Don't conflate the ecologically sustainable practice of bug-eating with American fascist secret service bullshit.
"here's a rational sounding thing to be concerned about, also have you heard of adrenochrome?"
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I find it disgusting to eat animals like shrimp or lobster because they look too similar to insects to me.

Shrimps is bugs
Yummy bugs.
