While insects are already consumed in many countries, the acceptance of insect-based foods is very low in Western European countries. This cross-border study examined how the acceptance of German and Dutch consumers …

About 20% of energy intake in the Netherlands is consumed out-of-home. Eating out-of-home is associated with higher energy intake and poorer nutrition.
