new United Nations report says that we should all eat insects. report is from U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. It is called "Edible Insects: Future Prospects for Food and Feed Security". U.N. says it is important we eat insects to help Earth. It gave three reasons why we should be adding insects to our diet. first is they are good for our health. "Insects are healthy, nutritious alternatives to mainstream staples such as chicken, pork, beef and even fish." second reason is they are better for environment than breeding cows, sheep, and other animals. Finally, "insect farming" would help millions of poor families around world eat and start small business.

However, most people in Western or "developed" countries think idea of eating insects is disgusting. The report says governments need to educate Westerners about benefits of eating bugs so they get over "disgust factor". Ento, company in London that sells insect-based food, said it is difficult to get people to eat creepy-crawlies. It told "New Scientist" magazine: "On paper, insects are fantastic, but on plate, most people won't touch them."
