Bug Bites

Bug food is no longer a wacky conspiracy theory:

A research centre backed by the Government will work to get insects and other meat alternatives onto supermarket shelves and make them more palatable to the public. Innovation in meat alternatives has risen in recent years amid growing recognition of the environmental impact of animal agriculture, which accounts for around 80 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions from food production globally. Mince created from crickets harvested in Cambridge and pet food made of chicken cultivated from egg cells are two of the products recently launched by British-based companies which it is hoped will become more widely available. The National Alternative Protein Innovation Centre (NAPIC) will look at how to cut red tape and ensure food safety, while also exploring ways to sell meat alternatives to shoppers through focus groups and surveys.
