Since the topic of bugs came up in the lean meat discussion, it only seems
fair to continue the 
discussion.

Why do we have such an aversion to bugs? Clearly, bugs are a regular part of
the menu for 
some aboriginal peoples, even today. Many wilderness survival courses teach
you how to 
differentiate bugs that are good to eat from those which are not.

If bugs are such a normal part of certain peoples' diets, what happened to
cause us to be so 
grossed out by them? Is it based purely on cultural/sociological/religious
factors, or is there 
something evolutionary going on?
