I mean, I didn't mean people were terrified of them - just didn't generally consider them cute/attracting/nice/edible. But we eat quite a lot of things because at one point desperate people had no other choice and found out it isn't even bad at all (think of lobster as a prison food in the 19th century).

And then there are people who just grew up with them around all the time or just simply different (some actually like spiders or snakes as pets, etc.). So yeah, matter of exposure is a big factor.

Or I don't know, kinks : ). I'm just talking about the average reaction.

I'm with you, I agree. 😊

I did not know about that, that's crazy to think of today!
