I eat bugs all the time. I grow my own food so sometimes it takes way more effort than ibwould ever expend to get rid of all the tiny bugs on leaves. For example, when i make vegan kale pesto, if the kale is at a certain point in its lifecycle there will likely bw some aphids on it. Aphids are so hard to get rid of. Trying to scrape them just makes them explode on the leaf. Putting the leaf in water doesnt do shit, they just stick to it. So aphids are in my pesto too. I honestly dont think twice about it.

Now would i go out of my way to farm insects...absolutely not. I hardly even "farm" the shit i grow. I put the seeds down a few years ago and nurtured them the firdt year...and they reproduce themselves at least twice a year now with me doing absolutely nothing.

Insect farms sound like toxic civ to me, honeatly.
