Cook scorpion

A great way to save the planet may be to stop eating beef and munch on crickets instead. They say it's very like a small lobster.

What? Good for the environment? How could you possibly come to that conclusion?

as an alternative to eating larger animals / protein sources. they're readily available. easy to farm and don't pollute with methane like cows.

great footage here. when you see it fried it doesn't looked so bad. It's always creeped me how similar lobsters, crabs and scorpions look. Clearly there's some relationship-- almost an impossible coincidence. That said, i'd pretty much eat anything. This WonderDudeMike character is a real sally.

Woah! I never knew Scorpions glow in the dark. Makes it rather easy for their predators, don't you think?

The practice of eating insects is called entomophagy
Most insects are edible. According to eatbug.com, there are 1,462 recorded species of edible insects. And they're quite nutritious. For instance, 100 grams of cricket contains only 121 calories, less than half of beef. A cricket contains only 5,5 grams of fat, compared to 21,2g of beef. Beef contains more protein (23,5g - a cricket 12.9g) but the 100g of cricket also contains 5,1g of carbohydrates, 75,8 mg calcium, 185,3 mg phosphorous, 9,5 mg iron, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin.

A tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion will make it instantly go mad and sting itself to death.
