Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerousA diet based on worms, larvae and crickets. Does the idea just make you shiver? Instead it is precisely the one that followed an American student for 30 days, recounting the experience on the blog 30 Days of Bugs.
Throughout February Camren Brantley-Rios ate meals with insects three times a day, to testify that it is a viable alternative to meat, far more unsustainable. The insects, in fact, they have a high content of proteins and calories, but consume fewer resources for their breeding, as it is easy to imagine.
How did it go? Very good, ensures the boy, especially once the initial skepticism has been overcome. Sure, there have been some very bad cooking experiments, like the time he tried to cook the silkworm: bad aftertaste and unpleasant smell, explains. Other recipes fared better, such as Beatles, cleaned of legs and wings and stir-fried with various aromatic herbs, mushrooms and onions.
Unbelievable, but Camren loves hers now insect-based diet. And he even managed to get his mother to join him for some meals. Jason Dombroskie, head of the insect collection at Cornell University, said projects like 30 Days of Bugs can encourage more people to try the insects in meals.
