About Me
I first heard about the food industry in high school chemistry class. My teacher passed out a pamphlet about a food science from the University of Delaware. Science, problem solving… and you get to taste food on the job! I decided that day to embark on a career in the food industry.
After receiving a food science degree from Rutgers, I set out learn as much about the food industry as possible. What I found is that our food system is hard on the environment, exploits animals, and the lacks nutrition.
My light bulb moment was while watching Survivor. In a classic food eating immunity challenge, contestants needed to eat 40 meal worms to move on. The host says that meal worms are eaten all of the time by the locals. At the time, availability of edible insects was very limited.

The Future Of Edible Insects 
Love this. Where can I buy them? I have a 6 year old boy who would love eating bugs.
I wish that was an easier question to answer. My blog is exploring the supply side of the edible insect industry and right now there are not a lot of options. A good resource is http://www.girlmeetsbug.com/ … she has a ‘where to get bugs’ link.
