New York City-based chef Joseph Yoon started cooking insects four years ago for an art project. He now wants to change our perceptions of creepy crawlies so that we can have “delicious,” “nutrient-dense,” and “sustainable” insect diets. “I absolutely love insects,” says Yoon, who is the executive director of Brooklyn Bugs, an organization that promotes edible insects. An edible insect farm, Next Millennium Farms, opened in Canada in 2014. Incorporating edible insects into your diet once a week can make a big difference.”
