As fellow animals, they have nervous systems that resemble ours in many ways. As inconvenient as this may be to some to learn, insects do feel pain, and do have personalities. The mealworm is the larval form of the darkling beetle. It will result in the suffering and death of trillions of individual animals (yes, insects are animals) it is counterproductive in terms of energy consumption and it is a huge waste of food that is fed to insects that could otherwise go to feed those in need directly.Ī mealworm is a caterpillar or maggot-like insect.
This is a regrettable decision in every sense. This is a first of its kind approval as up to now the EU has imposed a ban on the sale of insects-as-food in most of its countries. On January 13, 2021, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) approved mealworms as safe for human consumption.
