The title of this is incendiary, to make the reader emotional about being force fed insects.
Everyone eats trace amounts of bugs all the time without giving it a second thought. Bugs get in our food before we buy it, and after we buy it. For every critter we accidentally discover, there are others that go right through our digestive system.
I have no issues buying a slab of steak or bacon - part of the product is the abstraction from animal to dinner. I'm probably a vegetarian in denial because the process of turning an animal into dinner stresses me out but I am happy to have a bacon cheeseburger.
So it seems fair to me that if we can mask the process of trillions of crickets turning into protein powder for making 2050 meatloaf, that someone like me will have no issue eating that either.
I have a feeling my opinion on this will be controversial because talking about food is controversial. I'm not trying to antagonize anyone reading this.
