I'm a food service manager at a children's shelter and I bought some dried grasshoppers to show the older kids that many cultures eat insects. But then I decided against showing them because the next thing you know, a child would start eating bugs on the playground and say that I had given them permission to do so. So I just ate them myself. Love your videos!

It's true and some grasshoppers are poisonous. As a culture we have lost the knowledge and it's nice the see the internet be used for something good like reviving lost knowledge. People also eat bugs from places that aren't a pool of toxins like play grounds or cities or any place humans have touched in the last 50 years. You literally can't grow food in the ground where humans live or eat from water humans have lived near. And we call bugs gross???

Well they only eat cereals (grains), hence their name. But anything taste like what it eats or where it lives, snails (escargo) are grown eating vegetable mulch and such but before they're "harvested" they're put on a clean diet to clean up their flavor. A lot of fish who live on the bottom (bottom feeders) can taste like mud or sand, which can be overpowering. Some say that farm raised fish also taste less than the wild fish, which I agree with. Like the saying goes, "You are what you eat."

@gracthedestroyer9253 5 жыл бұрын

Neo If you have them on oats, they will basically only eat the oats. I prefer to have them on organic soil without fertilizer so they eat more fruit which makes them more nutritious. They will eat most anything you put in there, but really juicy things like oranges will mold quickly. Potato and carrot are very common. I don’t eat them myself so I can’t vouch for the taste difference, but I can only assume a mealworm that eats different things will taste different! Though, idk if it will taste like the fruit it eats lol

I think, in terms of the flavor profile, it'd likely create a similar result - I'm just not familiar enough with the chemistry behind baking to know how much of what can be replaced lol.

Thank you so much for this series! So informative, and I look forward to the rest of it. I'm actually a vegan, but perhaps a very strange one to a lot of people's minds; I think bug eating is a fantastic solution to the world's protein needs, due to the low environmental impact of their husbandry, the ease to which their care needs can be met, how easily they can be humanly killed, and the return rate of resources. So I'm incredibly happy to see someone like you providing people with so much information and encouraging so much open mindedness ^-^

Took an Entomology class back in college and our TA had us try baked mealworms in 2 flavors: zesty ranch and jalepeño cheese. Tasted like sunflower seeds!

This is great. I've had dehydrated mealworms before, it's not as 'bad' as others thought, but it's just not something I seek out to eat voluntarily. But your Bugmas edition sure helps with how to farm 'em and prep 'em. Love it. I can't wait for day 3, recipe time!

All the people crying about her eating a live bug dont understand that it does instantly and that eating bugs is 10x more helpful to the environment then people constantly killing PLANTS AND OTHER ANIMALS for food because these bugs (and more) constantly grow at alarmingly fast rates making them an easy and abundant food source with alot of protein. Literally everything you do thats not living in the forest naked is hurting the earth and the creature. And this is coming from someone who isn't vegan or crazy about the environment and recycles like every 2 weeks if there's a bin.

If you are from a Latin American background, sorry. Our ancestors DID eat insects. Main form of protein in their diet.

It's incredibly unlikely that someone, somewhere in your lineage never ate bugs on a regular basis. I think it's something around 80% of the world that currently practices entomophagy in some form. So, no, if you've got any fraction of that 80% in you (and I can just about guarantee that you do) your ancestors did, in fact, eat bugs. Us folks in the west are just big babies and decided it was icky.
