If David Suzuki says it’s a good idea, it’s probably a good idea…
To reduce our environmental footprint, not everyone needs to incorporate these crisp, delicious arthropods into their diet. Changing the diet of farmed animals could also help. People who may not want to ingest insects themselves would likely have little problem feeding their pets insect-containing kibble or eating farmed animals like chickens raised on insect-based feeds. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has already licensed fly larvae to feed farmed salmon and chickens. (Full disclosure: my suggestion to use insects to feed carnivores like salmon inspired a company in which I have invested that harvests insects grown on food waste.)
