We are at the top of the food chain. We aren't meant to eat bugs. At worst, we should eat things that eat bugs.

Insects are pervasive in rotting meat. A human should not be eating insects. That is poverty- both financial and moral poverty.

Just saying it's gross and you don't want to do it is a lot more reasonable - this is basically nonsense, in terms of the underlying biology. Not only is there nothing special about eating creatures at higher trophic levels, but essentially all the animals we do eat are indeed primary consumers.
