Most predators that eat exclusively large prey don't number in the billions. Any reason you are averse to eating bugs specifically?

- IntrepidWorm 4y agoI second this - cow based protein and cricket based protein both supply adequate value in an average human diet - why is there such a stigma against one versus the other?
- incone123 4y agoI ordered a cricket steak and was a little disappointed. But seriously its not stigma, its cuisine preference.
- IntrepidWorm 4y agoMmm.... .0003 oz cutlets.
- wongarsu 4y agoCrickets don't taste like much. But we also each chicken. It's all about how you prepare it.
- smcl 4y agoI had them fried and seasoned/salted iirc, they were surprisingly good little snack. I think it'd take a bit of time for most people to not be squeamish about casually eating them, rather than as a little novelty thing at a food festival.
- incone123 4y agoI meant it as a joke about the size of crickets but I didn't write it very well.
- smcl 4y agoI liked it :)
- m_eiman 4y agoIt's cultural of course, but the funny thing is that kinda-insects are already culturally accepted food in the west – but only ones from the sea such as shrimp, crabs, etc.
- throwaway4aday 4y agoI don't think it's a matter of "ew gross bugs" it's that there is always a strong undertone of "we should ban beef and replace it with bugs" in these conversations. That kind of thing gets people riled up, and it should.
