The really interesting aspect of this discussion is that none of us is 
hungry enough to eat our pets.  Were any of us really starving, there would 
be a huge difference in attitude.  Hunger is considered the all-powerful 
driving force in life, and all animals, including man, would eat anything to 
beat starving to death.  None of us have been hungry enough.....

The very concept of eating insects repulses me, but ask me again should 
there ever be a famine in the USA.
