It is important for young people to eat healthy snacks and meals. One snack that is healthy and nutritious is crickets. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a 200 calorie serving of crickets has 31 grams of protein and 7.2 grams of fiber. Protein and fiber are essential to eating a balanced diet because they assist in weight loss and digestive functioning. Also, the USDA reports that crickets have more Omega- 3 than lean beef. Omega-3 has amazing health benefits because it is the “good” fat that the body needs to be productive. Most importantly, crickets have less fat than lean beef and salmon (USDA). Consuming less fat is extremely important to ensuring a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, Dhahran School should consider serving students crickets to its students because of its nutritional value.
