Well, I think it's because there's a lot of people out there who have some conspiracy concerning the "elites" of our society promoting some sorta "humiliating" and or "disgusting" thing for the lower class, while they make all the "actual food" expensive and can dine and wine in luxury, whilst they simultaneously use that as an excuse for feeling superior to the lower class. Imagine some rich fuck using "bugeater" as an insult pertaining to one's class.
Don't get me wrong, eating bugs is something good overall for humanity. There's just a lot of problems in trying to make it palatable for both the upper and lower classes right now.
That sounds like a lot of effort to have an extra insult up their sleeve, also it would backfire almost instantly since the demand shifts would in a market economy lead to the bug protein becoming the expensive rich people food while traditional meat products plunge in prices with no consumer base to match the current supply.
