VIII. Read and answer
Almost all of us must have heard of or seen people in some cultures eating strange food and eating insects is an example.
Humans have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part of a person's regular
diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey animals. Therefore, it is no wonder that when
our ancient ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs wiggling on the ground, they made a quick snack of them. In Thailand,
insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that people snack on are crickets,
grasshoppers, giant water bugs, and assorted worms. They are often deep-fried and salted, so they have a crunchy texture
that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can get past the fact that you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth
just like a corn chip! For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see
insects as invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to eat. Therefore, being able to eat
insects without feeling disgusted is cultural. Some people cannot eat French cheese or stinky tofu because they weren't
brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall right into that category, making it difficult to even try them. If given the
chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you can get over the "yuck" factor.
