That's a wonderful way to look at it! I think exactly the same way.
People who are just picky eaters, (not based on any medical reasons),
bore me. "I don't like this" or "I hate that" are the two most common
things to hear one of them say about food.
I've tried insects. They taste like whatever they were cooked with or
in. Mostly it seems; garlic and oil or in the case of chocolate
covered ones, they taste like nothing but chocolate covered crunch.
Insects are eaten in most places as a substitute for the protein they
have no other way of acquiring. Its a survival thing, not a taste
thing.
I draw my own line at critters with venom still in them. Like
scorpions, spiders and snakes. No thanks. I don't care how safe it is
to eat, I'm not eating a King Cobra or any of its relatives.
