WHY IS THE YOUTUBE ALGORITHM TRYING SO HARD RIGHT NOW TO GET ME TO EAT BUGS

[jericho]

The problem isn't the bugs. The problem is that the people pushing the bugs aren't the ones that will be eating them.

As someone allergic to shellfish, I am also allergic to shelled insects because they have the same shell protein that causes the allergy. So, nothing would make me eat a bug.

[A_real_Wizard]

You know not too long ago, the idea of eating bugs in the future would have been a dystopian nightmare.

[JFSmith-nbhf]

I'm 66, I've been riding motorcycles since I was 16. I've eaten more than my share of bugs.😆

Oh no, he’s now joined the “eat the bugs” team, there is no hope left

[shawnyadeadhomie]

Cookies don't have meat in them normally though, so that's not really replacing meat.

[mapache-ehcapam]

As long as the insect is not in full insect form I don't mind it
