The practice of eating insects, known as entomophagy, may sound extreme, but it’s actually quite common throughout the world – and has been that way for millennia.
There are more than 1,900 documented edible insect species and some are even “farmed” the way cattle or chickens are in the US.
With growing concerns over the unsustainable practices that constitute modern “farming,” and the very real prospects that food shortages and environmental destruction could be an inevitable part of the future if more environmentally friendly farming alternatives aren’t soon embraced, eating insects may prove to be a very wise, and necessary, decision.
In fact, a new report by the Food and Agriculture Organizations of the United Nations (FAO) highlights the many prospects insects offer for the future of food and feed security

Better to feed the insects to chickens and then eat the chicken eggs. Chickens are ridiculously sustainable.

Chef Gordon's Deep-Fried Tarantulas
"First I freeze the spiders—a humane way to dispatch them—then I remove the abdomen, which is basically a fluid-filled sac, and singe off the body hairs, using a butane torch. I dip them in tempura batter and drop in hot oil. The end result looks good and tastes even better. I served these to guests, including astronomer Neil deGrasse Tyson, at the 111th Explorers Club Annual Dinner at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC."

Insects require less space to grow than chickens. You need less resources to grow insects than chickens

Insects are free in a properly maintained ecosystem. Chickens will never just appear in your yard.

Sorry, I don't eat insects because I'm white and I come from a culture with a standard time preference necessary to not enter famine mode and have to eat insects.

That's actually the current theory of how chickens are domesticated.

Fungal infection destroys all the cereal crops? What will you eat then?
