Definitely not surprised by Italy. I wouldn’t say I’m a picky eater, definitely more willing to try new things than most people I know here, and I’d never eat insects.
No, no and no . Vegetables and legumes are good enough and plentiful enough.
I refuse to eat the bug, live in the pod, and own nothing.
Hong kong is so low? South China has insect crackers iirc.
So they didn’t bother to tell people about carmine dye? Red dye used in lipstick and food (sausages, marinades, bakery goods, toppings, juices, sweets, etc).
It’s crushed cochineal insects and their eggs. Don’t worry it’s not an artificial food colouring but a natural one.
Of very course not. I’d rather leave them to the tossers at Davos.
No. It is 10 time more expensive than normal food.
As ingredients who cares, we eat all sorts of weird ingredients. I don’t think I could bear the texture of exoskeleton insects but I would probably eat larvae or worms without problems.
If it gets the same amount of rules and checks in place as other food products I wouldn’t mind at all eating even whole insects. It has to taste good enough to give it a spot in our diet though.
First force the vaccination, then force consumption of insects.
While they eat prime rib and opt out.
15%-20% for Spain? That’s preposterous. 0% is the only figure I’d believe
I’d rather become a hardcore vegan than eat a fucking insect, thank you very much.
If you wanna know why Mexicans say yes it’s because we already eat insects as ants or grasshopper in some regiona, so nothing new
Nope, if it has an exoskeleton it can fuck right off
Insects can be pretty tasty as a snack but not as a main dish
Mexico, sautéed grasshoppers. Not awful. Tasted kinda like if grass could sweat and a lot of crunch. I mean have you seen how lipstick is made? Loads of cosmetics use what’s called “cochineal” which is basically mashed bug paste for added color.
Regular diet? Nah. Id go vegetarian though if I had to change protein source. If it was a matter of survival though then I don’t have much choice. Hope I stubble across from preferred native dishes with the local bugs I guess lol
I have been a vegetarian for the past 41 years so, no.
Trying new things is hard, bugs make it harder.
Don’t think I could handle them whole but as ingredients, why the hell not?

I think I’d rather just become a vegetarian, but who knows. Maybe I’ll unknowingly eat something and think it’s okay.
I eat shrimp, lobster, crawfish and other unsavory water bugs, so it could work if prepared properly or as a supplement / ingredient.
Hell, the French will drown it a heavy garlic cream sauce and charge $79 for a plate of bugs. You know they will too.
