So to clarify, I've never been a worm fan and I've been eating crickets and grasshoppers (and chicken and beef and dandelions and fish) for years. They really don't taste bad. Termites are good too, but I don't trust the ones in my area like I do when I can go to the jungle. I doubt I'll stop eating these bugs. Most important, I've also always been against any big entity telling people what to eat.

What @petertodd has honestly debunked for me is the idea that insects are a viable protein alternative. Over the years, people have suggested lots of plant based protein alternatives only to find out after the fact that they lack a certain amino-acid. The whole combination was supposed to work on paper, but there were too many unknown-unknowns and the population ended up malnourished or with some other problem. This is where the traditional wisdom he mentions comes in handy. It's because of the combination of chicken being so boring by itself, and its nutritional value, that humans have figured out so many different ways to prepare it. So I'm still not convinced to avoid eating bugs out in the woods. I'm just probably not going to buy that power bar at this point. Thanks again @petertodd and @Signal312 for those insights.
