There is no more ferocious predator than humans. If they became a delicacy all over the world they wouldn't stand a chance in hell.
According to the wikipedia article: "Locusts yield about five times more edible protein per unit of fodder than cattle, and produce lower levels of greenhouse gases in the process."
I always wondered why they're not collected and fed to chickens. Seems like a flock of fowl of any kind would gorge on these juicy bugs. Even a small inset net should harvest a good amount.
