I’m reading Daniella Martin’s Edible, on how eating insects is good for humanity, and I’m pretty close to ordering some [wax worms](http://www.sandiego waxworks.com/) for eating (both live and fried, because I may as well). The thought of it all makes me somewhat squeamish, but that squeam is obviously learned — there are other cultures that don’t have the same hangups — and it’ll be interesting to see if I can unsqueam myself in this regard.
