DESCRIPTION: Consumer acceptance is the main barrier to the consumption of edible insects. Meat from wild animals may trigger less inflammation, see Modern Meat Not Ahead of the Game (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/modern-meat-not-ahead-of-the-game/) and since bugs aren't shot, see Filled Full of Lead (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/filled-full-of-lead/) they may be The Healthiest Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/good-grub-the-healthiest-meat/). Maggots may even be used to improve food safety, see Maggot Meat Spray (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/maggot-meat-spray/), as I mentioned in my full-length 2012 presentation Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/). I'm afraid, however, I would fall into the 83%.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/bug-appetit-barriers-to-entomophagy/ and he'll try to answer it!
