At a point in time in Things Fall Apart a plague of locust came and settled in Umuofia. All the people were very happy because locust only came once in a generation. They were very happy because I geuss they are very good to eat, or at least to them. That would be so nasty to me. I would never eat locust unless I was on the brink of starvation or something. That would just be gross. No offense to anyone who regularly eats locust or that's the only thing for them to eat and I really can't or shouldn't be talking because I have never eaten locust nor do I plan to but you never know, I geuss it could be good. But to me, at this point in time of my life, I would never eat locust. That would just be disgusting for me. I can understand how that might be good for them considering there main food is yams and that's what they eat every day. So locust would be exciting and good to them, to eat. Now we live in times were, in most countries, you have a choice of what you want to eat and you don't necessarily have to eat the same thing everyday. But any way, I hope I never have to eat locust because I don't think I would like it very much. But if it sustained my life and kept me alive, I geuss it wouldn't be to bad.
