The Bug Show

Published: May 6, 2015, 11:30 a.m.

How about a side of crickets with that burger?  Might sound uninviting here in the United States.  But, eating insects is common to cultures in many parts of the world. On this week's Cityscape we’ll delve deeper into the idea of insect-eating and its potential benefits for the planet.  Our guests include Lou Sorkin, an entomologist at the Museum of Natural History and David George Gordon, the author of the Eat-A-Bug Cookbook.  We'll also talk with a researcher who studied what ants are eating in the Big Apple, and found some of them have a penchant for junk food.
