No different than eating oysters raw, or any other food source. Americans would slim down on this diet.

This BS slide show, is just that. I’ll be happy to eat insects. If you can eat a soft shell crap, you can eat insects.
BTW, you need to clean and cook most insects. They’re high in protein, easy to grow, good for you, they don’t require large masses of land, and will be part of our diet going forward.

They were a part of our diet in the past and, as Rick said, our future. Yes, it will not be easy, but then, if there is nothing else, they may start to look good. ^_^

When I did my basic training many moons ago, bugs kept be alive for over a week. Once you get used to them they’re quite tasty. Even earthworms, heated over a Bic lighter, taste rather like bacon. Given the state of global affairs, I’m sure we will be depending on bugs for a great deal of our caloric intake.
