I'm not sure how I feel about this.

7. I thought it was a shellfish/kosher thing.

In the 1870s grasshoppers swarmed over 1,000 miles north to south and about 100 miles wide in the US. They ate everything, even paint, fabric, saddles, etc. Thousands starved since two years of crops were eaten by them. They crunched under your feet and crawled up your clothes. Only a few people chose to eat the bugs, even though they are high in protein and are common in other cultures. A lot more would have been saved if they could just bring themselves to eating the insects.
