This is not good. I have nothing against the free and voluntary consumption of insects. If you're into it, be my guest! I am against forced consumption. But, given the amount of famine and starving children in africa, it would be interested to see if something could be done with the locust swarms to get cheap protein for the people.
 

Basically they are distant cousins of shrimps prawns and lobsters.

If I did not have food, I'd welcome insect food over nothing at all. In fact I've had grass hopper (deep fried) and it was actually quite good. I also had scorpion when I went to china once, and it tasted like a crunchy shrimp.

Yup. Ive never bothered, but that's what they say.
