To be honest, this is the real reason, and I guess the article is trying to push back against the cultural aversion to insect meat in the US specifically.
It really isn't that hard to explain. It's the same reason we don't eat rats. They are considered "unclean".
- gnulinux 8y agoMuslims and Jewish people don't eat pork. If you ask a religious Muslim or Jew they'll tell you "they don't eat it because God forbid them to". But if you go to more secular cultures (Europen/American Jewish communities, Turkey, Azerbaijan etc...) they'll rationalize it by saying "pig is not a clean animal, that's why we don't eat it". Human culture comes in all sorts of shapes and beliefs. The moment you try to put it into cups, you'll realize it's not as flexible as you thought. There are thousands of cultures that eat insect, or pig; and as many cultures that consider them unclean.
