It seems that requires already possessing a state driving license

Best comedy I've seen in a while (plus random political rambling)

when the grocery store is empty the long irons come out

My intention was to raise awareness so that people can avoid eating the bugs. I didn't have any commentary one way or the other, I literally only quoted the abstract.

I think you're reading between lines that aren't there.

If I'm already muted I guess my reply doesn't matter

But for the record I'm quoting the abstract, not endorsing the study

What makes you think I'm promoting this?

This study examines prospects of edible whole insect and processed insect-based food in Germany and investigates determining factors for acceptance...

The main results show a low willingness to try insects among Germans and the prevalence of psychological and personality barriers to consumption, such as disgust and food neophobia. Focusing on processed insect products is shown to be the most promising strategy to implement entomophagy, as an essential barrier to consumption is the visibility of the insects.

This study examines the acceptance of insect-based foods by consumers in Germany. The nationwide online survey (N = 516) focused on which factors have the greatest influence on the willingness to consume an insect burger and buffalo worms....

Hierarchical multiple regressions showed that food disgust was the most important predictor for the acceptance of edible insects.... The high influence of food disgust shows that not only the explicit disgust for insects is decisive for the consumer readiness of insect-based products, but also the domain specific disgust for food.

Despite the strong sustainability awareness of our participants, and contrary to our expectations, sustainability consciousness did not prove to be a significant predictor for the willingness to consume insects.

Implications for marketing strategies and educational interventions will be discussed.

I think New Englanders have shown themselves to be more eager than Arabians to kill a goose laying golden eggs.
