答疑：xyfxyfxyf123Researchers in the Netherlands are trying to work out ways of replacing animals with insects as a more environmentally-friendly source of protein. The Dutch government has invested more than $1 million in the research. Next week a team of Dutch scientists will release an insect cook book. Restaurants are already introducing some insect-infused dishes to their menus. Anna Holligan has been to check out what's on offer in one such establishment in the Dutch town of Hollum.
Here in the kitchen, the chefs are busy preparing today's specials.
"My name is Mark Forgennade. On the menu right now, there's a meat pie and some insect crumble. And in that crumble is some mealworms, some buffalo worms and then some nuts, in which bring a little on top of it. And right here we have some grasshoppers."
"So they are the fried grasshoppers?"
"Yep. It's a bit of a nutty taste. It's very good."
And although it's still a bit of a novelty here, a few miles east at the University of Wageningen, scientists are taking insects seriously. I asked Professor Marcel Dicke who's heading of the research why he believes we should be replacing cows with caterpillars.   
"Because they are an excellent protein source. The production of insects requires much, much less land space and feeds than the production of the regular livestock. And so it would be very good to switch."荷兰的研究人员正试图用昆虫来代替人们餐桌上的用来提供蛋白质的肉食，因为这样对环境更加有利。 荷兰政府已经在该项研究中投入了超过一百万美元的经费。 下周，一队荷兰科学家将发布一本昆虫烹饪手册。而餐饮业敢为天下先，已经将含有昆虫的菜肴加到了他们的菜单里。Anna Holligan 到荷兰小镇Hollum的一家餐馆看他们正在供应什么样的昆虫菜。
这里是厨房，各位大厨正忙着准备今天的特色菜。
我的名字叫 Mark Forgennade。现在菜单上有肉派和一些昆虫点心。点心里面有肉虫，水牛蠕虫和一些坚果，有些都放在点心头上了。这里呢有一些蚱蜢。
它们是油炸的么？
是的。有一点坚果的味道，味道非常棒。
尽管昆虫菜在这里仍然有一点新奇，在这里东边几英里的Wageningen大学，科学家们却非常严肃的进行昆虫提供蛋白质的研究。我问及Marcel Dicke教授，该研究的负责人，为什么他认为我们应该用毛毛虫来代理餐桌上的牛羊。
因为用它们来提供蛋白质再好不过了。生产昆虫与饲养家畜相比，所需要的土地更少，所耗费的饲料也更少。所以如果能够这样转变的话，非常的好。
