		If entomophagy does become more common, Kondo said today's genetic technology may allow science to develop a new line of super insects -- larger grasshoppers, for example.

	CED1: Closing Notes
		Dr Hogue described this distinction as follows: "Entomophagy as practiced to complete the regular diet of an Indian tribe is considered applied entomology; however, where entomophagy occurs for recreational or ceremonial reasons, it assumes a place within cultural entomology.

		His publication is dedicated to the use of insects from an applied perspective and I am sure many of you already subscribe.
