That’s right, not livestock fare or vegetarian food, Royce is cooking mealworms (beetle larvae), waxworms (caterpillar larvae) and grasshoppers. Why? There are a number of good reasons to eat bugs. First, if you cook them properly, they have their own flavors and generally are quite tasty. Second, insects are a healthy and abundant protein source for food. And last, pound for pound, insects use far less water than livestock (other than chickens) to grow in commercial facilities. As Lynn Royce explains in the video, although we Americans usually have a natural aversion to eating bugs, with the increasing impacts from climate change, we will need all the protein foods that we can produce. In particular, growing scarcity of freshwater and volatile weather will likely reduce agricultural production. In some cases, like with the waxworms, they taste like a crispy potato chip but (do) contain nutritional value. Not all bad!\n
