I think you're overstating the case. A lot of insects require minimal
preparation, e.g., light roasting or a little seasoning. And the skills and
knowledge are already readily available on the 'net. Google entomophagy.
And check out http://girlmeetsbug.com/ . Also, the practice is already
common in many parts of the world. It's just not common in the "first
world".

Obviously some people will have a hard time getting over their lifelong
insect-revulsion conditioning, but I don't think it's necessary to get
everyone on board.
