Contents

Plot

The film explores the problem of meat consumption by humans and suggests that the increasing demand of meat in the world could lead to a catastrophe.

Entomophagy section

  • Entomologist Séverin Tchibozo suggests the larvae of the rhinoceros beetle contain much protein (40%), more than chicken (20%) and beef (approximately 18%) and that larvae could become a protein source for a large [human] population.
  • Professor Arnold van Huis at Wageningen University in Netherlands says that locust can produce 1 kg protein from 2 kg fodder compared to a cow needing 10 kg fodder to produce the same amount protein. Other benefits are that locust does not produce greenhouse gases and does not need antibiotics.
  • Marian Peters of Bugs Organic Food talks of people's attitudes towards eating insects and suggests separating mealworms from their exoskeleton and repackaging them in the same manner as Surimi.
