I understand the allure of free food, but this is ridiculous. Who the hell wants to eat one of these vile, red eyed verminous bugs? NOw they carry heavy metals! Ugh! Vile!
And folks yell at me for enjoying the savory goodness of foi gras.
Eating...cicadas...?? o.O
I seriously have to wonder about the intelligence level of the US is people are going around eating these things.

Doctor: "Duh!"
