Once people start eating them, then there will be studies that man is causing a shortage of them and eating them must be banned.

I encoyrage my leftist friends to consume copious amounts. Hopefully then urge to burrow into the ground, not just the head as typical, but the whole body, and deeply, for 17 years will be irresistable.

That's a "no" from me - I won't be trying this ginger chick's recipes for cicadas.

If people are starving, it has been my observation that people who are starving will eat nearly anything in a real starvation situation.

I don’t put myself past that, and I have various no-go food items that I feel certain I would eat, but...can’t imagine it. (for me, that would be a raw onion)

This is only the first of many insane articles that we’ll be seeing between now and the appearance of billions of snacks for the enviro-wackos.

If you eat about 50 billion, you will have helped cool the planet by .001 degree C.

NotaBene:
Grilling your steaks outdoors during a brood hatch can include some inconsequential insect additions.
Toothpicks for your accidental hors d’oeuvres are optional.

Personal experience.

Don’t expect God to approve either!
He told us all about chitin-shell bugs in Leviticus.
They aren’t kosher!

I grew up in Montclair, New Jersey. I remember when I was a kid, Sometime in the sixties, one year when the cicadas came out. There were so many of them that it became dangerous to drive because there were so many zillions of them squashed on the road that it was the equivalent of driving on an icy street.

I don’t think eating cicadas every 17 years is sustainable.

Besides, I am NOT buying the eating insects agenda of the demonically fueled left and globalists.

If some people want to supplement their diet with bugs, more power to them, but as far as I know, the human digestive system is not particularly suited for bug digestion.

Maybe it’s just me, but Professor Cortni Borgerson Assistant Professor of Anthropology looks like she just might be one cicada short of a full deck. I’ll stick to a ham sandwich, thank you.

God set aside that Old Law through His Son.

Eat anything you want.

I'm perfectly fine with people who want to eat grasshoppers. They can go right ahead.
Just don't force it on others.
