Eating Insects: An Interview with Award-Winning Scholar, The Ohio State University Professor, and Cultural Anthropologist, Jeffrey Cohen

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, will be interviewing Distinguished Professor and Cultural Anthropologist at The Ohio State University, Jeffrey Cohen. Simon and Jeffrey will talk about insects and how they might become a useful source of protein for some countries. Of the 8 billion people on earth, almost 2 billion of them have some form of insects in their diet. Indeed, they eat almost 2000 types of insects. Insects are filled with protein, micronutrients and energy.

    They will also discuss how some of these insects are a delight and have all these elements of energy and proteins. They will also talk about the history of insect eating in some nations, and contrasting those with nations that did not have the same history of insect eating. They will also chat about whether the “yuk” factor can be overcome in those nations that have kept away from including insects in their diet. It’s a fascinating conversation that you do not want to miss.
