My modest goal these days is to set myself and my descendants up so that none of us ever has to eat bugs. I don't care what it costs. Life isn't worth living if you can't happily chomp a steak, suck down a martini and light a cigarette at the table. It's not to piss people off. It's for enjoyment. Fuck people who can't enjoy life and want to make everything a disgusting misery for other people. If eating cockroaches is what someone believes it takes to save the environment, then let them be a crazy saint. The world will recover after humans wipe ourselves out, if we do, but it's not really worth living if you spend all your time hating yourself for existing and desiring what comes naturally, is it? I'm just dead tired of the neo-religious bullshit around the idea that what I eat or drink is some kind of sin. This is the reason to get rich. Let everyone around scream and faint into their bowl of mealworms. fuck'em all.

There is a lot of puritanicalishism in current western culture. I miss the 1990's when people were excited for the future and the upward course of human history.

  How is eating bugs to satisfy the scalability and reporducibility goals of a software developer who spends hundreds of billions lobbying governments to change what i eat because it meets both his pseudo moral and investment portfolio agendas "the upward course of human history."?

    I was referring to the general complaint of the parent poster about how people feel enjoying pleasures is wrong.

> want to make everything a disgusting misery for other people Wait, who's doing this? All I've seen is advocation for eating insects, not people trying to make others do the same. The comments in this thread would make one think there's a government mandate to eat some ration of insects daily and to criminalize meat consumption. What did I miss?
