It's easy: bugs look icky. I wouldn't eat them. Grind them up out of sight and use them as an ingredient? Suddenly I'm fine with it.

I've purposely eaten insects while traveling. for me it is hard to get over the fact that they are not 'cleaned' - you eat everything in their digestive tracts. I intellectually understand that is safe, but my conditioning makes it hard to handle. taste and texture can be challenging once you get past grasshoppers and ants (for my palate of course).
