昆虫食品引发下一波饮食潮流

“China imports 30 million tons of soybean meal in order to supply its chicken and pig farms,” Vantomme says. “The average Chinese eats meat once a week, and that is expected to double in the next five years. That means they will be importing 60 million tons. Even China is looking for alternatives for these imports. For them, it’s a big problem.”

“为了满足养鸡场和养猪场的需要，中国每年进口大约3,000万吨大豆粉，”旺托姆说。“中国老百姓通常一周吃一次肉，他们的肉食需求预计将在未来5年翻一番。这意味着，他们将进口6,000万吨。就连中国也开始为这些进口饲料寻找替代品。对他们来说，这是一个大问题。”

EnviroFlight’sCourtright also says he expects the animal feed sector to offer the most potential for investors. “For animal feed, definitely. For human feed, I don’t think the West is ready,” Courtright says. “We’re not that hungry yet. We are not starving and insects are not part of our culture.”

此外，EnviroFlight公司的考特赖特表示，他预计饲料行业将成为最有潜力吸引投资的领域。“对于饲料产业来说，肯定如此。但我不认为西方公众已经做好了食用昆虫的准备，”考特赖特说。“我们还没有饿到那份上。我们目前还没有体会到挨饿的滋味，也不具备吃昆虫的文化传统。”

Some of that trepidation was on display the other day at Fortune when several reporters said they were scared to even try samples of the Chapur coconut, ginger and lime or the peanut butter and chocolate bar. Much of the apprehension came from expecting to bite into a cricket, as famously seen on the TV show Fear Factor, although the bars have no visible cricket parts and lack the woodsy flavor of chirping insects. The taste and consistency are closer to a chocolate or tropical power bar.
