Had any fried grasshoppers today?

Did you know that 80% of the world's population eats insects and arachnids (BUGS!!!!) as a regular part of their diet? I didn't before I read a book my brother got from the library the other day. I was completely disturbed (especially at the part about roasted grasshoppers, because as some of you may know I have a deep fear of grasshoppers). The reason you may not have known this before is because entomophagy is no longer widely practiced in North America and Europe.
I'm considering doing a report on this for school. After all, it's a topic that interests me, in a disturbed kind of way.
