The world population growth is creating worries about
food
demand and offers in the future.
Therefore
one option has been found, and it is
insects
transformed into human
food
.
However
, there is some opposition about it and
this
essay will discuss some positive and negative effects of
this
new choice of
food
on human health. Specialists say that there is not enough land to plant and produce
food
for the
further
growing population. And so, other sources of
food
are being sought in order to fulfil the increasing demand tendency of
food
. One of them was found in
insects
, for the protein and nutrients biologists say they have, especially on their crater.
However
, there are some harmful reasons to discard
this
option as the only feeding backwards. Harms might concern not only with
insects
’ potential to spread out sickness as disease vectors but
also
with their impact on the natural feeding chain, as they have the duty to banish some parasites from the crops. As a balance, if plantations get hindered by parasites,
food
production would
overall
be prejudiced.
Therefore
, the drawbacks far overweight the benefits of eating
insects
.
Thus
, it just makes us think that each thing has its own place in the world, and definitely
insects
were not made to be on people’s dinner tables. In conclusion, the risk to health and nature by eating
insects
does not worth it as a
food
complement to the lack of
food
in the face of the increasing
food
demand now and in the future.
