God put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden with delicious fruits and vegetables and all kinds of good things to eat. Fish in the water, fowl in the air, and God had Adam name all the animals and for him to be a good steward of the earth. I don't recall anything in the Bible stating that we are to eat bugs. I do however know that the Bible said they sacrificed many animals and cooked lamb and beef for the priests in the Old Testament among other food sources. But this BUG EATING is not my forte. I was not born a lizard, frog or any other reptile or amphibian. I am made in the image of God. I am woman. Amen.
John the Baptist ate locusts and honey. Not saying we’re supposed to, but I always thought it was interesting that the Bible specifically mentioned his diet. Something about it was important enough to write down, but I could never figure out why.

Debated in some circles that the locusts mentioned could be the bean pods from a type of locust tree native to that region. Also known as a carob tree
Oh that makes way more sense. I’m still puzzled by why that line was included, but it being a local vegetable is probably correct. Thanks!
There is always meaning in little things in the scriptures. Sometimes they are the hardest to figure out, but the search is worth it.
Ah, that's right. I forgot about the locust tree! Makes sense.
