It certainly seems to make sense to include these "superfoods" as part of a healthy RPD and, for many here at least, it doesn't appear to be at all repulsive! I still don't think I could do it and, fortunately, see no need as long as the standard RPD fare is nutritionally sufficient and available.
Yes sure Michael. But obviously the repulsion is just cultural, as is the repulsion people on standard cooked diets exhibit usually when invited for the first time to eat raw meat and fat. A similar repulsion is often observed when trying to eat the inner parts of edible crabs. I like some these parts of the crab even more than the muscle, absolutely delicious, once one overcomes the initial cultural repulsion.
From a purely rational point of view, if culture were not of major relevance, one cannot see why it should be less repulsive to eat raw oysters which just so happens to be an accepted traditional practice in many countries.
As to insects I've never tried maggots. Yet I find grasshoppers very tasty, comparable to the best liver pastes ( "patés de foie") prepared traditionally here in France.
IMO it's quite interesting to attempt to "re-wire" our brains to get rid of these inappropriate cultural biases.
