Why are Americans squicked by the idea of eating insects, for that matter? Anything one can say about a large beetle one can pretty much say about a crustacean. There are all sorts of odd cultural taboos about food. I guess very few people want a cow when they're kids, but lots of them always wanted a pony or a pet bunny (which really does taste just like chicken).
