Crickets and grasshoppers pack a lot of protein and minerals, and take far fewer resources to produce than animal meat. But a lot of people think they're gross.

Eat the rich

No.

No - don’t care that much

If it’ll get the gop out of office, sure.

Mosquito soup! Please!

NO

I know a couple areas near me that sell seasoned or chocolate grasshoppers. They’re pretty good. Also scorpion lollipops.

I ate roasted crickets in Dallas a few years back. They were hella good. 👍

haven't all the bugs disappeared?

What is the best tasting insect?

No.

Delicacy in Indonesia and some place in Asia.

Hell no.

Vegetarians can't eat so we who are non vegetarians can eat this ...so it will become a balance 😁 after all we have to respect each other choices ...

Hell no!😖

No. That goes for meat made in a Lab, too. The Earth is BILLIONS of years old. Eating Animals is healthy for humans and other animals. It is mother nature. The Science Denying Global Warming crowd is bonkers.

No I would not eat insects, but I can tell you where I’d like to shove them.

It won’t save the planet.

Nope

It depends...

Go ahead, leftists, eat your soilent green; i’ll have the grass fed, antibiotic free hamburger: medium, please 😊🍔

Eaten them from a street vendor in Bangkok;silk&bamboo worms,cricket,ant,grubs and cockroach.All fried and very tasty. Cockroach shell was a bit hard though!

Also, do you go to restaurants? Buy food in a store? Eat peocessed met? Then you’re already eating insects. You just didn’t know it.

I’d eat insects because I like to try new food. Help save the planet? Nothing wrong with that either.

I’ll just stick to 🐄,🦌 , 🐖, 🐓, 🦃, and seafood.

if it’s good

Being vegan, I'd rather not.

The only circumstance I can foresee myself eating ANYTHING that disgusting would be if I was facing starvation, and not even sure of that.

Only if it was Donald Trump...would take a long time but worth it

My first instinct is to say no. But just a couple of generations ago, most Americans regarded lobsters as akin to insects—and fed them to prisoners. So if insects taste as delicious as lobster, sure.

Does it taste like chicken?

Definitely not. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sure would! And I'm sure my health (and figure) would improve in some way, shape or form 🙂

Wir essen Schnecken , Froschschenkel und rotten jetzt (dank den Japanern) die Wale aus. Also her mit den Insekten.

First you gotta save the insects!

Let me give you and absolute NO for my answer.

If those buggers can bite me, I can eat them.

No, because it’s not necessary.

Never happened.

Yes ! I guess we need to get ready for this ! 😁

Every time I eat peanut butter I am. I learned that from the news that there is always bugs in it. So I am already doing my part.

Shit...we sautaying some as you speak! Waiting on this Russian donkey to release us as hostages of his childish temper tantrum... So that we can cash this, God may luv me, pay check! Try the smoke roaches dipped in spider cobwebs... Um um good! Has an oodle of noodle taste!

No

Hells to the nah!

nope...but i AM eating all the cows i can to reduce their methane production

No

No. BTW. The planet takes care of itself. 8 billion measles irritations will pass. (10000 years of infection are not even a heartbeat in a 4.5 billion years live.)

What an idea

Doing the UNs bidding.

Honestly...?

No, but I will gladly stomp on a few spiders!

No.

Only if they were yummy.

Christ

Can't I just be a vegetarian?

You can buy cricket powder here.

We’ll be forced to in the not so distant future so why not start now.

No

Id go vegetarian.

insects are good for the planet. The planet is not dying or in peril just mankind is because they are pushing PC-BS & Globalism.

Nope.

Yes

If you put enough ranch on it, I'll pretty much eat anything.

Nope never

I'm a vegetarian so no.

Just don't tell me what I'm eating please.

No

We already eat those so yes

Bad bet.

No. No. No. did I mention NO?

I would just like to know how to 'stop' eating bugs..

no, it will never be popular.

Any ideas to grill roaches?

Good luck with that business plan. impossibleburger

no

If you only eat insect, won't you disturb the balance of ecosystem? Many animals feed themselves with insects. I don't want to steal their food 🤦‍♀️

Hell No!!!!

Most def. Its the future, don't fear it.

No.. But I would eat something with Fava beans and a nice Chianti...

I'm sitting at my desk choking down yogurt, and they think I'm gonna eat a grasshopper?

Supremely grilled Ribeye Steak vs Grasshopper I can't believe we're having this conversation

Yes, but I couldn't eat more than 7000

Why all the hating on insects? Shameful.

sell them at the mexico border to hungry hikers...

These are the things of Nightmares!

If it gets to the point where I have to start eating insects, I'll just turn total vegan.

Sure would, already have but sadly insect based food is unproportionally expensive where I live (Germany).

Honestly, insects aren't too far removed from crabs and lobsters, if you think about it.

Nah fam Tofu is where its at
