Seriously, What The Fluck Yo

As taken from RedOrbit.com:

Insects, a popular delicacy in many parts of the world, are getting a culinary makeover in one Central American city, where scientists are ‘growing’ insects that will be tailored for human consumption.

The idea for a common sustainable diet in many African cultures caught the eye of entomologist Manuel Zumbado, who began researching insects as an alternative food source. With the rainforest in mind, Costa Rica has a countless supply of insect species, which may include thousands of species that have not yet been discovered. It is the perfect breeding ground.

Ants, beetles, butterflies, and other creepy-crawly bugs just might become the next big market in a country that is a popular hotbed for ecotourism. In Benin, many types of insects are a common part of people’s diet, explained Zumbado, who explored the phenomenon in the coastal country. Costa Rica and Benin share historical ties, as many slaves were taken from the western African country to Central America during the colonial era.
