#2 Bugs as a snack food? I don't think so. Pass the pork rinds please!

#3 Crawfish aren't that different from insects and they're pretty good. Maybe we can genetically engineer some big cockroaches with some muscle you can carve a tasty t-bone out of.

#4 I ate honey ants and witchetty grubs whenever I could get them in central Australia, both are delicious. Come to think of it, those NYC cockroaches look like they might have a crunchy texture...

#6 PETA should be all over this. After all, insects are animals too. And if we start eating insects big time, we will eat MILLIONS of them. Imagine the suffering!

#7 Ya know, just becuz GEORGE JETSON lives in future OWG Megacities = "Cities-in-the-Sky" influenced /based in designs by TERMITE MOUNDS and TREES/FLORA, ETC. DOESN'T MEAN GEORGE HAS TO EAT SAME - more importantly, I don't think JANE JETSON is gonna go for eating Bugs and Leaves!?

#8 we get this same crap from the media when Cicadas come up. Some idiot is frying them and says they taste like walnuts. Just add a little salt.

F*ck em. They can eat bugs and they can start under my place. I'll lock em in the crawlspace and they can come out when they realize why Papillon was a prison movie
