Recently having joined the fraternity of people who have eaten bugs, I can tell you that I don’t anticipate these being on the menu regularly in our home any time soon. Ever, actually. That doesn’t stop a small group of people out there from continuing to argue that insects are the culinary future. So much so that someone has given thought to the reality that our current Western utensils are not necessarily the best suited for gorging ourselves on bugs.
Enter the BugBug set of new utensils specifically for eating bugs. The pincers are intriguing, as are the spear-tipped chopsticks. Although this is just a proto-type set, I don’t anticipate being an early adopter if and when they become available for purchase. I prefer to continue dining on larger critters!

If people will be forced to consume bugs [world shortage of real food?] the bugs should be seriously and heavily processed. i.e.: dried, ground into meal, mixed with other food-like substances, and formed into steaks, chops, and strips.

I would argue first of all that food shortage is not a real issue. Food *waste*, perhaps. Politics, economics, and sin, definitely. But when we pay our farmers *not* to grow food, it seems as though a lack of ability to produce adequate food isn’t really the issue.
On the other hand, we’re all eating bugs already – it’s just that we don’t usually realize it. But the government does, and has, not surprisingly, regulated it! Read if you dare….
