30 Days Of Meetup - Day 16

The Triangle Environmental Network
Entomophagy and the Environment
(http://environment.meetup.com/246/calendar/8691674/)

Join us as we explore the natural areas in the Triangle, work to conserve our local resources, and look at alternative energy issues and solutions. Meet with like-minded individuals to take action that makes a difference in our local community.

The Science Café will be held on September 16th at the Irregardless Café, Raleigh. This should be a fun and interesting café - we will be discussing entomophagy (the eating of insects for food) and how using insects as a source of protein may be beneficial to the environment.

Entomophagy, or the practice of eating insects for food, is a topic that is objectionable to many. Still, eating our six-legged friends may be a viable way to feed hundreds of millions of people while at the same time lowering humanity's impact on the environment. Join us to learn about arthropods as food -- and if you want, even sample a few on your own!
