If the Seahorses were preserved as a sort of souvenier one could put in one's pencil cup, I'd have one. But not as a snack.
I think it comes down to not eating things that we antropomorphize. Or, in the case of the buggies, look really icky. I am not living in the middle of the Kalahari. When all the McDonalds are gone, I'll consider cannibalism before eating cockroaches on a stick.
One of my friends won't eat pork since she saw Babe. I didn't think the movie was much more than charming, so I don't have any problems eating ham.
