Two Brazilian researchers have created a special recipe to fight future food shortages in a more populous world: bread made out of cockroaches. The special bread, developed by two university students, is made from flour made partly from ground-up members of Nauphoeta cinerea, a cockroach specially bred to meet Brazilian government health standards. “We chose the cockroach because it was the insect that had the highest protein content—almost 70 percent,” the researchers said. They admit that most people now refuse to sample their bread, but add, “in the future, people will need to get used to this idea.”

I looked for an image, but it was too nauseating.
