Why draw the line at insects? How can you not understand someone wanting to avoid local food and then say you'd avoid local food (such as bugs)?

In maybe a two square mile area (five-ish square kilometers) of Bangkok, Thailand, there's Pizza Hut, Hard Rock Cafe, McDonald's, Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, Sizzler, KFC, Outback, and Au Bon Pain, among many others.
