One American company is trying to get us to eat bugs. Entom Foods aims to make Americans feel more comfortable eating bugs by removing elements that turn many people off — eyes, wings, legs, and crunchy exoskeletons. Eventually, the company hopes to produce processed bug-based foods, such as insect cutlets. Krisiloff hopes marketing the insects in a familiar form will remove the “ick” factor and encourage more people to add insects to their diets. The company plans to market insects like crickets, mealworms, and grasshoppers, which are already farmed commercially for use as animal feed.
