Four primary schools in Wales plan to use insect protein to teach young people about the effects of food on the environment and how to find new ways to get a sustainable source of protein, according to The Sun.
It is planned to include the protein of crickets, grasshopper, silkworms, locusts and flour worms in the menu of young people.
The researchers hope to use all the data to find out how best to educate children about the benefits of using insect protein in their diet.
The study will feature children over the age of 11, led by Christopher Bar of Cardiff University.
He said: “We want children to think of alternative proteins as a topical issue now, not just a food for the future, so testing some of these foods is the basis of the study. Although edible insects are not widely sold in the UK at the moment, they are part of It feeds around 2 billion people worldwide. There are countries in the world where eating insects is part of a long-standing culinary tradition. “
Only one of the schools involved has been identified, the Roch Community Primary School in Pembrokeshire.
Teacher Karl Evans said the problem was “important”, but it was “difficult” for young people to understand.
The study has raised doubts about social networks.
One social media user said such experiments should be carried out on “prisoners first before children”, while another said they were “vegetarians rather than insectivores”.
One Twitter user commented that “we will all have to start eating them” due to population growth.
