Description
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. Children use their scientific knowledge and practice numeracy skills to devise a nutritionally balanced insect-and-rice menu for a day in the jungle.
