RE: YES to Shrimps and Prawns But NO to These Six Legged Guys?
It's amazing to me how ingrained or trained our food preferences are. At the University of Arizona, the Entomology and Insect Science program used to have a big insect brunch. I liked going because there was always a lot of good food -- and hardly anyone ever ate it. They had some great Cricket California Roll sushi. And the mealworm cookies were great. As a kid, I raised mealworms, crickets, and yes, even wood roaches, to feed my pet snake. Insects are as clean as their environment. As protein, they would be really efficient -- anything that's cold-blooded, like insects or fish, is a lot more efficient than warm-blooded animals that waste energy as body heat.
