“Cockroach Cake:” Food of the Future, or Forget About It?

“Cockroach Cake:” Food of the Future, or Forget About It?
by Scott Faith

But hey, it’s gluten-free!*

I’ve been in the Army over 20 years and I’ve lived in a lot of places across the globe.  I’ve eaten insects before, whether in training, on a dare, or in the streets of Seoul.  And although I know they’re considered a delicacy in some parts of the world, I’ve never eaten a cockroach before.  Until… now?

Sounds yummy!  Some thoughts:

Good Things About Eating Cockroach Cake:
-it only takes 75 days or so for the roaches to reach maturity
-they make themselves
-easy to breed, feed, and care for
-no one cares about cockroaches, so probably no PETA issues

Bad Things About Eating Cockroach Cake:
-you’re still eating cockroaches

*Actually, it’s not gluten free.  It’s 10% cooked cockroach and 90% other stuff.
