Thank you Schecter. I didn't know how to do that. But I guess this makes it a little easier for people to see the movie. 🙂

Poor insects... why should we kill them for food, when we already have the infrastructure to process cattle, chickens, pigs and sheep.

I would be willing to try some of that stuff.

Because it costs a tenth produce a pound of caterpillars then it does a pound of beef.

And I've acctually tried mealworms. They're crunchy and not too bad. Mine were bbq flavored. 🙂

Prime rib, burgers and skirt steaks... oh my!

No wonder the "White man" took your lands.

Hey, with modern technology we can take the bugs and press/shape them into steaks and the like. And hey man, we had VENISON and BUFFALO and all sorts of other foods.

So take that you burnt bastard 😉
(Kidding, I joke like that. I could tell you were being sarcastic....at least I hope you were. O_o)

well, many of us have eaten arthropods. if we can drool over giant bugs, may as well try out the little ones.

Naa... it's a common fact that the polution in the oceans, lakes and streams add that special taste, no roach could compare

Yeah, I feed meal worms to the box turtles at work, and I will not be reduced to eating the same thing as them.

I don't know... I guess a craka-wop-spick (in no particular order).

ok so your caucazoid? But you know, cracka shouldnt be too offensive, I thought it ment like a cracker and well...saltines are pretty pale. oh...and what's a wop?

So if cracka's are white people can black people be chocolatay and caramel colored peeps be carmies and asians be butters and red skins be tomata's?

"Cracker" was originally used as a shortened form of "whip-cracker," a reference to the sound made when plantation owners would, well, crack their whips.

I'm not sure if it means "saltine" now. I'd rather be a Ritz, to be honest.
