Calorie counting has long been touted as an effective tool for
losing pounds or maintaining a healthy weight. But new research
published in the British Medical Journal shows many of us are
underestimating the calories we're eating, especially when we
visit fast food restaurants. According to a recent U.N. report,
insects could be a solution to some of the world's food and
health problems. They're nutritious, eco-friendly and abundant.
Many countries already consider them a staple part of their
diets. Asked which school meals were their favorites, students
at a public school in the New York borough of Queens don't say
chicken fingers or meatballs. Instead, they name rice and kidney
beans, black bean quesadillas or tofu with Chinese noodles.
