If you look at it overall humans will eat practically anything but one major issue that prosperity has led to is people being pickier. When was the last time you heard of an American eating brains or blood sausage?

That's partially because brains and blood sausage still look pretty gross and weird to most people though. I've seen people grind crickets up into a flour and mix it with ordinary flour to make a high protein bread that tastes just like normal bread, something like that would probably catch on a lot easier than eating whole bugs.

Most Americans eat too much protein, carbs, and fat because they're fatties. Eating a large proportion of your calories as protein is helpful however because it's satiating and generally will lead to a lower overall caloric consumption, that's why low carb diets generally work even though the assertion that "calories don't matter" while on them is totally false. Also a higher amount of protein is recommended if you do any resistance training and if you don't you really ought to anyways.
