I Tried Eating Bugs… Here's What I Learned

Season 7 Episode 27 | 14m 55s | CC

So when I got invited to an edible insect Thanksgiving feast, I had to say yes. Along the way I learned that eating bugs isn’t really that new for humans, and that this really could be a delicious food we all eat in the near future.
