As farming took off,people might have spurned bugs as mere pests that destroyed their crops. Populations grew, and the West became urbanized, weakening connections with our foraging past.People simply forgot their bug-rich history.Today, for people not accustomed to entomophagy,bugs are just an irritant.They sting and bite and infest our food. We feel an "ick factor"associated with them and are disgusted by the prospect of cooking insects.
