If land bugs were as meaty and tasty I’d be eating them too.
Some are and I do.
Hoppers roasted, grilled, and fried are pretty damn good.
Dried grasshopper does really taste like prawn crackers.
Not sure whether this is about seafood or racism against District 9 residents.
Well.. They are
Feed meal worms oranges and then cook them up. Tasty!
No.
Nah, they have parasites
Perhaps, but you are aware that shrimp, lobster, crab and fish in general all have parasites too right? People get sick from seafood pretty often
Those are sea parasites which cannot live in a human body for long. Land parasites are a different story.
I assume you mean they can have parasites, not they do. In which case, so can most things. People are fine with eating cows even though they can have parasites. I have never actually heard of any significant issue with eating insects. I've only heard of them being great protein options that require much fewer resources to produce.
