I thought this was interesting... although I admit, I'm not very enthusiastic about the prospect of eating insects myself.

Why? I am into survival stuff and insects are the most abundant food source out there. Now I don't go around catching them around the house to eat but a few times a year I go out and spend a week or so with not food. In that case insects are on the menu.The only reason a person should eat an insect is if there is no other food source available. Yuck! I've seen crickets, scorpions et al. on skewers in a side street in Beijing. I wasn't too keen on trying them (nothing has changed). But I suppose when you have a population of over 1 billion to feed, insects are the go.

Hmmm.... almost makes me want to try it! ("almost" being the key word.)katydids and locusts turn pink like shrimp when they are cooked! Supposedly these taste like bacon!
