I speak for a sizeable portion of the human race when I say I'll never voluntarily eat bugs.
I'd rather be forced to be a vegan.
No shade on you if you choose to eat bugs, it's just not for me.
With highly process food I don't care. Protein powder. I would use cricket powder instead of almond flour. I mean all that stuff has some insect in it already. But insects as cuisine. Nope.
Surprisingly, I'm much more okay with it if I'm lied to. If you tell me no, no, no, there are no bugs in this, and then I eat it, and I do not detect bugs in it, and it turns out after the fact that there were bugs in it, okay fine, you got me, fair game.
