    Disgust at eating bugs isn’t political, but it’s cultural. It’s far from universal.

      I grew up eating seafood but I still hate dealing with it if I have to remove shells and clean it. Telling people to suck it up and eat something they don’t want to eat makes no sense to me.

        Nobody is being forced to eat anything. The point is that people have an irrational revultion at the thought of eating insects.

          Because insects are disgusting pests.

          Most crustaceans are the same. Disgusting water bugs.
