You know, this part is true - scientists are studying whether mealworms are a viable option for reducing pollution due to them being able to eat Styrofoam, which I honestly do find fascinating.
The styrofoam thing is awesome--they can really do that? Cuz in my hometown everyone's getting big into recycling and composting and who knows what all, but evil styrofoam still goes in the landfill.
But ultimately, only an end to population growth can save us from world hunger. Increased efficiency, like from eating bugs or ceasing to eat meat, helps but in the end just postpones and camouflages the problem as long as the population keeps growing.
(Of course right now, world hunger isn't even caused by there not being enough food, it's caused by the world being arranged to benefit the rich rather than the hungry, but limits are being reached. For the moment, though--Oxfam calculated that the top forty-some richest people in the world, few enough to put them all in a bus, own half the world's wealth. So right now, you could probably end world hunger by blowing up that bus.)
