybe raising crickets for food isn't such a bad deal for the earth.
