 plays a vital role in everybody's life. Some communities believe that due to the increasing population, a country should use
insects
 as a

 source while others argue with
this
 matter and say that there will be some negative effects consuming

then

 there is a pandemic situation around the world. To sum up, I think it is okay to consume

this
 process. It is healthy to consume some
insect

items
 which have high protein while some other
