I find this hard to swallow
Quote:
South American ants are huge. Trust me, I’m about to eat one. Until I notice that their eyes are the size of currants and I lose my appetite.
It’s amazing I even got that close — just last week I felt such antipathy towards red ants that I poured boiling water on to a nest by my front door. And yet here I am, confronted with a plate of their giant relatives in the name of sustainable living. Sometimes it’s not easy being green.
But then, if the United Nations gets its way, we might all soon be adding creepy-crawlies to our weekly shopping lists. The UN is considering strategies to cut levels of meat consumption worldwide as part of its commitment to stamp out famine and cut global warming.
