Discussion points (choose any two):
1. The author mentions that the Western culture has an aversion towards insects and insects as a food source. Why do you think this is?
2. Have you eaten insects? Would you be willing to consider them a food source? Why or why not?
3. The author references a tribe that used beetles to harvest a poison to put on hunting arrows. Can you think of how we, one Western culture, rely on insects for other purposes besides silk production and honey?
4. In some cultures eating insects may be considered ‘uncivilized’. Can this attitude be overcome?
5. Do you think insects will be a solution to local or world hunger issues? Why or why not?
