Except for arbitrary cultural conditioning, there’s really nothing wrong with eating bugs. People who live in the forest eat bugs all the time. At industrial scale I could well believe that bugs would be a better food source than some of our current staples, and if bugs were cheaply available and other foods had all of their external costs priced in, I could imagine substantial numbers of city dwellers choosing to eat bugs. (Which is not to say that anyone should be forced to eat any particular food.)


Stop trying to convince me to eat bugs


Have some m&m's instead!
