Nutshell
People eat and wear insects ALL the time they just don't know it, red dye #4 (cochineal or carmine) is literally crushed beetles. It's been used in food and makeup for centuries.

Anyone eat any by-product of bees lately? That stuff is pretty tasty.

If people were asked to try a new snack and were not told they were insects/bugs they probably try it. I think if spices, or flavoring were used in the preparation one would not know the difference.

spicy, crispy, crunchy grasshoppers are a specialty of Oaxaca. Very tasty snack, but avoid the raspy hind legs!
quicksilver

i would not purposely eat bugs. now if I didn't know I'd try it. I just don't want to know until after I eat it. ex frogs legs, calamari, alligator, rabbit, raccoon, deer. yes I've had all of those.

Actually, I read somewhere that they allow a low percentage of insects/spiders in through our produce. If this is true, we’re bug eaters, unfortunately.
Player #70889758
NOOOOO, NOPE, NO WAY!

Is called Bug Fest. Is in Raleigh where I live. No way I would eat any bugs, fried, or on the side.

Nutshell, I have lived in North Carolina all my life and never heard of that, what town does this ? Would like to know, but no thank you I do not want any of the insect food,,

you can eat some insects (mealworms and crickets) at the Audobon Insectarium in New Orleans. Insects are high in protein, but, having fried and eaten a large cockroach and finding it too crunchy, I think insects would be best made into protein powder and added to a shake
slomogeo
Player #1489294, i never ate a spider, but they are supposed to taste liketheir ocean cousins: crabs
Bunny
Player#MaBe, great protein without killing animals and polluting the environment.
just Dawn
if you eat any candy with the candy shell (Skittles m&M's etc) you are eating bug shells.

Player #1489294, When I was in French club in high school, I went through initiation. Part of that was to reach into a small paper bag and eat whatever was in it. I did. It was a chocolate covered ant. It was good. It tasted like chocolate covered raisins but crunchy.
