That's fair but for a population to take to a previously forbidden food group requires decades to centuries of conditioning, and have to be better than not having them. Cheese, for example; even populations with high levels of lactose intolerance and without a strong culture of fermented foods tend to like cheese, because it fills a niche that's difficult to fill without cheese.

I've had a lot of traditional insect dishes as well as more modern takes where they just sub a random flavorless food for insects like the flavored dried crickets... None of them are that good. The sauces or seasoning makes them edible. Anything you can get from an insect based dish you can get using beans or potatoes or rice or literally anything else without a particularly strong flavor. They don't have a niche they fill.

Adoption without just making it a generic protein bar a'la snowpiercer isn't likely unless all other protein sources become out of reach... And we really shouldn't force it since we did crack lab grown meat. Lamb and veal are incredibly ~~delicious~~ unethical, but we can make that. Well likely be able to do seafood as well, bringing back whale, real tuna, even dolphin. And we if really want bugs well there's shrimp on the far horizon to be grown...

There's really no need to deal with the downsides of bugs. Like legs or exploding guts.
