But, Don, where would I have learned it from since everyone in my family ate
the fat except me?  I had no other point of reference in early life, and as
far back as I can remember I've never liked the taste or texture of fat on
meat.

Bugs?  No.  But quite a few times recently I have eyed some grasshoppers
with curiosity and deep thoughts about paleo food and human evolution.  I
could probably "stomach" a crunchy insect better than, say, a big fat grub
worm if for no other reason than texture alone.

Do tell--have you tried any bugs yourself?  Anyone else?
