Every single mortal thinks differently, due to their mentality & environment that they lived in. No one is right...or wrong. It's about sharing perspectives & scientific facts that Humanity may progress & evolve under any dire circumstances.
For those whom wish to spread fear that this approval from our SG govt will eventually lead to one eating even dirty vermin like ugly & unsightly cockroaches, others can similarly EXTRAPOLATE that such approval will eventually lead to eating dog meat & even Human meat - horrific cannibalism. Thus stop the extrapolation thru fears. One step at a time & Humanity DO have choices & voting power.
Based upon SCIENTIFIC FACTS, insects can be eaten, so long as it is PROPERLY washed & cooked - boiled or fried, as NO biological organic germs or virus that exists or carried by such insects will survive such heat.
Once done, it becomes a different State of Matter - carbs or proteins to energized the body needs, broken down by our Human Digestive system & any waste will be discarded from the Human body, as our ancient ancestors had done whom lived in jungles, caves & deserts had done & given us our todays, otherwise Humankind would had starved & gone extinct eons ago.
The only time the insignificant nobody me had ever fed on exotic foods was during NS, when MREs was long gone & missions yet to be completed in non-Human habitat lands. It was either to starve to death & fail the missions, or properly wash & boil such exotic foods for its mineral contents to energize our bodies to complete missions...
To be honest, after my term in NS, I NEVER tried feeding on exotic foods, not even from best restaurants over bear claws, tiger penis, etc. Such is due to my upbringing in Singapore, whereby mainstream & commonly accepted food is totally sanitized & ready to cook, from supermarkets & hawker centers. None needs to even slaughter a chicken to eat meat in Singapore.
Thus, with the current approval over insects, a citizen still has the choice - to eat or not to eat such foods. At least 98% of restaurants & food centers offers main stream food & not exotic foods in Singapore. Thus no need the foolish panic.
However, if one still desires to be dependent on mainstream prepared food, then one MUST support Peace & Stability at all costs, otherwise if chaos ensue, then let's not forget the Syria Civil war whereby starving citizens had to feed on stringy meat cats to survive.......
