The Human Use of Insects as Food and as Animal Feed
Abstract
Most Europeans and North Americans are barely, if at all, aware that insects have played an important role in human nutrition. The older literature contains numerous accounts provided by explorers, naturalists, anthropologists, and assorted travelers describing the use of insects as food by the indigenous peoples of most of the world.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
