Silkworms are my favorite insects for eating 👍🏼 That and crickets. They sell them everywhere in Asia

[@louisstephen9172]

i am eating crickets right now they are delicious

[@letkwu]

I wouldn't be opposed, I mean costal cuisine looks pretty grotesque, but Americans still love our gumbo 🇺🇸

[@infinitematches9053]

If nothing else, feed them to the stuff we already eat. natural protein boost. I feed my DOG crickets, she loves them, she loves catching them ,they are healthy, and she gets more excited about a live cricket treat than she does a beef treat from table scraps...

[@Yoyo-tx3ue]

I will not eat the bugs

[@brookeardenshapiro]

This guy is soooo hot. lol I can’t stop watching.

[@MediaSock]

Wait a minute! what happens when people start enjoying eating insects but instead of buying them they start catching & selling their own without breeding them, what happens if people start catching populations of bees to eat or other beneficial insects,where does it stop?.

Je parle pa anglé dsl

[@wawewiwowu8170]

china is already doing this.

[@Reactionary_Harkonnen]

It's because they started doing that not so much because they wanted to but because they went through history's largest famine thanks to Communism.
