The U.N. has apparently discovered the key to ending world hunger: BUGS! Currently, the UN is promoting feeding people with various insects. This isn't entirely unusual as according to NPR 2 billion people on this planet enjoy eating the little critters on a regular basis. (FYI: the favorite eats among this 2 billion individuals include: wasps, locusts, caterpillars, beetles and crickets.) Plus, bugs are extremely eco-friendly and excellent sources of protein and nutrients (locusts produce about 8-20 milligrams of iron.) There are even insect-making kits to help keep the food supply going! Bugs were also used experimentally by a man in South Africa who won a prize for using them to feed chickens and salmon. Personally though, I think you'd only get me to eat bugs if I really were starving!
