Rancher rips Utah teacher's climate assignment encouraging kids to eat bugs over beef: 'Junk science'

A teacher from Utah's Nebo School district went viral for doling out an extra credit assignment encouraging students to eat insects for a lesson on climate change and claiming that doing so would alleviate some of the harm done by raising cattle and eating beef, according to information obtained by Fox News Digital.

"Should we be eating bugs?" teacher Kim Cutler asked in a video that aired Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend." "Yeah, because we're killing the world by raising cows and animals," she continued.

Will Harris, a fourth-generation Georgia cattleman, pushed back against the notion. "It's an example of a fanatic attempting to force her interpretation of science onto someone under her control," he told co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy. "It's a presupposition and is completely improper."
