They make bug patties out of midges in some places, but the conditions that allow for enough of those for meals only occurs maybe once(for a few days) in an entire growing season. Then it's back to cooking roots and catching fish.

Anyways, we already effectively eat huge insects in the form of crustaceans(crabs, lobsters, shrimp, crawdads). And those are actually big enough to give decent output(protein, fat) for our inputs(fuel, labour, tech). So the bug-eating advocates can go enjoy their delicious Cockroach Milk with Crunchy Grasshopper Biscuits, and I'll have to contend with my Spicy Seafood Gumbo🍲
