Locusts as food

When the Bible says that John the Baptist ate a diet of locusts and honey (Mark 1:6), some understand that his diet was vegetarian and that the locusts referred to was carob, which is also called locust bean.
BUT- locusts were permitted by the Levitical law as a clean meat.
Locusts and grasshoppers are perhaps the best known insects in the Bible. Scripture contains about a dozen words that describe them, indicating either different species or maybe different stages of their development.
Locusts are prepared as food in various ways. Sometimes they were pounded, mixed with flour and water and made into cakes. They were also boiled, roasted or stewed in butter and then eaten.
They were also eaten in a preserved state by the Assyrians.
The desert locust (Heb- arbeh) was the locust of the Egyptian plague (Ex.10:4-5). Not only was the arbeh destructive, it was edible.
The solam is the "bald locust" of Leviticus 11:22 (KJV) and was also allowed for food.

HEY ALL
yes I have heard the the locust that JOHN THE BAPTIST
ate was carob beans from a carob tree.
But I have also heard that some S.D.A. members in
AFERICAN Countries also eat grasshoppers and locust
the insects.
I guess will we have to wait until we get to heaven
to find out

Once we get to heaven will we find out that only vegetarians are there?
Oh ... I forgot ... Jesus was not a vegetarian.
Now I remember ... Veges are a new age invention.

Apparently ... Jesus did not follow Adam and Eve.
I call myself a Christian or a follower of Jesus Christ.

Yes, Jesus ate meat, well at least fish, but we can be assured that he was a good Jew who followed the diet plan given to Moses
And maybe His mother gave him carob cookies to eat as well, sweetened with honey, but not too much!

Jesus ate fish and therefore was not a vegetarian as Adam and Eve. As a Christian ... I follow Jesus not Adam and Eve.
