Recent discussions on social media have highlighted a controversial trend in media outlets promoting the consumption of insects as a sustainable food source. This debate was sparked by a segment from CBS News that suggested Americans could 'treat' themselves to cicada recipes, which led to CBS being roasted for their efforts. Critics argue that such suggestions are unlikely to gain widespread acceptance, citing cultural preferences and general distaste for the idea. The discourse has included sarcastic remarks about the media's role in pushing this narrative, with some users expressing skepticism about the practicality and appeal of incorporating bugs into their diet.
I don't think CBS News is having much luck with their attempt to get people to eat ze bugz. https://t.co/yefSTTuQrs

Listened to episode, hosts laugh that they've "seen those stories" about why people should be eating bugs but don't agree with them. Almost nobody does, so why do they keep running? https://t.co/w1w5W4tX1O
Ask yourself: Why is the media trying to get us to eat bugs? https://t.co/yUOUO4uWgy
Bugmen try and force others to eat bugs. It's not going to be a thing, as much as you want it to be. Only the most repulsive soyjak will upgrade their protein source to bugs. The rest of us will continue doing what we're doing. Sorry, Li Cohen. https://t.co/w6ZoGqHNM1 https://t.co/IOLcF605nn
