Yea, it was played as almost a "Soylent Green is People!" sort of reveal, but I couldn't help but just think it was pretty much the only reasonable way to handle food in the setup. If it tastes good enough, and you've gotten used to eating it, what's really wrong? It's not like it's some ethical horror to be eating bugs.

In fact (AFAIK) in some countries outside of the US it's not even uncommon/surprising. That's what I thought was weird: the director was Korean. IIRC there's Asian cultures that eat scorpions or other similar stuff.
