Entomophagy app for iPhone and iPad

Edible Insects.

There is only one reason we don’t eat bugs.

They’re Gross – the first word many people say when eating insects is suggested. However, with crickets having as much protein as beef yet using less than 1% of the water to produce, it becomes a conversation. The world is changing and today’s problems demand creative solutions. Eating insects solves a number of problems.

Insects are high in protein, vitamins and minerals. They use significantly less resources to produce. They can be produced in high volume anywhere in the world with low-tech equipment. Why are edible insects not the new Super-Food? Because, they’re gross.

People, in general, do not like eating insects. This is not true in all parts of the world. But, it is especially true in the United States. While our southern neighbor, Mexico, enjoys a good Chapuline (spicy grasshopper) or Chicatanas (ants), we’d never think about it.

That’s what this app is about. Changing your mind and getting more and more people eating insects.
