Well the way things are going it won’t be SHOULD, it will be “WE HAVE TO”

The ex-White House chef (his names escapes me at the moment) recently said in an interview with the sainted New York Times that we had to eat less beef in the future to save the planet. He won't, of course, he's special. So why not push the nutritional value of water bugs?

[Smokin' Joe]

There are already some insect parts in virtually any candy bar. That doesn't mean I want them there.

I have seen some insane fads before, but this takes the cake.

[sparklite2]

Actually, we do eat bugs. There’s insect parts if flour and chocolate and such.

[Snickering Hound]

We're in crawfish season in these parts of the country.

[Resolute Conservative]

Grasshoppers maybe, definite no to crickets. They are disgusting.

When I was young, back in the 50s, my father, sister and I would collect cicada hanging on trees after they’d emerged to shed their shell and before they hardened. We’d pluck the from the tree bark and drop them into a pail of ice and water to stop them from hardening.
Later when we steamed them, we did so the same way you would steam crab, shrimp or crawdads. Believe it of not, cicadas taste a little like shrimp. They are tasty.

Ha, when the feds are obligating you all to eat your bugs I’ll have my religious objection. Ha ha ha.. wha? They won’t let me practice my religion?

[Uncle Miltie]

No.

Because G-d said so.

[Jack Hammer]

No thanks.

Such thought is a spin-off of the Human Race Should Go Back to Cave Man Days variety of environmentalists.

[trisham]

No.

[Secret Agent Man]

Unless an extreme emergency, no way.

Many bugs are hosts to parasites and diseases that may survive any type of cooking process. If it is that bad you definitely do not want to get live longer sick and dying slower, either.

"Should You Eat Bugs?"

No, I should not.

[tophat9000]

Confucius say: Eating bugs gives you bad case of Barking Spiders....

[tbw2]

At least “locust flour” is divorced enough from the consumption that it doesn’t gross people out.
Putting it in front of most people will gross them out, whereas making the ground up bugs into high protein powder that is just one more exotically named ingredient in a bar no one notices doesn’t create psychological issues.

[neefer]

There are so many insects where we live, you can’t laugh while riding the four wheeler without eating a few.

[CrazyIvan]

How come we get grossed out about eating bugs but pay a premium for beverages in which yeast have drowned in their own pee?

[Jack Hydrazine]

God says there are only four species of locust that are kosher to eat.

Trivia question:
What is the only food in the world that comes from an unkosher animal/insect?
Honey!

“So Kosher”
by Eric Schwartz (aka Smooth E)

So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.

So kosher for me.
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.

Mmmm, I like it like that.
Corn beef with no fat,
I don’t know how to snack.

So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.

Mmmm, I like it like that.
Can’t eat this and that.
I don’t know how to snack.

So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.

I’m a keep kosher,
My neck and my back hurtin’.
Before we start eatin’,
We go through a long service.

Cut the brisket,
Then you start servin’.
Pour out the (Mani)schewitz,
Start slicky slick slurpin’.

Slow down for me,
You eatin’ too fast.
My fingers keep drippin’,
It goes straight to my @$$.

Keep the gefilte fish,
I can’t stand it, it’s soggy.
It’s somethin’ I despise,
I feed it to the doggy.

Can’t love it all,
Like herring still on the bone.
Cow tongue is bad,
and chopped liver is wrong.

Most of these dishes I love
And they are delish,
But gefilte fish
Man, it makes me sick like...

Mmmm, I like it like that.
Corn beef with no fat,
I don’t know how to snack.

So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.

Mmmm, I like it like that.
Can’t eat this and that.
I don’t know how to snack.

So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.

It’s like I live by the rules of the psalm,
‘Cause I’m a Jew and I’m strong,
Without tattoos on my arm.

All the meals I eat are kosher,
And abide by the law.
You can’t eat pig, or clams, or crabs,
Or even lobsters or prawns.

The milk can’t even be on,
the same plate the spare ribs is on.
You must a heard about
the meals I prepared up in my home.

All these dishes are delicious,
And resistance is wrong.
But only bagels and knishes,
Man, my choices is gone.

I would like to try what’s new,
And defy the rules.
But really ain’t no question
About what my wife would do.

Little momma gettin’ tempted,
I ain’t tryin’ to.
But see those popcorn scrimp?
Just wanna try a few.

You know, the Jewish law,
Can’t mix the meat with the milk.
I go to restaurants
And there ain’t nothin’ to serve me.

Can’t a player try it out,
If I said, “please” with it?
How am I suppose to eat a burger,
without cheese with it?

Mmmm, I like it like that.
I want a Big Mac.
I don’t know how to snack.

So kosher for me,
So kosher for me.
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.

Mmmm, I like it like that.
Can’t eat this and that.
I don’t know how to snack.

So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.

Mmmm, I like it like that.
Can’t eat this and that.
I don’t know how to snack.

So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.

Mmmm!
