To meet the growing needs of food for the increasing population, country should make use of edible insects as foods. However, some people believe that insects are not only unhealthy but affect negatively the nature too. What are the benefits and drawbacks of eating insects?

Nowadays, the population is rising significantly, which requires a high intake of

food

. In order to meet

this

demand, the country should allow edible insect

recipes

as part of the

food

.

On the other hand

, few individuals argue that eating

insects

is not healthy.

Moreover

, it

also

affects ​human behaviour.

This

essay will articulate, some pros and cons of consuming

insects

with relevant examples. The

first

advantage of including

insects

in

food

could be the increase in

food

diversity, where one can find relatively more variety of

recipes

that includes

insects

in addition

to regular

recipes

. Some

people

have liked to taste district

food

.

For instance

, In china, there is a

food

street with several restaurants that do live cooking, which consists of various

insects

and reptiles.

People

can choose the

insects

and taste the recipe made of their choice. The

second

advantage could be restaurants can make a lot of money by including

insects

cuisines, attracting more customers, and serving starters, and salads that contain

insects

.

For example

, many street

food

shops in Thailand and China that serve salads, breakfast with

insects

and other

food

items are expanding their business because the number of customers is increasing on daily basis.

Conversely

, there are some negative effects of including

insects

food

. Risking human life could be one of the drawbacks, in which case,

people

can die if the

insects

are poisonous or if proper measures are not taken to clean the

insects

before preparing the

food

. One

such

example was recently seen in a Thai restaurant that served insect pickel, and all the family members had to rush to the hospital as it was a case of

food

poison.

Secondly

, consuming some uncommon

food

such

as

insects

could

also

change the human instinct,

people

can develop unusual personality personalities. Studies show that intake of

food

does impact the way humans think and behave. In conclusion,

food

demand is growing because of the population increase and countries are including

recipes

of edible

insects

, but we cannot ignore the thought of a few

people

who think that

food

containing

insects

can lead to health issues and change human nature.
