Even though insects are a delicacy in some parts of the world, to many people, the thought of eating them is downright disgusting.(5)In the Western countries, there is no culture of eating entire insects, then the idea is to use the protein in powder as an ingredient, so people might tend to receive better this protein, if they cannot see it.
     (6)A Mexican research said insects are a great source of heart healthy omega-3 bitty acids. Fish is also the main source of omega-3 oils. but environ mentalists say over-fishing is depleting the oceans.
    Backing up the increased reliance on insects is the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. In a 2013 report,(7)the UN agency endorsed the cultivation of bugs as a food source, saying it’s environmentally-friendly and could boost the world’s food production.
