Sinossi


Think I'll Go Eat a Worm is the reckoning of a farmer's daughter with the looming crisis of the 21 st century, which is how to stop the mercury from rising, ice caps from melting, pastures from swinging between droughts and floods, and insects from dying in catastrophic droves. It seems ironic that one solution to the alarming decline in butterflies, bumblebees, and other important pollinators would be to eat bugs, but research indicates that edible insects can make the agriculture industry more efficient and sustainable. Conscientiousness here, though, is never dull, since Wright depicts taste sensations that become available when we open our palates to honeyed crickets, cicada jambalaya, and grasshopper kabobs hot off the grill, their crunchiness a forgotten reminder that humans have long enjoyed such delicacies.
