This is only a half truth. It's misconstrued. Locust in Israel, is what they call Carob. If you know anything about Carob, you'll probably know it's delicious. As if by magic, carob contains all the vitamins and minerals your body needs. So, to put it bluntly, John the Baptist was living off chocolate and honey! Not a hard lifestyle. It's one of the very little known facts that is often misquoted, for obvious reasons.

If you go to Israel or any other Hebrew speaking country (very limited in options there) you'll find the same thing. Carob = Locust.
