Are insects good to eat?

Insects are a good source of energy protein, vitamins, and minerals for many people in the world. Leviticus 11:21-22 indicate that the locust (grasshopper) and its kind were edible food during Biblical times. Americans are generally turned off by the thought of eating insects, but we eat them unknowingly almost every day. Included in the commonly consumed group are silkworm pupae in the orient, termites in Africa, palmworms and giant waterbugs in Southeast Asia.
