Would not want to kiss that chick, YUCK..
I hope this is a Joke, were not living in a desperation situation here in the USA. Last hope if you are in dire need like an emergency stuck with no food in the middle of nowhere.

My girl friend in high school liked to say,
"Eat a toad 1st thing in the morning and nothing worse will pass your lips all day."
Then she would insist on halving the tension of morning wood. . .
The bug thing though, I don't think she would have gone down that road. She liked real meat and was hard on gear so. . .
The graphic of the changing skull is the best part of the video.
She needs a partner. . . .?

She can't pronounce El Capitan properly and she showed herself on a different wall while talking about El Cap, so I think she's putting us on.

Like it or not, insects are going to figure significantly in the future for providing protein to feed the world.
Still, not my cup of tea -- but, apparently, the most expensive Tea known is made of insect feces!

The edible insect movement is still pretty new, but it is a rapidly expanding sector of the sustainable food movement. It may be 5 years out, but they'll be on your grocery store shelves faster than you might think.
I live in El Paso and therefore had to shoot the promo film at Hueco - with the added bonus of making the film extra ridiculous.
Getting bugs on the menu, one couch sprayer at a time ...

If you've ever been to a Oaxacan restaurant and seen chapulines on the menu, you can try it for yourself. It's grasshopper. Eating bugs is pretty prevalent in some cultures, just not ours, especially, like Tami notes, when you've got In N Out and other pretty salty, fatty stuff for very little cash. Still, better bugs than Soylent Green.

Folk have been eating bugs for a loooong time. Some of them on purpose.

Wouldn't at all surprise me if food scientists come up with some ingenious ways to hide the bug tastes in a variety of different foods. Not that I am volunteering to be a taster, mind you!
As for that "climber" in the video, something about it(her)screams BS to me.

Hmmm in the Video shes poses busting a 5.2 wide crack solo, dragging a rope up connected to a SP with no back up knots, then mysteriously changed to a non solo 5.6 belayed lead. She has big wall skills?
