    There’s a reason mammals have evolved into ant eaters at least 12 different times and it’s not because ants are bad food.

    High in protein, plentiful and tasty. A good bit of bush tucker.

    So are shrimp and lobsters, basically. Some cultures eat dogs, others eat chickens, and some eat crickets/ants/weird-sea-crustaceans.

    I’m sure that some of the foods I ate as a kid would squick out many folks, but that’s not due to anything inherent in them. There’s nothing weird about eating ‘bugs,’ it’s just a weird semi-trained quirk you have.

      I watched a Youtube video by Adam Ragusea about eating insects. He theorized that the only reason why bugs aren’t delicious is because they are too small to remove out of their shell. So if you shrink a lobster abd have to eat the entire thing, it would taste like any bug.
