South Korean scientists say mealworms could fight world hunger and mimic meat 🍔, but Chef Janine calls this a perversion, not progress. Despite Belgium's wormburgers and eco-push, most nations reject bugs-as-food. With birth rates falling and agriculture thriving, Janine argues real, natural food can feed the world — no insects needed 🌾🥩. Say no to worms, yes to tradition.

Many everyday foods contain trace amounts of insect-derived ingredients or bug fragments. Additives like carmine (from crushed beetles) and shellac (from lac bugs) are used for coloring and glazing. Even honey, beeswax, and royal jelly come from insects. The FDA allows a certain level of insect fragments in food, as total removal is nearly impossible. On average, Americans unknowingly consume 1–2 pounds of bugs per year through common foods.

Insects like crickets, mealworms, and maggots are gaining attention as sustainable protein sources. While not vegetarian, they require less land and emit fewer emissions than livestock. Mealworms are nutrient-rich and clean, crickets are protein-packed, and maggots blend easily into foods. Bug-based burgers may be the future—would you try one?
