Crickets and Maggots
"The food source of the future will be very different than today."- my conclusion
Recently I have read and seen some interesting stories. In one of the stories the farmer farms maggots and then they are used to create animal feed. Many companies are watching this start up because it is believed that in the future we will have food shortages due to the ever increasing number of people on the planet.
So maggots for animal feed.
The second story I watched was another company that grows crickets and then uses them to create a flour. This slightly earthy tasting flour can then be used instead of regular flour. This is not uncommon in many cultures that insects are a part of the diet.
So crickets for people.
Today's question is:
"If you were not told that there is cricket flour in your cookies would you eat them?"
