Bug meat: Tastes like chicken?
All right, so it doesn’t taste like chicken, though most have chowed down on their fair share of the insect kingdom, thanks to the processed food industry. Creating a market for this greener meat source has actually become the mission of several Dutch companies who are on a critter crusade of sorts.
Over the past two years, three Dutch insect-raising companies, which normally produce feed for animals in zoos, have set up special production lines to raise locusts and mealworms for human consumption. Now those insects are sold, freeze-dried, in two dozen retail food outlets that cater to restaurants.
You can bet the fat content will be low, though it remains to be seen whether these products will fly or crawl off the shelves.
