For several years now, eating insects has been touted as the next big way to save the planet, with many media outlets trumpeting the insect-eating revolution. And for good reason. Rich in protein and fiber and with similar levels of fatty acids as those found in fish, insects such as mealworms, caterpillars and crickets, among hundreds of others, are healthy food options. Raising insects also produces far less greenhouse gas emissions and uses much less water than beef, chicken or pork.
