Camren Brantley-Rios, a student at Auburn, has just completed a 30-day diet of eating insects three times a day. His favorites were mealworms, waxworms and crickets. He has tried scrambled eggs with waxworms, bug-burgers with cheese and creole crickets. Conservation and sustainability were his goals as insects consume fewer resources than mammals to produce the same amount
of protein. He is not alone as more than two billion people
worldwide include insects in their regular diet, according to the UN
Food and Agriculture Organization.
He is particular. He always made sure the insects have been fed on an organic diet and only bought species he knows are safe to eat.
