Eating insects...
I read a lot of sf stories by Jack Vance. He described in some of his stories that his hero learned not to ask where his food came from when he got in a remote restaurant on a distant planet. He was afraid he couldn't handle a single bite anymore.

The Dutch Health Council seems to make a shift towards more plant based food in a healthy diet:

It's similar to the healthy eating plate by Harvard.
