Abstract
Od kilku lat koncepcja spożywania owadów budzi ogromne zainteresowanie w Europie w związku z możliwością zapewnienia zrównoważonego środowiskowo, alternatywnego do mięsa, źródła białka w diecie nie tylko zwierząt, ale i ludzi. W Polsce z początkiem 2023 r. zrobiło się bardzo głośno o owadach jadalnych, ale w negatywnym kontekście. W telewizji oraz mediach społecznościowych prowadzono kampanię dezinformacji, podając, że owady jadalne są zagrożeniem dla bezpieczeństwa zdrowotnego człowieka. Wskazywano, że spożywanie owadów jest fanaberią przyszłości, ideologicznym szaleństwem, koncepcją sprzeczną z polskim interesem uderzającą w polską wieś. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie najważniejszych, rzetelnych danych dotyczących owadów jadalnych w celu stworzenia pełnej i obiektywnej podstawy informacyjnej. Ta podstawa może posłużyć jako fundament do podejmowania decyzji dotyczących potencjalnego wykorzystania owadów jako źródła pożywienia.(abstrakt oryginalny)

For several years, the concept of consuming insects has been attracting significant interest in Europe, given its potential to provide an environmentally sustainable, meat-alternative source of protein in the diet, not only for animals but also for humans. In Poland at the beginning of 2023, there was a considerable interest around edible insects, but in a negative context. A disinformation campaign was conducted on television and social media, claiming that edible insects threaten human health. It was suggested that consuming insects is a futuristic fad, an ideological madness, a concept conflicting with Polish economic interests, particularly affecting farming areas. This work aimed to present the most important, reliable data regarding edible insects to create a comprehensive and objective informational foundation. This foundation can serve as a basis for making decisions regarding the potential utilisation of insects as a food source.(original abstract)
