Beautiful!

I grew up around dairy farms. All the cows ever did was to eat plants (mostly grass) and chew their cuds. This was back when dairy cows were pastured.

Just to mention currently I am in Oaxaca, Mexico. Grasshoppers are a common snack, and they are considered part of Oaxaca's cultural cuisine. There are people selling varieties of grasshoppers all over the markets. Flying ants (in season) are also part of Oaxaca's culinary culture, as they are made into a sauce which I am told has 'an earthy flavor'. People often ask me if they are kosher, and I do believe the answer is yes (although I'm not certain, Natan if you have any information please add.) But I personally can't bring myself to try these things, it just doesn't feel right to me to eat.
