Insects are everywhere. Like it or not, they outnumber us by the billions. And it turns out that's a good thing when it comes to global food resources. Experts warn that animal agriculture isn't capable of keeping up with our planet's growing population. In the future, eating meat might be a luxury not everyone can afford. Enter: insects. Insects like crickets require far fewer resources to raise, and the resulting food source is surprisingly nutritious. Cringe all you want, but eighty percent of the world already imbibes bugs on a regular basis. Insects are instrumental to the future of food. Wouldn't you rather be a trendsetter than a late adaptor? Bugs, a documentary film directed by Andreas Johnsen, aims to educate viewers on the subject.
Bugs follows Denmark-based Nordic Food Lab as they embark on a global gastronomic adventure in search of edible insects. Denver cricket farmer Wendy Lu McGill, of Rocky Mountain Micro Ranch, is hosting the post-screening talkback and providing six-legged snacks.
Orange peel will be renegade promoting his upcoming insect-themed love song "Butterflies."
