Insect food #29

I recently learned that insects are already being used to make food. Since they contain chitin, which is a good source of protein. The production of food from insects will reduce the need to raise livestock for meat. An insect farm is easier to maintain and nutrients can be obtained faster. It also helps to reduce your carbon footprint. Chitin flour is already used in industry. Now there is information processing of people to prove that it is normal to eat insects.
