why? I think it might if mentalities change... We are already happily eating bug secretions as coatings on top of our candies (like on jellybeans, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEkKwOWZS_E)... Also don't forget about honey.

You probably could make fake hamburger meat out of bug powder to get them started.

Chocolate covered crickets are great. Mealworm flower is a fine ingredient, in fact I would eat mealworms on a bet any day. A lot of bugs though are really disgusting the same way most plants aren’t palatable (I’ve gotten a Japanese Beetle in my mouth more than once.)
I bet you 1 chocolate covered cricket that you won't eat a mealworm.

True. Some fish and crabs are also poisonous unless you know how to eat them. (I've been told some parts of the puff fish and blue crabs are poisonous)

I ate a worm from a Monte Alban mezcal bottle last week.
