The same way you would break down the contradictory nature of the "bad corp crony capitalism" arguments. Then you'd probably have to come up with some analogous arguments about why eating bugs isn't so bad, how it's a cultural thing, how we already consume bug adjacent organisms (literally eating oyster snot), how some integration of bugs might be necessary in the future, especially the way we're going, and how most Amerikkkan food is fucked presently anyways (and some of it might even be incorporating buggy elements already).
At which point you'll realize Amerikkka is fucked because you probably aren't going to convince many people, if any at all. So you just make petty small talk and hope for a JDPON order
oyster snot grosser than bugs tbh. If they eat shrimp, lobster, or any meat that came out of a factory then they have no reason other than personal weakness not to eat the land bugs.
Some is, like Murex Purple dye (which is from now-endangered shellfish and is almost impossible to get outside of a couple of traditional greek/italian craftspeople) it is prohibitively expensive to make the exact colour using synthetic dyes in a way that is safe for human consumption so it's used in food a lot, and that has revived the fabric industry as well.

Is the blue coloring from bugs in the US? I figured that's only for countries that ban possible carcinogens and shit.

Red was from cochineal beetles at one point but I don't know if it still is.
