I know people like to talk about edible insects mainly in terms of environmental outcomes but having tried insects from many cuisines and cultures I think the new world of flavors they come with is underrated. There's a big ick factor for many but if you can get yourself to try it you just might be surprised.

My favorite was freshly prepared (no roasted in a factory long ago) hormigas culonas in Colombia. We tried them rare, medium, and well done with different dishes and the flavors were wonderful but very hard to compare.

Good freaking christ. Humans will really do anything not to eat plants, huh?
Plants are living organisms, too.
