Here We Go Again: ‘Eat Bugs!’

13-year, 17-year cicadas to return to Illinois, Indiana this spring - CBS  Chicago

Does this image ring your dinner bell?

I’m not going to try to guess why leftids get turned on by the idea of people eating insects. They just do.

In various parts of the country this summer, cicadas (aka “locusts”) by the millions, if not billions, will emerge from 17 years underground to mate and lay their eggs. And the usual suspects are out there urging you to eat these bugs (https://health.osu.edu/wellness/exercise-and-nutrition/cooking-cicadas).

Just “saute them for a minute or two” and bob’s your uncle.

But don’t eat them if you’re allergic to sea food.

People eating cicadas are not going to Save The Planet.

I don’t care what they taste like. They’re bugs. I once served them to my monitor lizard and even she was grossed out. Can’t say I blamed her!
