  Three years ago, my pal Gabi Lewis—founder of Exo , who make the best cricket protein bars on the planet—made a compelling case for eating more insects . Today, I’ll build on these arguments and, based on new evidence, offer even more reasons you should consider incorporating edible insects into your diet. Though few people reading this consider insects anything but a novelty, for many human cultures they were (and are) staple foods. Humans have been eating insects for millions of years, starting with our distant ancestors and continuing through the present day.

This post is sponsored by  USA Pulses & Pulse Canada Did you know that 2016 is the International Year of Pulses ? Let’s celebrate!! Pulses are the group of foods known as dry peas, chickpeas, lentils, and beans. They are super cheap (you can stretch lentils and dried beans so far!), sustainable (they have low water and carbon footprints), versatile (soups! burgers! salads!) and of course very good for you (they are packed with protein, fiber and antioxidants).

If you’re looking to incorporate more pulses into your diet, join me in taking the Pulse Pledge – you’ll receive free pulse-filled recipe ideas, cooking tips and more : )  This soup is made with split peas, smoked andouille, and lots of carrots, celery and kale. A little Liquid Smoke at the end gives it an extra punch of flavor, but feel free to leave that out if you don’t have any or can’t find it. Begin by cooking your saus
