They say that in Asian cultures they eat insects. But the truth gives me the creeps. I remember an aunt who was preparing a bread and she put meat and cheese in it and it had an exquisite smell and when she bit it with her teeth it had a spoonful inside, she started to scream and vomit and spent several days sick. But everything is according to conception and family tradition. I still don't eat that food and one day I ate it unintentionally mixed with some food. I respect everyone who has a different opinion.
I'd not want to eat insects either, I'd rather chew my own arm off, but in a survival situation when it's life or death eating insects is probably preferable to eating one's own arm off.
