While catching up on another topic, I found a website (thanks Hypatia) that eventually lead me to some interesting articles:
The first is a Twitter video (with accompanying article) were mealworms were being tested in a primary school in the Netherlands.
The article in English:
Insect ice cream has been a thing. From CNN, journal research, and even YouTube videos (live bugs but the killing is not shown). There are reports of Swedish bug ice cream but I'm trying to find better sources, though there are bug-food startups.
Last but not least, it seems there may have been a pilot project in Wales for kids to eat ze bugs courtesy of the Daily Mail.
Feel free to post "Eat ze bugs" new articles.
Of course, this wouldn't be complete without a WEF White Paper on "alternative protein"
The first is a Twitter video (with accompanying article) were mealworms were being tested in a primary school in the Netherlands.
The article in English:
After a first hesitation, the students of primary school de Octopus in Zwolle carefully put them in their mouth: mealworms. And when the taste buds get started with the unknown food, some faces clear up: "it tastes like nuts," they say. The schoolchildren are exposed to a new dining experience today. Part of a teaching package on healthy and sustainable food. It is a proven means: behavioral changes via the ( still ) open-minded children. Because, if they appreciate it, it has a future.
Today there were not only mealworms on the menu at De Octopus. Group 7 students were also able to taste dishes made with lupine beans and other insects. It was all about the 'Entertainable Proteins Entertainment Mission', part of the Dutch Food Week campaign of farmers and horticulturalists. The curriculum has been developed with the cooperation of Wageningen University & Research ( WUR ).
Province distributes teaching packages
The province of Overijssel has made a hundred of these teaching packages available to a hundred primary schools spread throughout the region. Deputy Gert Harm ten Bolscher saw at De Octopus an opportunity to escape from the provincial house and taste the new food yourself:
