My opinion on this subject has always been, that it may well be that Uros will eat insects in the wild, if the opportunity presents itself, but that that opportunity is probably very infrequent. So infrequent that their bodies have not evolved to cope with a constant intake of animal protein.
I relate it to human nutrition in this way - we can eat cake, cookies and candy, as well as drink soda and sweet drinks a few times a year, with no ill effects. However include those foods as part of your regular diet and in time, you may find your health adversely affected.
Since Uros can be kept healthy on a strictly vegetarian diet, why take the chance feeding them animal protein?
