    I like crab, bit I can’t stand soft shell crab. It’s a mouthfeel thing, and I expect a lot of insect food preparations are similar

      No, insects are ground into a powder and essentially used like flour. You probably wouldn’t even know you’re eating it if someone didn’t tell you. No mouth feel to speak of.

          Yeah, some people eat them that way, but when people talk about some vague conspiracy to get people to eat insects, they’re referring to the flour and being “forced” to eat things made with that instead of wheat flour.
