Charlies Bug Persuasive Writing

This activity was about persuasive text. We have to write our point of view here is mine. This piece was about if we should or should not eat bugs in our diet.   point of view - I think we should eat bugs

You might look at bugs and scream, especially if you see one in your food, but actually around 2 billion people eat bugs. Mostly people from poor countries, and some cultures eat bugs for all meals! I Think that eating bugs is a good idea because it is way healthier than livestock, it is really cheap to farm or even free, and it causes less greenhouse gases than farming meat!

Firstly farming bugs is very cheap because it take 22000 Liters of water to farm 1 kilogram of Beef ,  3500  Liters of water to farm 1 kilogram of pork, 2300 liters of water to farm 1 kilogram g of chicken and It takes 1 liter of water to farm 1 kilogram of cricket. Secondly Bugs are a lot more edible then chicken of beef. You can eat 80% of a bugs while you can eat 50% of a chicken and 40% of cow, and guess what it takes 200 square meters to grow 1 pound of beef and it only takes 15 square meters to grow 1 pound of cricket.

Now if you compare 100g of cricket compared to 100gs of meat     you might  find that they have almost the exact amount of protein in each of them . Also crickets contains a lot of vitamins and minerals like calcium,  zinc and iron        

Also similar the ,mealworm contains mostly fibre as well.

Cricket is and lots of other bugs are also good to eat because of the greenhouse gases. When farming cows there are lots of greenhouse gases.greenhouse gases are caused when the cows fart. Also bugs don’t fart or maybe only a little bit .

Maya's bug essay

INTRODUCTION w POV, and list your main idea

We should eat bugs because

Reason 1:bugs are easy to take care of

Reason 2:they are very healthy for you

Reason 3:Bugs in the future may be the only food left

Bug’s should be given a chance to taste good as food because it could help the starving children out there in the world. I really do care about the starving children out there and It does not cost money to raise bugs and then children could have a better shot at life and adults that are living on the streets. Bugs also have iron,calcium,vitamin a b and c,protein and all those things unlike meat and bacon and vegetables. Animal farming causes greenhouse gas and that is very bad for the outdoors trees, bugs and all sorts. Meanwhile, bug farming causes none of that stuff.   

Add in:if we keep doing this there will be no other food

GreenHouse gases are pollution from methane which is the gas that we fart and so do cows farts cause greenhouse gases.  Cows also poop and pee in water sources but not the water that we drink.  Greenhouse gases is air and water pollution with can people very sick like the people in palmerston north.  If this keeps going on the town is going to have a demand for food like there already is in some countries bugs can solve that problem you can find them almost anywhere and take no effort to take care of and actually don't taste that bad.

Add in:Bugs probably taste like nothing anyway

Reason 3 - food of the future

In the future if we don't think about what we are eating before we eat it than bugs may be the only thing we have left to eat.Water sources and food sources may be polluted because of animal farming.The reason why this would happen is because when cows poo and pee it goes into water and if this keeps happening then it might get into the water that we rink but that is not what is happening right now luckily.If we start doing things like eating bugs then we can stop things like this from happening.And bugs can actually taste good for example scorpion lollipops the lollipop does not just taste good the bug actually gives a banana flavour to the lollipop which makes it more fun to eat.

Conclusion

In conclusion we should eat bugs or we will have to be forced to eat them and there will be no other food left apart from bugs.

1 Bugs contain lots of iron

2 Bugs contain lots of calcium

3 Bugs contain lots of vitamins

4 Bugs contain lots of other healthy things that are good for us to eat

The activity was to write three paragraphs on three main ideas why we should or should not eat bugs

Curies Should we bugs persuasive writing blog post

For two weeks Mrs Parker's literacy group has been writing to persuade somebody and our topic was should humans eat bugs and we all had two options either to agree or disagree and I chose disagree and wrote down three statements why we should not eat bugs in my opinion. Firstly we had to write a plan about how we will write, After we finished our plans we got started on writing.

Plan:

Point of view- Disagree

Reason 1-It will taste weird.

Reason 2-It may sound healthy but some bugs could could have poison

Reason 3-It can creep you out if you look at it.

Conclusion- This is why.

Writing: Should we eat bugs?

I strongly believe that we should not eat bugs because I think that people eating their pests would be a bit of a scary feeling. I also have three main reasons why people should not eat bugs.

Firstly people now are creating videos about bugs being healthy and nutritious but they're missing the point some bugs could have either been flying or crawling around poisonous stuff such as gas or poisonous mushroom, What if the bugs had tiny pieces of mud on their feet or legs that nobody noticed and created a bug lollipop which would go in somebody’s mouth and that person would have eaten the tiny mud pieces on the bugs leg or feet.

Secondly the bugs will taste really weird when you have it in your mouth. Normally people call bugs as a pest and if someone asked them to eat a bug they would think immediately that the bug is yuck. Although only a few people over the world likes to eat bugs tier could be an undiscovered poison hiding in the bug. I think that eating a bug would taste like puke.

Thirdly most bugs are pests to humans so think about it a human eating a pest would be a nightmare for them even I would be scared to even eat a delicious lollipop with only one tiny ant inside the lollipop. I believe that people who are scared of bugs will be even more scared to even put it in their mouth.

Now this is why I think humans should not eat bugs. I hope these reasons would make you think should humans eat bugs or not?
