Habitat loss, climate change, global pandemic and DINNER

Seems like deliciousness may be more of a factor in the global collapse of amphibian populations than was previously thought.

The most interesting fact in this story - frogs' legs on the school lunch menu in France!

I've had them and thought them tasty - but are they a basic food group? or that strongly identified culturally? If New Englanders can get along without cod can't the French get along without amphibian appendages?
