Re: A plague of flies

This lot in Ossy are only kicking up a fuss to hide the fact they're eating the flies.

Have a read at this from the Beeb: BBC News - Future foods: What will we be eating in 20 years' time?

Insects

Insects, or mini-livestock as they could become known, will become a staple of our diet, says Gaye.

It's a win-win situation. Insects provide as much nutritional value as ordinary meat and are a great source of protein, according to researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands. They also cost less to raise than cattle, consume less water and do not have much of a carbon footprint. Plus, there are an estimated 1,400 species that are edible to man.
