"They're good," one kid said. "If you eat them you will grow up to be healthy and strong."
They may look gross, but lots of creepy critters are perfectly healthy to eat. Most need to be cooked first. But you can eat meal worms, while they're still squirming.
People have been munching on insects for thousands of years, everything from caterpillars and scorpions to tarantulas.
You might just find you like the flavor. Even if you find the sight of them disgusting.
