Insects on our plates in the Podcast
In the current episode, we are talking about the benefits for humans and the environment if more insects instead of meat end up on our plates.
What do grasshoppers, crickets and mealworms taste like? While some people can’t overcome their disgust, others enjoy eating these crawly creatures fried or as a chunky burger. In the ETH Podcast, we talk to ETH experts Christina Hartman, department of Environmental Systems Science and professor Alexander Mathys, department of Health Sciences and Technology about whether one can overcome disgust and what the benefits are if more insects instead of meat end up on our plates.

Thanks - no. If we start having grasshoppers, crickets and mealworms in our daily regime, I'd much rather become a full-time vegetarian or go and catch my own fresh fish. Sorry, no bugs and pests for me.
