Because insects are nutritious and sustainable, even though they're currently taboo in the west.
>No one is paying celebrities millions to convince people that steak is good.

>You think Asians are all living in bamboo huts in the middle of the jungle eating insects?
No
>These people eat a wide variety of dishes, stir fried meats, meats and noodles and rice, barbecue fish, pork, chicken, duck.
Yes, and also a variety of insects. There's nothing wrong with that.
>Yes there are Asian countries that eat insects but they do not make up the bulk of their diet
I never said they did. Humans are omnivores.
>No one is serving a big pile of insects on the dinner table as a main meal.
Great job defeating that strawman?

Dude, I never said anything like that--just that insects are nutritious, and should be a food source. I don't know where you're getting sammies and lasagna from.
>Your head is full of delusional insect propaganda.
This is a genuinely hilarious line. No notes 😂
