Delicious or Disgusting? The need to eat is a universal human motive. However, culture influences what we eat, when we eat, and how we eat (Rozin, 1996, 2007). This upscale restaurant in Mexico City serves chapulines (grasshoppers, left) and gusanos del maguey (caterpillars). High in protein and readily available, insects are standard fare in many countries.
