Should insect protein become the dietary norm of the future, how will our descendants feel about our reactions to the first insect aisle in the local supermarket? Could we perhaps be the last generation to be seen as true meat eaters?

Is it really though, or is it just what you’re used to? Prawns are basically sea woodlice and everyone loves them.

Yes its still disgusting. In reality, eating prawns and most shellfish in general is disgusting. If that thing lived on land we would not eat it. But it doesn’t and we’re used to it and it tastes really good, so we do it anyway.

I honestly can’t stomach the idea of eating insects, but I do love prawns! Looks like the two halves of my brain are sleeping in separate beds tonight.

I can’t eat them due to allergies. I’ve tried lobster and thought it was nothing to write home about. Luckily didn’t really react.

But you don’t find them utterly disguising?

Clearly evolution has distinguished ’insects’ from ‘Aquatic Crustaceans’.
