    Many people who eat bugs do so by choice, not because they are starving and that's all there is. Grasshoppers in many places are a treat, more or less "flying shrimp". Eating these is so common that Americans and Europeans are the odd ones out. In Mexico, for instance, look for "chapulines".

    Chinese street food has an assortment of land invertebrates on sticks, see the pictures in this link for some varieties:

    Yeah my problem with the “insects could solve hunger “ comment is that people all over the world already do and they are typically expensive enough that they are not normally going to be a primary dietary source.
    They are more of a treat or delicacy.

    collection, preparation, etc isn’t free, not like growing wheat or rice.

    good cholesterol and usually very healthy protein.
