I'm sure this doesn't apply to them.

This is probably just a suggestion for the "little people".

Weren’t we told there is a natural food chain on earth?

The lack of bees causes X, x causes Y. Would not our jumping the natural order food chain be disruptive?

“Aw, Mommy! Roast mealworms again?”

“Now, Tommy. Eat your mealworms and behave! And don’t forget to eat your kale! And get your elbows off the table!”

“Aw, Mommy!”

I know how to cook pig. If I want to pick sh!+ with the chickens, I'll think about a mealworm. Until then, though...

I ate bugs in Thailand (after a few Thai beers). The poor people in provinces lie Isaan develop a taste for them. I’m like Andrew Zimmerman and will try anything. The bugs were disgusting and I almost got sick! You have to eat a lot of them to get any protein from them. Gross!

Never cared for Korg’s—half of the Gagh are dead and the fries are too greasy.
