We don't need any more plastic supermarkets!

[Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall @HughFW]

We’ve had enough of so much unnecessary #plastic packaging all over our supermarket shopping. So supermarkets, this is #OurPlasticFeedback! Watch episode 3 of #WarOnPlastic TONIGHT at 9pm @BBCOne to find out more. RT and let’s spread this message far and wide! #plasticpollution

I'm sure HRH Prince Charles munched all the YumBug treats we gave them off camera! #YumBugs

[Mark Cuthbert @markacuthbert]

Prince Charles, Prince of Wales is offered Lemon cake with ants in on the "Yumbugs" stall during a visit to Honiton, and the town's 'Gate-to-Plate' food market. #princecharles @ClarenceHouse #honiton #Royals

It's a natural part of our learned immune response. @GreenBeebugfarm we are trying to make our snacks look so yummy that we can override this response! #yumbugs

[NPR @NPR]

People have been eating bugs for millennia, and our current disgust is a relatively new phenomenon, Julie Lesnik argues in her book "Edible Insects and Human Evolution."
