Passage 1
Julieta Ramos-Elorduy, a researcher at a university in Mexico City, says that there are many good reasons to eat bugs. First, insects are a cheap food (except on a plate in an expensive restaurant), and they taste good. Second, bugs are good for our health. For example, they often have more protein than beef or fish. Third, they can bring money to poor people who find them in the forest and sell them. In parts of Africa, there are seven pounds of insects on just one tree. This brings a good profit for very little work. Finally, eating insects can help to save the environment. In many countries, people cut down trees.
