        I ate a grasshopper once, because he made a move on my sandwich. I had to defend my place on the food chain.

        I said I ate him, not had oral sex with him. That girl is just playing, not fighting for species dominance. Yes, I'm grossed out. Thank you for that.

        From an evolution perspective, humans that were afraid of spiders and snakes were more likely to survive and thus these genes are passed to the next generation. It is normal to have a natural aversion to eating insects

        How do you explain the many cultures in which eating insects is completely normal then?

        From Wikipedia: The total number of ethnic groups recorded to eat insects is around 3,000. Insect-eating is common to cultures in most parts of the world, including Central and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. 80% of the world's nations eat insects.

        Yes, many eat insects because of necessity, the need for food supersedes any aversion you may have but does not remove the instinct to avoid it. Insects are also drawn to decay which is another trigger that activates our distaste

        Well, just the other day I stepped on a cockroach as it scurried across my kitchen floor and I said to myself, “wow, I’d really like to eat that. Too bad it’s on the floor.”

        because every animal has its own diet and tastes and its enforced on a evolutionary level and we are no different? stop with the propaganda.
