Eating insects is good for you — and the planet!
Grant Vandenberg
Does the idea of eating insects bug you?
Well, think about this: the United Nations predicts that by 2050, if current trends continue, the world’s population will reach 9.8 billion. As a result, global demand for food and feed is expected to increase by 70 per cent, putting additional pressure on already overexploited agricultural resources.
Global demand for meat in particular will continue to increase as dietary habits in developing countries change, due to rapid urbanization and economic growth.
The oceans are already over-exploited and climate change will have a profound impact on food production. Meanwhile, nearly one billion people worldwide suffer from chronic food deprivation.

An interesting article, I don't buy the climate change part and by 2050 we will have to do this but... as far as eating bugs, it's been done, I think they do it in parts of Asia. There's probably ways, one could eat them.
