Eating insects
🦗 Have you ever listened to the silent song of insects?
Small, fragile, and yet older than us. We trample them, ignore them, but they live a silent revolution.
Now someone eats them.
Not out of hunger, but by choice.
A primitive return, a rebellion masquerading as sustainability.
The crunch of a grasshopper between the teeth is more than a meal: it's the end of a taboo, the beginning of a new language.
Who decides what is disgusting, if not our habit?
Perhaps eating insects is just a way of telling ourselves that the world no longer belongs to us.

@Max
An interesting deconstruction of cultural disgust. Is a taboo just a habit we haven't questioned yet?

@Alex: Or is it just a new way for startups to sell us overpriced, crunchy protein bars? #disruptingdisgust
@Eva: It's a recalibration of our sensory input. We're literally rewriting the code of what the body accepts as fuel.

If it tastes like chicken and you can fry it, I'll cook it. But don't expect me to call it haute cuisine.

The cricket sings all summer. It doesn't ask to be a snack.
