When is the last time you had a good Ant Brood Taco?
How 'bout a juicy Mealworm Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Makes your stomach just growl hearing about them...doesn't it?
At www.eatbug.com you can find the recipes to make these delectable treats, along with several other bug related recipes.
You see, bugs are good for you. For example, did you know that 100 grams of cricket, contains 12.9 grams of protein, around 75 mg. calcium and less than 6 grams of fat? I kid you not! Compare that to the same amount of ground beef that contains a little over 21 grams of fat, and double the calories. Are you now convinced, and are going totally buggy?
Ok, Ok, I don't eat bugs, I'll admit it. I don't think that I will be eating them, voluntarily in the future either. However, visiting www.eatbug.com was an experience to remember, and now I am chock full of bug knowledge.
At The Site
At this strange, but quite entertaining site, you will find tons of information about "Entomophagy," which is the other word for insect eating. Included are sections that will help you learn how to raise insects, recipes that have those tasty little bugs in them, and links to find books and other sites that will help you in your yummy quest. Also included at the site is a link that gives you a little info about the little gal who wrote this site.
About The Author
Ms. Price, the author of the site, is a mere 17 years of age. She boasts of eating bugs since she was 13 years old. She says she did it at first just to shock her parents. Then, it became a full blown hobby. She wasn't content with only eating bugs herself, but needed to share it with whoever she could; First her friends and family, and now the world!
I guess eating bugs isn't the worst hobby a teenager could pick, with all that goes on in this world today, but I would think that if I were her, I might have pick something like chocolate eating. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
At www.eatbug.com you will find out more about insects that you probably want to know. Just in case you decide to become a bugatarian, here are a few sites that will compliment your visit to Ms. Prices' site.

Boxing is like ballet, except there's no music/choreography, and the dancers hit each other.
