Humans have eaten insects for as long as there have been humans. No one's expected to eat them, they are just approved for eating under food regulations in the EU now. It's highly unlikely they'll ever stop labeling them properly because insects can cause the exact same allergic reaction that shellfish do, given how similar they are to each other.

Fun fact: shellac has been in food for a while, especially those shiny chocolates.

And you've got carmine as well - we've been eating bugs all along!

Civilization, first in the form of religions, has established all sort of rules against practices of primitive tribes that were guided by necessity.

We are now throwing overboard humanism and start to make lives worse for the masses while the 1% who live in castles in Tuscany can buy their organic food locally.
