Ah! The season of the “Q”. This is the time of year that we’ve been waiting for here in most parts of Canada. Burgers, hotdogs, versht, chicken, chops…I could go on and on.
We salivate thinking of it.
But at what cost? And I’m not just talking about the bills you’re taking out of your wallet.
I’m talking about the costs affiliated with producing that meat, that protein, that gets slathered with barbecue sauce, left to marinate for hours on end, and seared or slow-cooked on your outdoor grill.
Have you actually thought about it? Well I’m going to tell you. Actually, I’m going to show you. (click on the infographic to zoom in)
The Benefits of raising insects for food:

I’m in! Can you say Diana??
All sounds very new and interesting, a revolutionary new way of feeding the world. Something to try out, for sure……….
Very interesting perspective, never looked at my meat consumption in terms of how much water it takes. I’ve always know about the land and greenhouse gasses, but never thought of it in terms of water consumption. Thanks Next Millennium Farms for the insight…
I’ve tried roasting both meal worms and crickets on my bbq and both were delicious.
