I Tried Eating Bugs… Here's What I Learned

Season 7 Episode 27 | 14m 55sVideo has Audio Description, Closed Captions

People say insects are the food of the future.

People say insects are the food of the future. Can they really catch on in western diets? I’m a pretty adventurous eater, but I’ve never actually tried edible insects. So when I got invited to an edible insect Thanksgiving feast, I had to say yes. Along the way I learned that eating bugs isn’t really that new for humans, and that this really could be a delicious food we all eat in the near future.
