Is that because you are bisexual, Asian or Canadian?

The thought of eating bugs is so disgusting it put me off my dinner. Shame, I normally like lobster tail. But now I'm hungry. Maybe I'll have crab legs.
None of the above. Or maybe all of the above. You decide.
Lol have some shrimp while you are at it.
Hmmm
Should I horrify all here by telling you about Balut?

Americans eat a lot of insects. They just don't know it.

I'm all for it. I say we start with the nazis.
Why are you such an ass? Insects don't deserve this disrespect.

Who's "us" kemo sabe? Humans in general have always been situationally insectivorous, it's just the one weirdo religious movement that decided they were unclean. And I certainly don't see why a bunch of atheists would care about Biblical prohibitions against crawly things, aside from accepting the associated social convention uncritically.
I'm fond of the little garlic salt dredged grasshoppers they sell at gas stations out here. They taste more like garlic than anything in particular, but they're crunchy, and healthier than cheetos if one must have a road snack.

Its hard to argue with the science. From a nutritional standpoint, humans would live longer and be far better off eating insects compared to consuming the pesticides used by farmers to kill them.
It is all what you are used to. But I still say the best solution is just fewer humans trying to live on a planet with finite resources. And as it currently is, humans still have an option to eat bugs during an ultimate "shit hit the fan" scenario. Because if we are already used to consuming bugs, where else can you go from there?

I'd much rather kill insects than human beings actually.

I was working my way through the Mormons until the cops started asking me where I was getting all the bicycles I was selling.
