Default "Why not eat insects?" - was Which tree and where?


"Yet in the country the poorer labourers and their families go on week
after week, attempting to keep body and soul together with nothing but
bread, varied, if possible, by the addition of a taste of bacon, while
hundreds of nutritious and wholesome snails and slugs swarm at night
upon the little cottage garden. Why this wanton and reckless waste of
food? Prejudice, foolish prejudice! Half the poor of England would
actually die of starvation before stretching out their hands to gather
the plentiful molluscus food which their neighbours in France delight
in."

I don't think I need to say anything more ......


Absolutely.
