Aaron Pomerantz, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, recently attended a symposium on entomophagy — the eating of insects — at the 2016 International Congress of Entomology.

In the following video, we see the reactions of people eating various types of insects, and watch as Aaron and his friend Amanda talk to the founder of Little Herds, a company that raises insects for food and feed. Aaron also talks to Florence Dunkel, the organizer of a symposium called “Industrialization of Insects as a Food Ingredient.”
