I’m listening to the Bible app on my phone every morning, and I’m on Leviticus right now. There are a few lines where it states that it is forbidden to eat anything that swarms on the ground, anything that goes on it’s belly, or anything with many legs, because they are detestable. Is this why the demons are trying to make us eat bugs all of a sudden? That was immediately my thought upon hearing the passages, that they really are trying to perverse everything related to God.

There are lots of 'rules' for the ancient Hebrews for their own safety without a long explanation they couldnt understand back then anyway.
For example the rules regarding funerals were to protect them from diseases. How could you explain viruses or bacteria to people back then. They wandered in the desert for 40 years without sanitation. It is said not to eat meat from clefted animals like pigs. But more because pigs are dirty animals and care needs to be taken to prepare those meats properly and the ancient Hebrews might not be able to cook it at a certain temp or length of time to eat it safely.
Despite reasonings I will never eat bugs, anything that crawls, or any animal known to eat humans.
