As the population is increasing, the country should start using insects as alternative of foods, to overcome the problem which is rising due to high demand of food. It is often believed that the consumption of insects is not only unhealthy but also it will make negative impact on nature. Eating insects will somewhat solve the shortage problem of food but the reaction of including insects in the diet will lead them to disaster of, not only heath but also nature.

One of the benefit of having insects as meal is that, it will save the people to die because of starvation and hunger which is widely common in developing countries, for instance, countries in the African continent. Another advantage of opting for insect products is that, some of the insects have rich amount of nutrition which is required by human body. This is the reason, insects play a major role in manufacturing medicines.

While looking at the advantages of consuming insects, we can not ignore the disadvantages, of which some of them may lead people to death. To illustrate, most of the insects carry poision within or outside of their bodies, if we will, somehow, by mistake eat them, the chances of living alive will be reduced, in some case death is guaranteed.

Insects play a major role for nature, each insect has its own way to serve the nature, to give a clear example, flies are responsible for growing plants and trees, and without these, the nature will be effected nagatively.

To conclude, although there are some positive points but negative points will leave more impact. The United Nations, along with all countries should initiate research to find better alternate of foods and comeover the scarcity of foods, specially in developing countries.
