Eating insects sounds disgusting – at least it used to for me. When I learned about all the health benefits to consuming insects and tried some food with crickets in it earlier in the year, I realized that eating food with insects wasn’t so bad! Check out my tweet from last semester here!
Many people find the mere idea of eating insects disgusting, but I think that, over time, if we start gradually integrating insects into everyday diet, it will become more “acceptable” in people’s minds. I believe that a diet focused more on insects would prove to be much more efficient, beneficial, and cost-effective. I know that it would be hard to accept for many people; I find it a bit hard myself, but by being more educated about the benefits and by trying out some food, my perspective has already changed!

Amanda, Not only do you present your thoughts clearly, but your post is very creative. It was a great idea to link to your tweet from last year. Then you direct the reader to Chapul on Twitter and include their video. This is a fabulous format for an engaging post! You have really developed your tech skills this year 🙂
