Entomophagy in Western Culture

Holt gives the reader a very interesting and rational look at eating insects and the precedents for doing so in Western culture. He takes us from Greece up to what was his modern day England with examples of Heroditus' Aristotle's and Darwin's eating insects and how they prepared them. Excellent read that would solve the world's hunger problems in a single afternoon if our creepy crawly little friends were just included in our diets!
