Eating Edible Insects

I am learning to persuade my audience using persuasive writing and emotive words.

Let me set the scene. It’s a regular Tuesday night, the whole family is sitting around the table. You look at your plate, AND FOR THE 22ND TIME THIS MONTH YOUR FAMILY IS EATING MEATBALLS! It seems that you have lost ideas for your cooking, am I right? Well, I think I have a solution for You! Yes you! With the red striped shirt yes! Have you ever thought of eating bugs? I believe that everyone should try that every now and then! Wait, don’t click off just yet! Did you know that 98% of people that TRIED bugs actually liked them? Surprised? From tasty treats, to nutrition, to efficiency and SAVING THE PLANET! I will be telling you reasons why you should start eating bugs.




Lesson one, Do NOT judge a bug by its cover, just because for your whole entire life you’ve despised them as some sort of “mischievous” creature that only serves as an annoyance, doesn’t mean that all of a sudden they’re not edible! Did you know that there are many delicious recipes around the world on cooking bugs? Yes, eating bugs is 100% a thing. It’s called Entomophagy. From Mealworm fries, to chocolate covered crickets and they are all delicious, other HUMAN BEINGS are eating them on a daily basis, so why not join in? I still don’t think you are brave enough to convince your family to be eating worms every night, I still think you would stick to meatballs, BUT. What if I tell you that bugs are delicious…

And healthy?!




That’s right! Bugs actually have the same amount of protein as an egg, or a chicken! Cockroaches and crickets are one of the healthiest bugs you can eat and beetles are the most frequent. The good thing is that bugs create a lot less greenhouse gases as a cow, and needs a lot less land to raise. Healthy and full of protein, and SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT? Have I convinced you yet? I mean, it would still make sense if the thought of eating a bug is still stirring your stomach. But remember, that there are many recipes around the world, that make bugs taste like your takeaway french fries you have every Sunday!




There are truckloads of delicious insect recipes from all around the world so you won’t get tired with the same old recipe every night! From ginger cricket cookies, carrot buffalo worm soup, to mealworm fries and caramel cricket cheesecake! Lets pause real quick, Have you realised something? They are all regular foods, but their names have an insect in them? Yes, that is what you would expect when eating bugs. they sound nice, right? And according to 80% of the people who tried it, they TASTE amazing as well. Is your stomach still stirring? Or is it grumbling for less meatballs!


As you can see, there are many reasons why you should eat bugs! From tasty treats and recipes, to protein and healthiness, to saving the environment! Now you can see why I STRONGLY recommend, cooking with insects.
