Human beings probably ate worms before they invented pork chops. I'm not talking about your little garden worms, I'm thinking of those big fat night-crawlers a foot long that come out to have sex on warm nights. A lot of meat on those babies! But you're probably right about the soil being too depleted to support many night-crawlers, and even if it isn't, it won't be long before capitalism corrupts them. They'll make fake ones out of plastic.

Well, there has been an insect apocalypse, so even the bugs are going away. Our own days are numbered.

I once saw a poster with a picture of a bee on it. Under the picture was written "When they go, we go."
