African Teachers

Right off the bat, I interviewed an African teacher!

Teacher1:Nigeria, male

He knows about insect eating and has eaten insects many times. He said he has no resistance to it because his friends around him also eat them.
In African countries, insect-eating is very popular and is recognized as one culture. The most impressive insect food is termites, he said. He also likes eels.
In Nigeria, entomophagy is popular and part of the culture.

Teacher2:Nigeria, female

Teacher3:Kenya, female

She knows about entomophagy but has never eaten insects because there is no culture of eating insects.
Only about 5% of the country as a whole eats insects, and more people are fish eaters than insect eaters.
On the other hand, in the western part of Kenya, people eat insects such as termites and grasshoppers.
Insects contain many nutrients and proteins such as minerals and vitamins and are sustainable and good for the environment.
To make such insect foods more popular in Japan, he said, insects should be processed into chocolate bars, powders, and other forms so that people can eat insects in such a way that their original form is not visible, so that insects, an important food for the future, can spread among the Japanese people. In this way, insects that will become an important food source in the future will spread among the Japanese people.

Teacher4:Benin, male

He is a big fan of insects and routinely eats crickets, termites, and grasshoppers. He especially likes edible maggots, a dried superfood. He says they taste spicy and very tasty.
Entomophagy is quite famous and popular in Benin because it is a traditional African and West Asian food culture.
Insects are highly nutritious and have a low environmental impact. Not only that, they are very tasty.
People in Africa eat insects in the same way that Japanese eat sushi and raw fish. So I would like Japanese people to try eating insects.
