吃昆虫能拯救世界吗?吃油炸蝗虫、蚁卵沙拉或者烤狼蛛你会感觉怎么样?在这部纪录片中,你将看到主持人兼美食家的Stefan Gates把自己沉浸在无限制的吃昆虫世界里。他试图克服自己对昆虫挥之不去的厌恶感,探索它们能否真的拯救世界。地球上每个人拥有40吨昆虫,或许昆虫能够真正解决全球粮食危机——每天都有数十亿的人在挨饿。而肉类的巨大需求要消耗全球食物链中大量的粮食。Stefan的任务,在泰国和柬埔寨认识那些以捕获、吃和卖食用昆虫为生的人。从昆虫养殖场的可怕规模,到夜里出去围捕的蚂蚱,再到逮捕咬人凶狠的蚂蚁,这些他都还没准备好。不只是吃昆虫,Stefan将抓捕世界上最恐惧的蜘蛛——狼蛛。如果这是每个人的解决方案,包括英国,Stefan希望可以开始食用昆虫。
