>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)
Yup. If I remember my biology, I believe shrimps and lobsters are in the same family as cockroaches.
