Sinopse

"Insect Protein Facts" explores the potential of entomophagy, or eating insects, as a sustainable solution to global food security. Insects offer a nutritious alternative to traditional protein sources, boasting high protein content, essential amino acids, and beneficial fats while potentially reducing environmental impact compared to conventional livestock farming. Many cultures worldwide have embraced insect consumption for centuries, highlighting the disconnect between Western aversions and global practices. 

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an introduction to entomophagy and addressing cultural biases. It then delves into the nutritional profiles of various edible insects, comparing insect farming's environmental footprint to traditional agriculture, and concludes with culinary applications, including recipes. This approach helps readers understand not only why insects are a viable food source, but also how to incorporate them into their diets.

 
This book uniquely combines nutritional science, environmental data, and practical culinary guidance, presenting a holistic view of insect protein. It highlights that insects require fewer resources than traditional livestock, contributing to planetary health by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and land usage. The book's accessible style makes complex scientific information understandable, advocating for the integration of insect-based food production into global food systems.

    Crammed with useful info, funny recollections, heartfelt anecdotes, and lots of cute furry creatures, a collection for all animal lovers!
    		 
    This collection of over 60 stories and essays, drawn from Dr. Schott’s 30 years in small animal practice, covers an astonishing breadth of experiences, emotions, and species. Schott has tales of creatures ranging from tiny honeybees to massive Burmese pythons, although the emphasis is on dogs and cats and the interesting, often quirky, people who love them. He also doles out advice on current topics such as CBD oil, raw diets, and COVID-19, as well as the mysteries of catnip, dog flatulence, and duck erectile dysfunction. Schott’s candor gives the reader a behind-the-scenes look at a profession that is much admired but often misunderstood. What is it really like to be a veterinarian? More to the point, what is it really like to be a veterinarian when confused pet parents call at 2:00 a.m.? Or when your patient bolts for the road? Or when you’re asked to spay a dog on a resort’s kitchen table? Readers will also learn how to make a sheep sit on its bum and, yes, how to examine a wolverine.
