> to back up every last claim

Weasel words. You didn't back up any of your claims.

> Nor do you have any right to demand this standard of others

I see it as just good manners.

> My comment contains more than enough keywords to retrace

No they don't (though mine do), and as you just did the work & found the sources, why on earth did you not post them, having them right to hand?

> My point was about "prominent economically"

Hmm, you did say that. It's an interesting point.

> If you sort countries by GDP per capita, how far down is the first country whose dominant

It's not about 'dominant', it's about doing it at all ("...arthropod disgust being a worldwide phenomenon, which lines up with my initial speculation") - it doesn't. If a country does it as a (say) 5% protein/energy intake was insects it would disprove your taboo/disgust theory. Or 1%.

> And don't you find this result surprising considering its known energy efficiency?

If true, and you have not quantified efficiency (although I believe you are right), yes, it's a good question.
