"Eating insects such as wasps and grasshoppers has health benefits and should be encouraged in the Western diet, scientists have said.
Eating insects is good for the environment as insects require forest to be preserved
The bugs are rich in protein and some minerals and are lower in cholesterol than beef or pork.
Research carried out at the National Autonomous University of Mexico found that 1,700 species are eaten in at least 113 countries across the world, usually as a substitute for meat."

I'm sure we eat more than we think when we hit the local drive though.

Finally someone is talking sense.

Feels great to eat that, which will eat you in the end.

I would eat them daily in a heartbeat if I could buy them at my local grocery. But for now, I'm not going to waste hours in my backyard to try find enough insects to equal up to a small snack.
