Maybe it's time to try...

...that "plant-centered" diet you've been thinking about. From the Times today, "Insects as Food? Trying to Change 'Ick' to 'Yum' ":

 Johan Van Dongen sells insects.

A bright, engaging man, Mr. Van Dongen is head of the meat department at Sligro, a kind of Costco on the edge of this trim Dutch town. Besides steaks, poultry and others kinds of meat, he offers mealworms, buffalo worms, locusts and other insects, as well as prepared products containing insects like Bugs Sticks and Bugs Nuggets — not for pets, but as a source of protein for people.
