Some arguments I hear are equivalent to ‘Ewwww I don’t like eating onions!’ Just think about it for a second and ask yourself if you know how cooking and preparing food in general is done.
But I also like trying new things.
If an Insect Fastfood/Restaurant Opened up Near You, Would You go Try it?

eating bugs is murder

I wouldn’t have taken you for a vegan.

Well, let me hear your thoughts on this.

@Intelligence_06
I would try it for sure. With all the junk food I have eaten in my life before I became vegetarian, insects cant possibly be more harmful.
My main concern would be price. I try to cut down my expenses as much as possible.

@Reece101
I'm not, just getting ahead of the game for vegans. It will be interesting to see how they justify killing insects.

@sadolite
I am sure the next thing they will do is to make insect-shaped vegan blocks of unknown stuff to replace it, with it being made oversize and resembling borderline nothing to the actual insect, while calling it the same thing.

Yes, then ushering in the anything can be anything you want it to be era.
If it's hygienic I'd try it out.
Insects suit factory farming conditions overall actually, they don't give a shit about freedom so I wouldn't have an ethical care beyond that they aren't unnecessarily dewinged and tortured like that (legless etc).
I'd want it to be largely natural insects farmed in a natural way and we are eating cooked dead bodies.
The main problem is they taste shit, I imagine it's one of the driest meat types out there even more than turkey. In fact I almost 'know' because insects are more similar to reptiles and I know people who have reptiles say they are even drier and blander than chicken.
Insects are rarely herbivores, meaning they are actually bad nutritionally and for digestion. Humans did not evolve to digest carnivores well. The propaganda saying insects are so good ignores how much less of a percent we'd get, they'd largely be fiber, as in their legs and equivalent of a skeleton would help shit pass through.
If we stuck specifically to herbivores the most obvious option is the well-liked butterfly and people will get all 'omg they're too cute' based in their animal rights. To be fair, I kind of agree not with that but I would not want such creatures dewings and deformed to keep them in place while farming.
No.

As far as herbivorous options go, grasshoppers are herbivorous and already being eaten in many places. As for butterflies, it makes much more sense to eat the caterpillar before it wastes a bunch of time and calories developing into a butterfly.
The bug museum in New Orleans used to serve crickets
Nope

@Reece101
Probably not,
I don't like bugs. (Due to nurture)
I doubt they're 'that healthy.
I try 'not to think about how some foods are prepared.

@sadolite
If I understand you correctly, then yes, it is.

Lobsters and prawns are related to bugs and are bug shaped, I
eat those, also I am rather partial to a bit of bee vomit on my crumpets … so
why not.

@Elliott
Crumpets and Honey.
Yum Yum.

@Elliott
I prefer chicken periods on toast myself, with some salt and pepper.

Polytheist-Witch,
I've been there and it was so cool! I ate the cricket cookies, however, in general, I loved both that museum and the city. Not from there, but favorite tourist destination I've ever been.
Generally,
I would definitely try it. I love new foods. If I like it and don't get icked out at the idea, I would even make it a regular place.

It will be interesting to see how they [vegans] justify killing insects.
Not all vegans are against the universal consumption of meat and animals. They are, at baseline, against their personal consumption of meat and animal products
