After being amazed by the various insects and capturing a few in the wild, The Tarantula Hornet was the one that got away, I became very interested in the potential "uses" of insects. One Day, I was visiting Berkeley during their Entomology Departments get together day or something, and what did I find? Cooked Bugs. There were Chocolate covered Crickets, Roasted Roaches, Fryed Scorpions, and more. It got me thinking a lot. Most bugs are like 30-60 percent protein.

Bugs are naturally beneficial to our environments, and with certain species experiencing an unnatural decline in population, such as Honey Bees, we are seeing adverse effects such as lower Pecan Production in California, due to the fact they are pollinat...

Some people are overtly aware of the dangerous environmental impact that heard farming of cattle has caused in this country. There aren't really any good statistics that I have found questioning the average knowledge about water scarcity and its misappropriation towards cattle feed production.
