What Do You Think of Eating Flies as Protein ?

At first you might think about eating flies or their larvae as the most disgusting thing you can think of

But did you know in Africa there are a lot of recipes that contain flies , to quote

''Kunga cake or kungu is a food dish made of densely compressed midges or flies. It is found in the African Great Lakes region, specifically countries surrounding Lake Malawi (Tanzania, Malawi, and Mozambique).''

With food shortages worldwide countries are looking at alternatives to meat and fish and looking to insect protein as a source of food in the future

In the UK we import soy beans as a food for livestock mainly from Brasil, but because of the cost etc scientists are looking for an alternative

There is a research company doing this in the |UK and i have attached a very interesting video showing them breeding the common house fly and extracting the protein for livestock feed , it is even edible for humans

So in the future who knows, instead of complaining to the waiter, 'Hey, there is a fly in my soup' , you might be complaining there are not enough
