The Lepsis Is a Terrarium For Growing Edible Insects At Home

Posted by timothy on from the plus-you-can-floss-with-the-legs dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A recent UN report suggested that people should be eating more insects, because they're much less harmful to the environment that traditional meat. In response, designer Mansour Ourasanah has created the Lepsis, a small insect breeder that could be used to grow and harvest grasshoppers in urban homes."

    most bugs dont contain anything more than protein and a bit of fat,

    Neither do most animals. If you want vitamins, that's what vegetables are for.

    I am something of a "character" I guess. I'll eat anything on the menu. During AIT we also ate insects. I mention that because I want to tell you that I have eaten insects and, frankly, they're not that good. The only "good" one I have found was the chocolate covered ant, because I couldn't taste the ant.
