Pulverising crickets to make flour for food is seen by some as a threat to the Mediterranean diet.

    Like I said

    Without exception, it basically comes down to not wanting to try new things

    Nothing about it is inherently icky. You’re just not used to the idea and therefore don’t want to try it.

    Also, you’ve most likely consumed insects before, because they are also used in food colouring.

      I’m not necessarily accustomed to eating insects… but even the packaged/processed foods we have today are allowed to be a certain percentage of hair/bug/mouse-poop so that it doesn’t become impossible to produce legal food :)
