Hi Everybody, http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20110509/COLUMNIST/110509634/2416/NEWS?p=1&tc=pg
"demonstration farm is under way that could change our conventional views of agriculture. Funded by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, this farm features "mini-livestock," including crickets, mealworms, weaver ants and palm weevils. "Entomophagy" (otherwise known as eating insects) is the most sustainable diet for consumers who want a small energy footprint, and a high protein/low cholesterol intake. "Rearing insects for large-scale farming is a cutting-edge global initiative that seeks to feed the anticipated 8 billion people who will inhabit Earth in the year 2030. "Halfway around the world, the Oxford Museum of Natural History recently hosted an entomophagy banquet, where BBC media stars mingled with ambassadors, munching salted mealworms and locusts dipped in chocolate, to raise awareness of rain forest conservation. "At the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, the Critter Cook-Off at the annual Bug Fest every September attracts more than 25,000 curious and daring bug-tasters." "Officially, Americans already eat more bugs than we realize. Permissible levels of insect body parts allowed in processed foods are regulated by the federal government." -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
