of our inability to control the world.

I actually never had a problem eating insects, before deciding to follow a vegetarian diet, I ate candies made with insects not often but probably a couple, few times a year plus a few - well I guess you'd say 'savory' dishes or raw.

And I actually had pangs of regret watching the kids eat the scorpion and meal worm lollipops I put in their stockings (Yes I'm that kind of uncle, I could not deprive them of the tradition due to my choice).

And when I learned about this die business, I read an article about it a couple months ago, I really felt let down, discouraged and annoyed.
