I mean, we're not even sure if they were literal locusts or just carob pods, which were called locusts because of the physical resemblance, but ok, sure, whatever.
I feel like I'm ticking off some kind of crazy end times bingo card somewhere.
If I get a reference to "The Late Great Planet Earth" and a coupon for Jim Bakker's crazy end-times rations, I think I think I'll win a free trip to the Noah's Ark museum or something.
@R.L. Dane 🍵 Regardless, the verses were describing John, a wild man, and not a directive on how we should all eat. Maybe they'll also sell camel hair tshirts with their brand logo? It's crazy what people pull from the Bible and try to apply to their own lives.
Even the footnote in my Bible says "probably Locust beans."

Repeat the same sermons over and over again and never once touch the One who Spoke it.
