The right wing panic* over how the left wants to destroy hamburgers and make everyone eat bugs is hilarious. You already eat bugs and you love it, you just call them shrimp and lobster!
If you want to say that doesn’t count, you STILL probably eat bugs in any processed food that’s red and doesn’t have artificial dye in it. They’re listed as cochineal/carmine/crimson lake/natural red 4/E120 <- these are all the same bug!
* not saying that’s what you’re doing OP, that’s just the most common context I see it
As long as food is processed correctly either through farm animals or a lab I really don’t care what it is. Actual health should be the only priority above any profits or ambiguity.
It just doesn’t make sense anyways. Like, legumes are such a protein dense source of food, they can be grown worldwide and processed in many different ways… why would we go to the trouble of farming insects for nutrition when we could much more easily just use soy, peas, lentils and beans like we have done for literally 40,000+ years?

They’re just also in anything processed. Everything has an allowable amount of bugs. And it isn’t usually 0. https://www.fda.gov/food/current-good-manufacturing-practices-cgmps-food-and-dietary-supplements/food-defect-levels-handbook
