At an earlier point in our evolutionary history we no doubt ate plenty of insects. Grubs, grasshoppers, crickets, ants, termites... pretty much whatever we could get our hands on.
This practice was generally discarded by humanity except for niche pockets here and there.
Why? I mean... there must be a reason humans (for the most part) stopped eating insects.

- rwallace 12y agoCatching insects in the wild is very labor-intensive per kilogram of protein obtained, and so is trying to farm them in a pasture. Obviously this insect farm solves that problem.
