    Crickets don’t sound overly appetizing, but I know people that have eaten them and it was no big thing. Frog legs are delicious, though, I don’t care what anyone says :). Truthfully, if you eat shrimp, then insects should not be too much of a leap.  I would probably add ketchup though, haha
    What I’m curious about, though, is what the anti-GMO  crowd thinks about eating lab grown meat.
    Seems like it could be a bit of a conundrum...or maybe not?

    But frogs have natural insect protein and not the farmed, modified insect protein. Win-win.

    I am curious what lab grown woolly mammoth or dinosaur would taste like.

    I've eaten a cricket to impress my kid at a Halloween science scary haunted house. They're okay except when the little chirping wings get stuck in the teeth!

    I don’t eat shrimp or lobster. I agree, they’re just bugs of the sea. 

    I’m not anti-GMO, though. Have no idea what that crowd thinks of this but they’re probably against it.

    Well, GMO is not an ideal source of nutrition. But as you have referred to, its one solution for over population.

    I have not eaten crickets but I have eaten deep fried, lightly salted grasshoppers.  Hands down, they are the best tasting (and probably healthiest) snack food I've ever had.  I'm totally serious.

    We are all going to die from something.  I am sure we do things a lot more risky than eating lab grown meat without even thinking about it.

    I cannot say the same.  Grilled shrimp is one of my favorite foods!  Followed by shrimp gumbo, fried shrimp, Cajun shrimp, shrimp scampi, coconut shrimp (in my best Forest Gump “Bubba” impression) :)

    If you can find them, yeah, give them a try.  I don't know where to get them around here.

    i can't bring myself to eat shrimp anymore. 

    I used to love shrimp and crab and other shell fish but I don't touch any of it anymore, mainly due to the over-harvesting of sea life, but also partly due to the levels of mercury found in shell fish and partly due to increased numbers of people developing allergies to shell fish.  My father became allergic and his reaction to it was very unpleasant.

    I served blue rare when I was 14 at a restaurant that also trained me to wake drunks by pinching their shoulder nerve. Christ!

    Really gross. I don't eat steak that often, but when I do it has to be slightly pinkish. I can't deal with rare.
