Survive The World With The Locusts!
We wouldn't have guessed that raw fish, fortress or chia seed would be so popular. What if someone told you our locust would save our planet?
We wouldn't have guessed that raw fish, fortress or chia seeds would be so popular, but they have already taken their place at lunches and smoothies.
Survive the world with the locusts!
So do you think that our eating habits can change by drinking fried grasshoppers? Abokado, a sushi restaurant chain in London's capital London this week, added locusts to its food menu and said that this food is both healthy and sustainable.
Lindsay Brown from the BBC's Newsbeat team penned how locusts or insects could change our eating habits. Black Alderin, the director of the Abokado, thinks that in a few years, the insects will take their place in the food we eat every day.
Again in the UK, supermarket chain Sainsbury's 250 branches began to sell as a snack last year. Other brands also sell similar food products under the food menus, highlighting that they are healthy and eco-friendly.

On the other hand, 2 billion people around the world are already eating insects. It's called entomofagi. You can eat some insects, but only about 40 percent of cows can be consumed. A United Nations report, published in 2013, suggests that eating insects will help feed and reduce pollution.
Dr. Imperial College London. Tilly Collins says she hopes insect food is going to spread, because it benefits the environment a lot:
"Sustainability is getting harder because we cannot continue to eat the amount of meat we eat in the West now. In developing countries, food safety can be a serious food source because food safety is a problem."
For insect breeding, soil, food and water are used much less than animal breeding; at the same time 80 percent less methane than cows released by methane gas is released by insects.
What do you think about these statements? Can our planet really survive locusts? Do not forget to transfer your thoughts to us in the comments section.
