It's certainly easy to make fun of for those of us not used to eating them. But most traditional societies in the world include some kind of insects as part of their diet. Not eating these widely available sources of protein is another hugely wasteful aspect of Western culture. Kind of like living in Greenland and not wanting to switch from a cow-based to a fish-based diet. (I know, there are other analyses of the collapse of the Viking settlements in Greenland, but it still makes a good point.)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', 'E')xactly, I'm a little disapointed in the board here. Nothing wrong with bugs. The Thai grocer down the street has them in the freezer. I think they have candied ones with ginger for the kids too. Now, chicken feet that's just gross. One of my Chinese-origin coworkers brought that in at a pot-luck in some very tart pickled-type sauce. Bleh.
