This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because:
This is not a duplicate article:
The first is a culture-related article, the second is an article based on nutritional science, food production and food law. For the first article you would search for scientific literature in the area of cultural studies, psychology, anthropology. For the latter you would search for scientific literature in the area of nutritional and food science, food technology, agricultural technology, etc.
To develop the whole topic under an article focused on the culture and process of eating insects is just misleading. We need a second article Insects as food (with Edible insects redirecting to it), just describing the food aspects (nutritional profile, farming/production, authorization). I started an article here, TheLongTone reverted my edits. This article should stay, both have to be developed seperated from another. -- AlienFood ( talk) 15:10, 24 October 2018 (UTC)
Given the change in the article's focus, and its equation to 'Edible insects', it should be moved to that title. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 09:32, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for allowing my contributions! Happy editing everyone, EaglesEyes1 ( talk) 04:01, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
there are many places where insects are eaten regular. like
/info/en/?search=Casu_martzu https://www.wikihow.com/Cook-Tarantula-Spiders
the aborigini people dig up roots with catapilar larves. there is a lot off history with insects on our plate. Perhaps we got our first B12 from insects like wurm cq larves in fruits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.149.83.125 ( talk) 12:55, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
No criticism section implying that everyone is happy to be eating mealworms. Also, what about labeling? Will all these insects be clearly named on the ingredients list? 79.166.3.165 ( talk) 00:11, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
The very start of the article mentions 2 billion people depending on insects as a food source, and yet... does not seem to, at any point, discuss the insects those people consume, nor how they are prepared. There are sections on taste and food safety, but these likewise discuss exclusively insect species of Europe and North America (mostly outside Mexico, at that), not a single thought given to the insect species used to far greater success elsewhere in the Americas, Africa or Asia. If I had the knowledge and reference base to amend this I'd have gone editing myself, but as it stands this article reads less like an article on how humans use insects as food, and more as a several page long talk from a company invested in selling insects as food in the West specifically. 62.166.184.209 ( talk) 05:01, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
The map is very wrong. Just for example: There are edible insects all over Europe, some are even mentioned in the article. I don't know what data was used to make it but there are so many issues with it, it should be removed. -- 217.240.192.86 ( talk) 00:31, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
