Would you like flies with that? – Dani Valent

Chatting edible insects on ABC TV’s News Breakfast

Dani Valent discusses edible insects on ABC TV, and brings in bug muffins for the hosts to try.

Every now and then I visit Michael and Virginia on ABC TV’s News Breakfast program to chat about a food topic. This time it was edible insects.

Insects are:

– high in protein, iron, calcium and good fats
– able to be farmed cheaply and sustainably without heaps of infrastructure
– crunchy!

Michael Rowland got a buzz out of my home-baked bug muffins but Virginia Trioli doesn’t think insect eating is going to fly so I just had to wing it. #punalert #ouch

Watch the video.

Had a few queries about the outfit: it’s from S.Wallis. Bugs are from Edible Bug Shop.
