To meet the growing need for food to support an increasing population, a country should make use of edible insects as a food source. However, some people believe that insects are not only unhealthy but harvesting them will also negatively affect nature. What are the benefits and drawbacks of eating insects?

In today's world, with an increasing population, some

countries

need to use

insects

for their

food

supplies to support their

people

, while some

people

believe using

insects

as

food

can have a negative impact on the environment not good for our health, which

this

essay discusses both positive and negative points. On the

one

hand, using

insects

as part of our routine foods can help lots of poor

countries

to help their residents from starving, because in some

countries

people

can not buy meat or chicken

as a result

of poverty.

Also

,

insects

are a huge resource of proteins which are really good for our body and can be used

instead

of other types of foods.

For example

, there are a lot of

countries

in Africa which have an amazing diversity of

insects

, which means,

people

in those areas should learn how to eat and put

insects

in their

food

chain.

On the other hand

, killing

insects

can damage the environment and the

food

cycle of nature, because each type of insect will kill the other

one

which makes the insect's population balance.

Secondly

, we do not sure if that insect is healthy and does not carry any dangerous viruses with it,

therefore

, eating

insects

can be a huge risk to our health.

For instance

, in Africa, there are some flies which carry abysmal sickness,

as a result

, if you eat

one

of those you have to go through several problems. To conclude, the world has to find a way to feed the growing population and

one

way can be by using

insects

which can help lots of

people

from starving and lack of protein,

however

, consuming

insects

can hurt our health and damage the eco-system.
