Description: Why Not Eat Insects? 1973 4th Ed Vincent Holt Book Sustainable Food Protein Diet 6.75 x 4.25 inch softcover paperback, 99 pages. "Why Not Eat Insects?" by Vincent Holt is a pioneering book that explores the concept of entomophagy, or eating insects, as a sustainable food source. Originally published in 1885 (and reprinted in 1973), Holt’s book discusses the nutritional and ecological benefits of insects as food. His argument is based on the idea that insects are a readily available, protein-rich resource that could address food shortages and environmental issues associated with traditional livestock farming.Holt’s book was well ahead of its time, predicting the modern movement toward alternative protein sources. In this work, he discusses various edible insect species and suggests recipes, making it both a curiosity and a serious proposal for sustainable living.
