- When you get to the scorpion, do you, you eat it?
- Yes!
Oh yeah, you've got this.
- Oh, I've got the head in my mouth.
Oh my God.
(laughing)
(whining)
(upbeat music)
- Hello.
- Hi! - Hi!
- Would you consider yourself an adventurous eater?
- Definitely. I try anything.
- You'll try anything?
- Anything!
- Without giving too much away,
I'm just gonna bring the first dish out.
- Oh my gosh.
- Worms! Ew!
- I see mealworms in it.
- Wax worms.
Wax worms are the babies of caterpillars.
- That's, oh, that's, that's sad.
- Have you ever eaten a bug?
- No!
- Ever?
- No!
- What?
- Today we are eating bug desserts.
- It's fine.
- It honestly, it smells like a normal cookie.
- I'm taking out all the bugs, so I just get a cookie.
- Mush it so I don't see you.
- Cheers.
(chewing)
- Oh, this tastes like a cookie.
- There's a whole movement to eat more bugs.
- It's better to eat bugs than animals because
to sort of, you know
breed them would probably take a lot less water and energy.
- Because you're not like processing in like a factory
and it wouldn't have to put bad chemicals in the air.
- You go outside what do you see?
- Bugs! - Bugs.
- Why don't just pick 'em up and eat 'em?
- No.
- Mm-mm.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
- But this cookie is good.
- No.
- Well, I just took out all of the worms.
- Oh my god that's their feet.
I've just seen the feet of the caterpillar.
- I hope there's no ice cream
with sprinkles and it has ants inside.
- Then it would just make me not want to
eat ice cream ever again.
- Noo. - Noo!
- There's more worms
in ice cream.
(crunching)
- Ooh, it's good.
- Oh, ooh.
The worms are like really powerful.
And then like the toffee is like crunchy, but then, ugh.
It's really lahh.
- Okay. Let's just take a little pinch.
It's like a lollipop.
- What kind of nutrition do you think bugs have?
- Protein.
- Are you gonna start replacing things in your diet
with bugs?
- But like the problem is where do you get bugs?
It's not like you can go
to your local grocery store and just get bugs.
- You can!
- Oh my God.
- What'd you put 'em on?
How would you prepare them?
- I know.
Put them in the toaster oven.
- Maybe I'd dip it in chocolate.
- Bake it (laughs).
- I'm gonna make a kabob.
- A kabob? What's that?
- Do you eat organic food.
- Mhm.
- Chances are, you've already been eating a lot of bugs.
- What?
- Yeah. There have been a couple of times where I've,
you know, there's been a lettuce
and you're open the lettuce then there's a beetle.
- And then you just dive right in.
- No, you do not. No.
- I'm scared.
- I'm wondering how much bugs are in my body?
- I don't like broccoli anymore.
(laughing)
- We're gonna take this away here in a minute.
(gasps)
Yeah. I'm telling you.
Get 'em while it's hot.
I mean cold.
- It's a golden beetle.
- Ooh! They are crickets.
- God, that actually looks really good.
- Oh, he fell off. Oh no.
Oh, oh!
- What?
- He fell out of his shell.
- Ooh.
- Big piece of chocolate
and hide the cricket.
Then eat.
I hate dark chocolate!
- Oh, I don't like dark chocolate.
- I'd rather eat the cricket than the chocolate.
It's good. It's strong in grasshopper.
- Oh, I've seen these before!
- That's so weird.
- I knew there was gonna be ants.
- I'll just take my favorite color.
- When you get to the scorpion, do you, you eat it?
- Yes!
- I gonna eat this one cuz it's the only one without legs.
- I call ants.
- I'm gonna eat the scorpion.
- I'm just taking licks.
- How many licks does it take to get to the center
of a cricket pop?
- One..
Two...
Three...
(crunching)
- You get a piece of it?
- Let's see... mhm!
- I've got the head in my mouth.
- Ah!
- I can feel. It's crunching like a cricket kind of.
- Ughhh...
- Where'd it go.
Oh there it is.
- I've got the whole thing in my mouth now (laughing).
Oh my God!
(whining)
(laughing)
It's like sausage.
- Oh I taste it!
Yeah, it kinda does taste like beef jerky.
- Other than lollipops and chocolate and toffee
what else do you think we could put insects in?
- Soup?
- Oooh.
- Well, I put in a bug that scares me
inside of a food that I don't like.
So I don't have to eat it.
- I'm never gonna be able to eat a lollipop again.
- Okay, great, let's take them away.
(laughing)
- What did we learn today?
- That bugs can be good.
- Really!?
- That bugs are actually food.
- Do you know about the Da Vinci?
- I do.
- It's a cool, educational and fun app
for kids and their family.
It's got lots of videos on sustainability and how
we can all do our part to look after the planet.
What are some things that you do
to help make the planet happy?
- I recycle. I compost.
- Da Vinci.
Oh. Oh, Science Max.
- Oh my God it's The Dengineers.
I haven't seen The Dengineers in ages.
- So, is Da Vinci app something that you're gonna
ask your parents to download when you get home?
- (gasps) Actually, yeah.
