The phrase "British scientists" got in recent years a comical color in connection with a number of amusing researches which on pleasure

to a yellow press are conducted from time to time by scientists of Foggy Albion. For example, the press and numerous bloggers can't simply pass by such basic researches, as the device of an ideal sandwich, statistics on sexual orientation of breakers of rules of traffic and influence of color of a form of football players on quality of their game. Many inhabitants of the western countries grew, eating cheap meat, - the scientist speaks. - If meat becomes luxury, its shortage should be replaced with other products somehow Jokes on validity of local scientists are popular and in the Great Britain. Last year one of the largest newspapers accompanied news about the next outstanding opening by the following summary: "The British scientists found out that if the news text on the Internet begins with words the British scientists found out, 70% of people will believe in any nonsense which is written further in the text".

And actually it becomes luxury goods, concludes Gay. "Many inhabitants of the western countries grew, eating cheap meat, - the scientist speaks. - If meat becomes luxury, its shortage should be replaced somehow with other products". But with what and how? Here the main question which was raised before themselves by British, having offered some options of succession of events. Any of them conducts to huge changes in a habitual diet and even a way of life, the American biologist David Mancini speaks. Stake from grasshoppers According to Geya, the mini-cattle will be the most probable candidate for a role of a relief of meat in a diet of the modern person - exactly so scientists call insects.
