Bushtucker Challenge


Bugs make a regular appearance on "I'm a celebrity - Get me out of here". They have featured in some stomach-turning Bushtucker Challenges - celebrities have even been forced to eat them alive! Actually, many insects are high in protein and low in cholesterol, and are a valuable source of nutrients in parts of Australia, Asia and Africa.


The later Years as part of their 'Around the world project' study of Australia have looked into eating bugs. The children used their scientific knowledge and practised their numeracy skills to devise a nutritionally balanced insect-and-rice menu for a day in the jungle.
