It's wild to me to see such an anti-insect eating tirade on HN. Just observe the comments here: almost every highly upvoted comment is anti-insect, and the comments that express any positive sentiment towards eating insect is flooded with angry responses. Bizarre.
Don't you want to "follow the science"? Science says insects are a major vector for parasitic disease in humans. So should we ignore the science now because other science?
It's bizarre to realize that most people don't want to eat bugs? How many people do you see eating bugs on an average day for this to be a shock to you?
