Your dislike of eating bugs may be 9,000 years old
Why it matters
Research traces aversion to eating insects back roughly 9,000 years, suggesting the disgust response predates most cultural and religious food taboos rather than being caused by them. A fun data point for anyone working on alternative-protein or novel-food messaging: this framing suggests the resistance is deeper and older than typical category-education campaigns assume.
