A group of kids have been cooking up a storm in their school kitchen, experimenting with recipes that include bugs! It might sound weird, but they say bugs are good for us - and for the environment too. Creepy crawly treats are being dished out at this school, to try to bust the idea that bugs taste bad! More than two billion people around the globe tuck into bugs as part of their normal diet. These students say it kind of makes sense. But the thought of a plate of worms still gives lots of people butterflies, so these kids are searching for the perfect recipe! The students made meals in their home economics class at school and are now holding taste tests to see what works So, the next time you find yourself with an insect related snack, don't get ants in your pants, try a choc-bug cookie instead! _ For the past 50 years, Behind the News has been helping to break down current issues and events for young people all around the world.
