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?


I don't think I said anything of the sort.


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?


No, it's bizarre how many commenters in here are trying to stop _me_ from eating bugs (via a social disgust reaction).

The linked article sounds scientific, but the same author wrote this: "they" are trying to poison "us" rant.


It seems that if anybody is trying to change anyone else's eating habits, it's the anti-bug folk in here.


The parent commenter is spreading misinformation. The authors are not the same. They don't even have similar names.


"the same author wrote this"

That's not true though, the link you posted is authored by a completely different person.
