There's been some fringe science saying that, due to scarcity, we'd have to eat bugs in the future, for protein. Honestly, bugs aren't bad. I've eaten them in survival school, camping with folks cause I was trying to be tough, with some other folks to try to be cool, and because they were available and sort or a local thing.

Here's the deal...grasshopper legs will get caught In your teeth. Cheese flavors makes it worse. Grasshoppers smoked with salt and lime are actually pretty good...like if if could have them over potato chips, I would cause they taste better and if cooked are better for you. I don't want to eat live bugs, grubs, or whatever. Some can have parasites, but anything moving is weird. If they are cooked, they aren't bad tasting at all. Except some ants. Some ants are bad, because they have some acid or something in their body. Other ants go great with chocolate.

A friend of mine, Junior Associate Under Vice-Consul Jaime Retief, sent me a gross of deep-fried barbecue Groaci Hoob Melon Gribble-Grubs. Quite tasty!
