I am learning to persuade my audience using persuasive writing and emotive words. 

When I eat dinner I am not satisfied, but now I like eating bugs. When you first think of eating insects you mainly think yuck or ewwwww, but most people that try insects actually like them. Hundreds of thousands of people eat insects every day, and are an everyday meal. Insects are a healthy snack and they are a great source of energy. There are many insect recipes all around the world. Most people that eat bugs actually like them, now to see how to make these tasty treats.

We all have a time that we are craving a tasty treat, so it’s silly not to cook with insects. Everyone should at least try cooking with insects once or twice. They are extremely tasty and you can make quick and easy snacks. We all do enjoy a treat or two, so why not include an INSECT TODAY!? You can have scorpion lollipops, mealworm fries, chocolate covered crickets, these are all exciting snacks that are easy to make and are very tasty, so why don’t you go and look for some yummy insect treats? Now to see why these insects are so healthy.

What is high in protein and full of vitamins and minerals? If you guessed fish, meat, eggs, seeds you would be correct but did you also know that insects are a great source of protein and vitamins too? A bug a day keeps the doctor away! Beetles, cockroaches and crickets are the healthiest bugs you can eat! Any type of insect generally has the same amount of protein as an egg (which is 6 grams of protein). But the best thing is that they are lower in calories (fat) which means you can eat as much as you like without putting on to much weight. Bugs are a healthy, nutritious treat but if you are still feeling creeped out about them you can try creating amazing meals with those bugs, and they can taste just as good as a Freddo Frog!

Donuts, cakes and cookies, what do these foods have in common? They all taste delicious and are most people's favorite food. These yummy foods can be made better for you and can still taste as good by adding a nutritious bug to the dish. Foods like this have been made around the world with bugs in them, such as cricket cookies, spider donuts and grasshopper cake. They are so tasty that you do not even notice you are eating a bug so not only are you getting the tasty treat but it becomes guilt free since it has the added nutrients from the bug. There are millions of tasty recipes that can make any bug taste like a five star hotel meal. An insect can be as good as a Cookie Time Cookie, Dunkin Donuts and The Cheesecake Shop.

So after hearing the reasons why bugs are great to eat, do you think you should try an insect? As you now know they are tasty, healthy and you can make many recipes from around the world. So my challenge for you is to try a insect today! Go get them!
