The new, certainly exponential variable, is the viral media growth in popularity of eating bugs. Viral(exponential) adoption of consuming bugs will increase the risk of (apparently already great) transmission of deadly diseases as an increasing rate.

This very conversation stands as of evidence of exponential adoption of disease transmission from bug consumption due to online media growth on the subject.

Sorry, could you point me to any exponential increase in the popularity of eating insects?

I don't really see how this conversation is proving anything of the sort. (If it did, could we please talk about eating a healthy balanced diet, too? I'd like to see an exponential increase in adoption of that, just from talking about it.)
