GEO 25 and Food 2

Eating insects could save our earth

Journalism Club 2 - GEO25

Most of westerners and developed countries think eating insects is very disgusting. Instead of eating insects, usually they eat meat, fish and eggs. The reasons for people eat meats are that they need some proteins for their body and it tastes good. 
But the problem is people eat tons of meats more than they need. So because of that, more and more people are bringing up animals so that people could get meats. It looks like there's nothing wrong.
You might think 'so what? Eating meat is good! It tastes awesome.'
However, raising animals causes lots of problems. The biggest problem is that animals eat a lot of plants and excretion.
Through that way, the environment is destroyed very fast. If we wouldn't solve this problem, the earth couldn't hold anymore.
At that time, we might not be able to live this beautiful, pure and healthy earth. So to save our earth, we can consider about eating insects for getting protein instead of eating meats.
People think insects are very dirty and gross. But the truth is some insects are much cleaner and includes many proteins than animal.
As well as raising insect is much easier and cleaner than raising animals and they don't destroy nature that much. Also if people start to eat insects more and more, insect’s market will revitalize. That means a new market and new jobs will be open.
Like these reasons, eating insects could save our earth and help keeping our healthy.
