Yes, you should eat insects, not just because I think you should but because I am an ethical consequentialist and I know that if you eat insects it will make the world a slightly better place

Just trust me on this one

Has anyone considered that if you’re seeing a bunch of stuff about eating bugs it's… just that there are more “informative” media outlets that need content now (but don’t have a geographically concentrated audience to go for local stories) and it’s easy and interesting? I remember occasional references on PBS or like Discover magazine growing up, same thing.
