I would and have. Even as a vegetarian. Me and my gf have debated whether eating bugs really counts or not. We aren't hardcore vegetarians and mostly did it for dietary reasons. I mean, some had to do with the treatment of animals in some of the meat factories (Tyson is especially bad XD)

Well, that wasn't my motive to become a vegetarian. 

Health reasons, my friend. Nothing about hating meat-eaters. Don't worry, if I wanted meat I could eat it without feeling any guilt XD It was for dietary reasons... sorta. Idk my reason was what most might consider strange.

Yeah, i've seen some of those videos. They can be pretty bad. It still wasn't enough to get me to give up meat, though i can see why it would for some people. When it comes to eating bugs i think its hard to argue against it, considering that we already have to massacre countless numbers of them to grow our crops in the first place.

I've thought about eating insects before, still haven't gotten around to trying it. What kind of bugs have you eaten, and what do they taste like? Ive heard crickets taste kinda like nuts...

I've had crickets, scorpions, beatles (not sure which), and those worms they always sell to eat. Theyre white and chubbish. And yes, crickets do taste very nutty. Which kind? Uhhh... maybe almost like a bad almond. Like if you had a variety pack of nuts and slipped some crickets in -if you had a handful of nuts you'd never know you ate a cricket, honestly. And the other bugs also had a nutty taste. I'd say what makes them unappealing is after. Their shell is very soft and kinda has the texture of paper... not the best
