âEntotarianismâ is a protologism coined online in the 2010s. Itâs the practice of eating insects + arachnids (and sometimes larvae/worms, myriapods & isopods) while abstaining from meat.
All these animals are often colloquially called âbugsâ in America even though only certain insects are true bugs by definition.
Adherents of entotarianism may label themselves âentotariansâ at risk of bemusing others since the term is unfamiliar (entotarianism & similar terms are so rarely searched that you canât even run them through GoogleTrends)
Entotarian is a blend of âéntomonâ (âinsectâ in Greek) w/ âvegetarianââmatching other diet terms that have the same pattern but are more established, popular & understood. {Examples: vegetation+ -arian (as in agrarian)= Vegetarian, pesce+vegetarian= Pescetarian, lac/lacticinia +vegetarian= Lactarian, fruit+vegetarian= Fruitarian} BUT this term is informal slang & unestablished since itâs niche jargon. No mainstream dictionaries list it nor have any prevalence studies been done. Itâs likely very rare since entomophagy (insect consumption) is common in regions where protein-sources are scarcer. Adopting a non-medical dietary-restriction is rarer in these areas than in affluent countries where more people have the luxury to choose to reject an entire food group.
Entotarianism is rare in the west due to low-accessibility of bug-products & low-willingness to eat bugs.
Entotarian: âYou guys should try my energy bars made from ground crickets made into a flour!â
Vegans, Vegetarians, Pescetarians, Flexitarian Meat-Limiters, Omnivorous Meat-Eaters, Carnivorous Meat-Lovers: âEww, no freaking wayâ
Entotarian: âBillions of people eat insects! And have you heard of entotarianism? Hear me out before you say it sounds gross and weird.â
Everyone: âIt sounds gross and weird.â
Entotarian: âTheyâre organic, meatless, low-carb, high-protein, high in essential aminos, high in antioxidants, highly-prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, carbon-neutral, sustainably-produced and humanely-raised! Theyâre also a viable source of zinc, iron, B5, B7, B12, good fats, insoluble fiberâ¦
Everyone: âNoâ **Walks away revolted**

The sugar industry.
The term formed as a direct comparison to âBig Tobaccoâ because both industries are shady, fiendish and a major threat to public health.
Big sugar has us right where they want us
