Persuasive Writing Eating Edible Insects

Eating Edible Insects

By:Soeun

I am learning to persuade my audience

Their face scrunches up and they say “eww” or “yuck” and the food gets thrown across the room in disgust. Yes, this is a normal reaction, but after you eat a bug you will be delighted by it’s flavor. Did you know that after people try a bug they mostly like them better than their normal meals like pork or lamb. In my opinion I think that everyone should try to cook with insects. They are tasty, high in protein, low in fat and are a creative idea to try.

Do not judge a bug by it’s look, judge it by its taste. In fact 98% of the people who tried bugs liked them. When we all have a look at an insect we don’t want that disgusting slimy flavor in our mouths but a bug won’t crawl once it’s blanched. So my challenge for you today is to try a bug. Why not try a scorpion lollipop, chocolate crickets or mealworm biscuits because they are definitely healthy plus they are easy to cook.

Wait a minute are bugs healthy? Yes of course they are! Bugs are high in protein, low in fat, have heaps of vitamins and minerals and they don’t have a lot of calories so you won’t put on weight. Bugs also have the same amount protein as an egg. The bugs that have the most nutrients are beetles, cockroaches and crickets. Are you scared that bugs produce greenhouse gasses? Well now your problem is solved because bugs do not produce greenhouse gasses like cattle do and you can eat them without having to say yuck because there are lots of creative ideas out there to try.

Donuts, cakes and cookies! What’s not to like? These foods are all full of flavor and everyone loves them but they aren’t healthy for you. So why not make this delicious junk food good for you by adding a bug. There are many ideas out there to try. Any yummy recipe can be turned into a healthy one and they still taste exactly the same as they did before.

In summary bugs are tasty but are also healthy so you do not get a guilty feeling about eating unhealthy. You must try new ideas for dinner so why not eat bug as part of your diet what’s wrong with trying a new exotic dish? Next time remember a bug a day keeps the doctor away.
