More recently, The United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organization has come out with a booklet about worms that can become food. This is especially important as the demand for food is forecasted to grow by 60% by 2050.
Apparently, a study into this area showed that bugs have already been tapped as a potential source of food in rural areas. People did make a meal healthy meal out of worms like crickets and grasshoppers. Little wonder that in Thailand, cricket farming alone is a $30 million industry.
Indeed, opening a can of worms can now be a positive move!
