AT FIRST glance, Singapore’s decision to allow insects to be used for food would seem to have little to no impact on those in the “never” camp (me included).
However, having a set of regulations is actually a plus for society, not just in terms of defining the operating perimeters for businesses, but also the thought experiment it would likely force on its denizens; but more on that later.
It is easy to see the benefits of adding insects as a food source, when one considers the looming climate crisis and ecological disaster.
