For a while. The dirty water is likely to make you ill (it can sometimes kill you), and the insects are probably not nutritionally complete.

No. The only single food/drink you can survive on is breast milk.

Yes, if you know how to use evaporation to distill the water first, or can filter and then boil the water for a few minutes first....and if you know what sort of insects you can eat safely. Even The Bible recommends locusts.

Yes, but I believe the "locusts" which John the Baptist ate were not insects, but the fruit of the locust tree, better known to us as carob.

Hundreds of scores of biblical specialists have been assigned to study, re-study, re-re-re-study "original scripts" to come up with an "accurate translation" of these things over the centuries and still haven't come up with the "translation" your opinion expresses. And we have innumerable versions of "translation" of Bible running around out there. Since the late 19th century, there has been the "standardization" of all these different Bibles, so whatever modern western Bible you're reading, it doesn't come from a single source, but several. Now, all these truckloads of specialized theological scholars know more than you and me put together about translating a Bible. Just sayin'.
