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?

To live a healthy life, food has a major role in human life. In some countries due to the surge in

I will discuss both the positive and negative points in my forthcoming essay.

Firstly

, some of the countries are not lucky enough to grow a variety of foods for their country. If the

population

is more than the production of crops, it is tough for the country to meet the demands of their

people

.

For instance

, China's biggest

population

depends on

insects

and

animals

. Though, few

insects

are high in protein they can be healthy for humans. One of the popular

insects

is the grasshopper which is increasingly eaten by

people

who has got less food in their area.

Thus

it gives benefit to combat Kwashiorkor disease which occurs in children due to their poor diet.

On the other hand

, other

animals

like bigger

insects

rely on small

insects

. In the environment hierarchy if the amount of

insects

becomes lesser

then

it will affect other

animals

as well.

Hence

it is not good for the environment as a particular species of insect when become plunged could affect the overall

population

of other

animals

as well.

Thus

balance should be necessary. To conclude, it is our responsibility how to make a balance between our own necessity and environmental situation.
