Chinese Man Makes Tons of Money From Farming Cockroaches

This story is what nightmares are made of. While others farm livestock and others bees for their honey, what this man farms for a living is quite bizarre – cockroaches. Yes, you read that right. Cockroaches.

Warning: viewer discretion is advised.

Business is booming for Mr. Wang, as Chinese pharmaceutical companies are lining up to buy tons of his roaches.

While others consider this insect as the scum of the earth, pharmaceutical companies in China use the crushed vermin as part of their traditional medicine for stomach, liver, and heart ailments. Mr. Wang not only sells the insects as traditional medicine, but he also eats them. Yes, you read that right again. He actually eats the cockroaches – citing them as a good source of protein.

This business venture (and exotic food too!) is definitely not for the faint-hearted.
