Cicada FAQs

With all the fuss Letterman has been making, I had to find out more about the coming cicada "invasion".

So I checked out Cicada FAQs and found this quote: "Periodical cicadas are best eaten when they are still white (teneral), and they taste like cold canned asparagus. Like all insects, cicadas have a good balance of vitamins, are low in fat, and the females are especially high in protein. They are also Atkins friendly!"

Great! I wonder if Letterman could mention that little factoid. It might thin this batch of cicadas if all the Atkins cult members started to eat them as a protein source.
