While our elites eat Wagyu beef, lobster, Chilean Sea Bass, heritage pork, scallops and a thousand other delicacies forbidden to us peons.

I wonder: are vegetarians and vegans okay with people eating insects? Does that count as killing animals for food?
To: PaulCruz2016
The author is quite welcome to indulge his fetish for tempura-battered mealworms, scorpion scaloppine, and grasshoppers, if he wishes.
Some of us--in fact, I suspect, most of us--would much prefer a steak. Or even a hamburger.

I have a whole lot of animals and vegetables and grains that I have to run out of before bugs are on my plate.

A very many years ago I bit into a lettuce bug at a Taco Bell. I have never been back into that establishment and don't ever intend to again. That was the first and last bug for me.
I suspect that could change when we are sent to the re-indoctrination camp and placed on a starvation diet. IMHO that would not be a gourmet opportunity.

When I was in Thailand we often worked at night. The artificial lights would bring in the RICE BUGS, or as we called them the Baht bug, as we sold them to the locals for 5 cents, or a baht.

As a teen-ager I worked at an upscale department store at the candy counter. We had a whole shelf filled with chocolate-covered bugs. The entire time I worked there no one bought any.

The author is Peter Frick-Wright...?
Could there be a more unfortunate name? Seriously.

Eating bugs is not as simple as just popping them into one's mouth. Some can be poisonous (although I believe all aquatic bugs are edible). With many the heads should be removed first, and they should all be roasted to kill any parasites they are carrying.
But, I'm with the steak-eaters. :)

I think you mentioned this was at Hudsons Dept. store in Detroit, Mi. I never knew this product was sold there, and I grew up in Detroit. Cass Tech was my high school.

If scorpion tastes like crab... what does that tell you about crab?

Someone gave me a lollipop with a scorpion in it. I discovered that the lollipop is actually a very viscous liquid. The scorpion would gradually sink to the down side of the lollipop, which I would turn over every few months.
I wonder if I still have that lollipop...
