I have no interest in intentionally ingesting insects. If I were starving with no other choice, I’d probably eat them but it wouldn’t be a pleasant experience.

Man does not possess or is able to secrete a chitin-ase, the digestive enzyme to break down the hard shell (the bones) of any insect.

Do NOT eat these things.

If you eat salad... you are probably eating insects... you just can’t see them. Even thorough washing will not completely rid the vegetables of all the critters.
