negation
- There’re many people who’re starved in the world. We can feed insects to part of them because it’s cheap and nutritious. Those people who become not like insects can be dealt with other food options.
Q) I want to know the negation in the underlined part sounds ok.
That means, there'll be people who (later say they) don't(won't) like insects. (When they first think of eating insects, they may think it's ok but when they're provided with them continuouly, they become not like it)

people who start not to like
or
people who come to dislike
P.S. I think I would be one of them.

Oh ok. thank you for your answer. It's interesting that it'll sound odd if I say "...people who come to not like....", right?

You could say people who come to not like, (or people who come not to like if you don't want to split the infinitive) although I would be much more likely to use one of Elanguest's versions.
Those people who become not like insects does not work. It would mean that these people used to resemble insects, but now they do not.
