You're gonna eat bugs because it's either that or die fighting over the last unopened can of beans in a burned down Walmart.

I've eaten insects. I've eaten crickets and ants and beetle larvae.

Honestly, they taste fine.

People have no problem eating shrimp, crab and lobster, but suggest a cricket and they act like it's the worst thing in the world to eat.

“… if I didn’t know any better, I would swear that people in that place are selling us out to the CCP.“ What a gutless fear-mongery thing for a Senator to say. Like saying I’m not saying this but, you know just putting it out there. He would know very well that those conspirafools will run with it.
