I think another important consideration on the morality of eating insects is the number of insect which die in the production of our fruits and vegetables. Almost all crops, including organically grown ones, involve some use of pesticides. Does it make it more moral to kill insects if we are competeing with them for food? Plus many insects die at harvest - imagine the thousands of squashed insects when a field of wheat is harvested.
I can just imagine your son's reaction. Of all the dried bugs we work with, the mealworms are always the ones that look the most alive as they're so lightweight and slide around heaps if you just bump the bowl. Will be trying out your recipe soon, thanks.
