Dutch scientist Arnold van Huis has advocated bugs as a healthy, green alternative food, saying it's time to break old eating habits, BBC reports.

Insect dishes could be the answer to the global food crisis, shrinking land and water resources and climate-changing carbon emissions, he argued. Insects are a long-established food in some parts of the world such as Mexico and Thailand.

Van Huis said the problem for adults is psychological and "only tasting and experience can make them change their minds." （点击BBC网站查看原文）

食用虫子拯救地球

       据英国广播公司报道，荷兰科学家阿诺·范豪斯近日推荐食用小虫，因它们健康、绿色，可以作为我们平日食物的替代品。他表示，现在是改变饮食习惯的时候了。

       范豪斯说食用昆虫能够解决全球食物危机、土地和水资源减少、以及导致气候变化的碳排放问题。食用昆虫在墨西哥、泰国等地方早已成为习惯。

       范豪斯说，成年人对吃昆虫有心理障碍，“品尝并且吃习惯了，他们的想法会改变的。”
