We agree that, at this point in time, we would not personally choose to eat insects. We also don't think anyone should be forced to eat them, and that some sort of a gradual change would be the most beneficial way of moving people towards a change in their diets. We also agree that eating insects could have a positive environmental impact, and that it is also a healthy and nutritious option for people, even though we would not be personally choosing to eat them ourselves. Plant-based protein is another good alternative to meat. # ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - There are a number of different opinions in the group on the topic of eating insects.
