Will you eat the bugs?

People like the idea of having other people eat bugs while they nicer foods are reserved for the wealthy.
Complaining about global warming helps make that happen.

I keep seeing articles like this one popping up more and more, and it seems like there’s definitely a concerted effort underway to move the Overton Window in the direction of this.

Yes, other cultures have traditionally eaten insects for millennia, so there’s no need to impress us all with your reminding us the obvious. Likewise for those who would quip that shellfish are already akin to terrestrial invertebrates.

But this version of entomophagy would be different, with insect protein being processed into a presentation more suited to Western conceptions of what “meat” should resemble. So instead of grilled insects, it would be more akin to a soy-burger.

Will you eat insect based “meat’?

Aren't we already accidently eating bugs? I mean I read a few years ago bugs fall into our peanut butter but, they don't scoop them out. I am sure there are other bugs in other products too.

That’s kinda different than eating a 1/2 pound pressed block of beetle larvae or earthworms disguised as Salisbury steak

I agree, just stating a fact. To answer the question: HELL NO. If I can help it that is.

I think I could slowly overcome my aversion to eating certain types of bugs in a good preparation - like fried and garlicky. It would take time but I'm certain I could do it. I would not want to eat bugs disguised in food. For some reason I think that would gross me out more.

But just because I think I could do it doesn't mean I want to do it.

I'll gladly try the products and if they taste good I'll gladly eat them. If they don't I won't.

So many people in this thread proudly expressing opinions they wouldn't even accept from their own child. "I won't eat it because bugs are icky" is no different from "I won't eat it because broccoli is icky."

This is my answer too.
