Entomophagy

[citation needed] Entomophagy is scientifically described as widespread among non-human primates and common among many human communities.

[7] The eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults of certain insects have been eaten by humans from prehistoric times to the present day.

[9] Human insect-eating (anthropo-entomophagy) is common to cultures in most parts of the world, including Central and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

FAO suggests eating insects as a possible solution to environmental degradation caused by livestock production.

[19] A recent analysis of Google Trends data showed that people in Japan have become increasingly interested in entomophagy since 2013.
