Are edible insects more or less ‘healthy than commonly consumed meats? A comparison using two nutrient profiling models developed to combat over- and undernutrition

摘要

Background/Objectives:Insects have been the subject of recent attention as a potentially environmentally sustainable and nutritious alternative to traditional protein sources. The purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis that insects are nutritionally preferable to meat, using two evaluative tools that are designed to combat over- and under-nutrition.
