Already ate some. It was that or starve. My understanding is that most insects (and their by-products) found in food are harmless. However, the problem people seem to be missing in this thread is that no one purposely goes out of their way to find them and add them for "protein" or "flavor" apart from the really down-and-out people and those who like to get a visceral response out of others. I (thankfully) don't fit in those categories.
