And some positive PR on how bugs are healthy. Some cool pixar movies about how bugs are great and we are there. But I guess this is a great thing for everybody!?:)

Not sure they could positively spin eating bugs.

They could however, make eating bugs out to be owning the libs and get at least half the population on board. The same half that would sooner see the atmosphere burn before giving up pork and beef at that.

I make no apologies for my previous statement, as I'm under the impression lefties are more likely to go vegan/bugs than the right. Gotta know what you're dealing with when you propose massive societal change.

I think left is more open to change by design no? :) I think this is a matter of perception- a lot of stuff that is okay today was considered bad before, but eating might just be a more extreme case, but extreme times extreme measures maybe?:)

It's a great thing if everyone is eating bugs. Not the rich eating beef and the poor eating bugs heh

Yep sure. I am okay with bugs and probably everyone will or even should be okay. I think this is a matter of perception. I am from the place where it is okay to eat horses and dogs (but in minority still) and oh do I have a looks in my life abroad hehe but for me it is absolutely the same being lamb or dog and vast majority of people think I am totally wrong:)
