Eat the Beetles!: An Exploration Into Our Conflicted Relationship with Insects

by David Waltner-Toews

Book Overview

Will eating insects change the world for the better

Meet the beetles: there are millions and millions of them and many fewer of the rest of us -- mammals, birds, and reptiles. Since before recorded history, humans have eaten insects. While many get squeamish at the idea, entomophagy -- people eating insects -- is a possible way to ensure a sustainable and secure food supply for the eight billion of us on the planet.
