we are far from 88 kg of meat and 37 kg of fish (plus dairy products, eggs, etc ...) consumed annually by each French. The consumption of insects can only exist at the margin and will never replace the consumption of bidoche and its negative ecological impact.Each Frenchman eats an average of 500 grams of insects per year
Eat insects! Let's be insectivores

Crickets, mealworms ...: are you ready to eat insects?
By Dominique Nora Nouvel Observer 04 Oct 2014
Young entrepreneurs want to convert us to this new source of protein, more economical for the planet. Even the biggest restaurants do it. And without knowing it, we are already eating it…
Are you hungry? Why not crunch a mealworm energy bar, swallow a few cricket crisps or enjoy a beetle larva cookie? No, this is not a provocation, but an idea that is increasingly in vogue among food futurologists and activists for sustainable agrifood development. On the American market, a good half-dozen start-ups - Chapul, Exo, Bitty Foods, Six Foods, All Things Bugs ... - are already marketing products capable of converting Western palates to entomophagy.
In France, the Toulouse-based Micronutris himself raises his crickets and mealworms, and sells sachets of appetizers, savory and sweet biscuits, as well as macaroons and insect chocolates (online store on the Mangeons des Insectes site). In the Netherlands, Sligro stores offer it in their meat department. A few restaurants have started doing it. In Nice, the Michelin-starred chef of L'Aphrodite offers "crickets of crickets". In Paris, Le Festin nu serves insect "tapas" (your choice of water scorpions, mealworms, silkworms, sago worms, crickets, grasshoppers or beetles).

Re: Eat insects! Let's be insectivore
Insects! Eat insects !? This is where sects lead
That's quite right. Taste pleasure is essential in conditioning the choices of a food reform, so I doubt that the idea of consuming insects will become a mass phenomenon in our countries.
... a "brake" or one "accelerator"It depends: eating insects in parts of Asia is quite common.

What is the risk of eating insects?
The World | 09.04.2015 By Audrey Garric
We know that insect-based food may well become generalized in the coming decades. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has declared itself in favor of the development of small-scale animal husbandry on a large scale in order to feed more than 9 billion human beings from here to 2030.

DRC: insect farming as a response to food insecurity
Ecofin Agency July 26, 2015
The fight against food insecurity in the Democratic Republic of Congo leads the country to embark on an innovative path. Indeed, the government has partnered with FAO to launch a program to develop entomophagy (the consumption of insects) in the country.
With a budget of $ 247 over two years, the initiative will train 000 edible insect breeders, including crickets, Cirina forda caterpillars, grasshoppers and locusts. It mainly targets the provinces of Kinshasa and that of Bandundu and should help fight against malnutrition which affects 200 million people in the country.
Explaining the relevance of this project, the FAO country representative in the DRC, Laurent Kikeba, told Radio Okapi: "According to studies, 70% of the population of the city of Kinshasa consumes insects which, on average, reach the protein level of 55%. In addition, insect farming pollutes less than cattle. ” He added that the project, which will start next October, would also allow the installation of a Center for the promotion of edible insect farming (CPEIC).
