Beetles and flies are becoming part of the agricultural
food chain.

Some visionaries hope that insects will play a big
role in future human diets. Insects are nutritious,
being packed with protein. Unlike hot-blooded
mammals and birds, which use a lot of energy to
keep themselves warm, they are efficient
converters of food into body mass. And in some
parts of the world they are, indeed, eaten already.
Well, maybe. But it will take some serious marketing
to persuade consumers, in the West at least, that
fricasseed locusts or termite burgers are the yummy
must-haves of 21st-century cuisine.
