Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The idea of snacking on scorpions or crickets may sound repulsive however, academics and the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) are hoping they will become a more common global source of protein and nutrients to meet the need for growing world food requirements in the future.
In Thailand eating insects is nothing new and has been going on for years, with many tourists trying out the fried delicacies. So perhaps one day we too may be tucking into some bugs.
