The United Nations is asking people around the world to add a new food to their diet that might just save the planet—insects.

The U.N. says in a report that adding insects to our diet can help decrease livestock pollution, create jobs in countries that are developing, feed million of people who suffer from starvation, and allow the amount of greenhouse gas emissions to drop, according to DailyCaller.com.

“Insects as food and feed emerge as an especially relevant issue in the twenty-first century due to the rising cost of animal protein, food and feed insecurity, environmental pressures, population growth and increasing demand for protein among the middle classes,” reads the report. “Thus, alternative solutions to conventional livestock and feed sources urgently need to be found. The consumption of insects, or entomophagy, therefore contributes positively to the environment and to health and livelihoods.”

The top reason why the developed world doesn’t eat insects is—with absolutely no surprise—“consumer disgust.” Yet 2 billion people in the world enjoy the little creatures in their meals.

Nevertheless it doesn’t seem like anyone in the U.S. will be rushing out to their backyards to gather ingredients for tonight’s dinner.

“If the UN and FAO wish this recommendation to be taken seriously, the organizations should lead by example and serve insects at all official meals,” said International Regulatory Affairs fellow at the Heritage Foundation Brett Schaefer. “Until that time, it seems likely that this report will be ignored like many other U.N. studies.”

The U.N. adds that insects are good for you. The report cites the protein, fat and minerals that insects carry. Also they can produce these nutrients faster than other food sources. For example, Crickets take 12 times less feed to produce an equivalent amount of protein than cattle.
