Eat the Beetles! is an accessible and humorous exploration of entomophagy, weaving cultural, ecological, and evolutionary narratives to provide a comprehensive look at our conflicted relationship with insects.

From upscale restaurants to backyard cricket farming, David Waltner-Toews examines the complex history and future of eating insects as a sustainable food source. With a quirky sense of humour, he navigates the science and math behind entomophagy, offering a thought-provoking analysis that walks the line between skepticism and optimism.
