I worked in a citric acid plant. What was the source of citric acid? Corn syrup. It is easier to process than oranges or "citrus fruit". Chemically it is simply citric acid, no matter the source.

If the protein is nutritious and doesn't taste like bugs, why not? Your body doesn't care where the protein comes from. If it's used as protein powder then it's a very effective way of getting quality nutrition to people.

Nutrition is a big deal. People are starving or suffering from malnutrition. It's foolish and callous to discard healthy and nutritious food sources and insist that people should just die instead.

Again, I doubt that you'd be able to taste insects when you eat this the way that it's intended to be eaten (probably mixed into other food). Why make a fuss out of it?
