As more and more people question our meat consumption and alternative diets are on the rise, consuming insects as an alternative protein source has become a part of the conversation about sustainable foods in western countries. The attitudes towards the topic are mixed due to insects being a rare food in western countries but in countries such as Sweden the attitudes towards eating insects are often negative. People often reject the idea of eating insects because they simply don’t see them as edible, but why are insects not edible when other animals such as cows are a typical food? This project aims to discover what moral differences there are between different animals and how these differences affect what meat we can or can’t eat and how we view insects as food.
