Should we eat bugs?

Our food comes from the store, right? Not exactly. In this adventure we'll explore the origins of what we eat, and learn about the impact our diets have on the environment. We’ll also see the surprising role bugs play in our food systems. (They pollinate 1/3 of our food and educator Emma Bryce shows us they are actually pretty tasty and high in protein!) After the video, continue on to other sections to learn more, interact, act, and share.
