Couldn't read the text of the article because it's in Turkish so can't comment on how insulting the suggestion is. However, if you've not got the food eat what's available.

A lot of African tribespeople actually relish eating certain insects. e.g. when a termite mound opens and they all fly away to start new colonies, the Africans collect them by their thousands and roast them. 60% fat and 40% protein they are very nuitritious. There are other insects that fly in huge clouds that they collect and eat, and, of course, locusts (eat them before THEY eat your crops).

Our revulsion at the idea of eating insects is because we're used to eating game, poultry and red meat. But we also eat amorphous, snot-like creatures in the form of shell-fish (like eating land snails) and shrimps, prawns, etc. (not too dissimilar to locusts)

It's all a matter of taste.

Besides, look at the crap the Americans shove down their throats! :-)
