Stalker was intrigued by the latest food thinking form a UN expert which says humans should get protein from insects instead of cattle.
Serge Verniau , the Laos representative to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) wants the world to ditch steaks and burgers in favour of creepy crawlies.
Stalker is reminded that the exoskeleton of the insect is the same as the protein/ polysaccharide that makes up the cell walls of the mushroom – chitin.
One would prefer mushrooms over locusts any day of the week. Locust risotto doesn’t have the same ring to it.
