I'm all for it in all seriousness. I've had fried bees, salted crickets, and some fried coconut grubs. All were delicious. Prepared right they are more than edible. Just need to get americans to give up the occasional steak or lambchop.

I'm for it, it is way healthier then than the normal crap we eat and much more plentiful. Hopefully it can take the pressure off the cattle industry and farming industry...

Edit: Fried?
Not so healthy. But incorporating them into food would be a good idea. Instead of Oreos in our ice cream cake we can use something else to provide that crunch...

If you think about it, its not that much weirder than eating fungus (mmmmm, mushrooms).

Any tips for someone wanting to try this out? I'm going to start using bio-degradable oil, maybe bio-fuels in the future. Sustainable food that gets back at bugs (I F'ing hate bugs) would fit well with this lifestyle!

I'm not eating bugs, but if it will help to lower certain counts, I'll drive you to a store to get some!
