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.

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.
