Eating more insects could help fight world hunger, according to a new UN report. The report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization says that eating insects could help boost nutrition and reduce pollution. It notes than over 2 billion people worldwide already supplement their diet with insects. However it admits that "consumer disgust" remains a large barrier in many Western countries. The report suggests that the food industry could help in "raising thestatus of insects" by including them in new recipes and adding them torestaurant menus. It goes on to note that in some places, certain insects are considered delicacies. For example some caterpillars in southern Africa are seen as luxuries and command high prices. Most edible insects are gathered in forests and serve niche markets, the report states.

Fight all the worlds problems: dissolve the United Nations and dismantle the damned World Bank.
Begin by withdrawing the USA from these organizations and demand they both leave this country!

My dog preferred cicadas to dog food. Not sure if the cicadas are good of if the dog food is bad.

In first world Japan, rice locust in a soy sauce marinate are considered a delicacy. I've tried them and find them rather tasty.
Quite rich in protein too!

I suggest that they teach by example by changing the menu accordingly for the next UN headquarters banquet.
