Tag: Meat vs bugs

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, insects are highly efficient at converting feed into protein, with crickets being twice as efficient as chickens and five times more efficient than beef cattle. But does this efficiency mean bugs have more protein than meat when it comes to your plate?

According to the UN, over two billion people worldwide already consume insects as part of their traditional diets. Amid growing concerns over the environmental impact of traditional livestock, many wonder: are bugs high in protein than meat, and how do they stack up nutritionally?
