How does a girl who eats only bugs and cockroaches live! Be careful, after that you will lose your appetite
Some believe that this is a mental disorder, while others support it.
Will you volunteer to eat a cockroach? It is unlikely — except that you will be offered several million rubles for this. And 30-year-old South African Joanne eats insects on her own, and every day.
Her menu includes cricket flour, cockroach cookies, silkworms in chocolate, insects in batter and other dishes.
Joanne does not hesitate to admit her penchant for entomophagy — the practice of eating insects.
The first time she tasted such unusual food was when her father brought back various delicacies from a trip to Asia. The girl dipped her finger into the cricket powder and tasted it.
She liked the nutty flavor. Further tastings were not long in coming. Father began to bring scorpions, bamboo worms, silkworms in chocolate. The girl’s obsession grew, and over time, Joanne’s parents got used to seeing dead insects in the refrigerator instead of regular food.
However, in addition to the taste, which she really likes, the girl also talks about the benefits of such nutrition. As Joanne explained, insects contain more protein than beef. At the same time, animals consume much more resources. But it is fashionable to think about ecology today!
In addition, according to Joan, insects take up less space and reproduce faster — this is a quick and affordable source of food.
Gradually, the girl entered the courage and was not content only with the consumption of insects. She decided to breed them. Joanne started her own company called Ensekta to produce edible insects.
Joanne’s garage has been turned into a warehouse for cockroaches and other creatures, where she euthanizes them in a freezer.
Joan does not have as many buyers as she would like. But this small business still makes a profit — the girl has more and more followers. However, the haters are also on the alert.
Many do not understand how you can eat crickets and cockroaches — nothing more disgusting can be imagined.
We hope that this trend will not reach us soon — or not at all.
