Cheap protein. What the problem is?

[Anonymous No.12252970]

>>12252809
people are switching to dogfood containing bug protein since it is of higher quality compared to the "waste meat" in current dog food
small chicken farms start bug farms to feed their chicken since it will provide a higher quality chicken compared to grain feed
the first bug protein for /fit/izens are out.

when big farms kick off, we have way better protein in a cheaper way.
These bugs are grinded up and every extracted what you don't want.
Eating whole bugs -> meh
grinded bug flour or protein, why not

Mark my words, in the next 5-10 years, bugs make a big part of animal and human nutritions, invest now wisely to make $$$

How else will you feed all the people?
You can stack the bug farms ez pz in the sky and feed them left over stuff.

the writing is on the wall for this

look at google trends 'cricket flour' 'bug protein', and witness the rumblings of something huge

its animal protein that you can create out of waste, has extremely small operating expenses, and is not environmentally impactful to any large degree

you can create 100x as much protein with the same amount of resources, and this will be important in a state of overpopulation

we haven't even truly begun breeding or experimenting with genetic engineering of crickets for optimal taste and protein content

calling it now - 20 years down the line we will have farms raising crickets that are 5x the size they are now, which are barely mobile and do nothing but eat, shit, then get grinded up into protein for human consumption

You can still have the steak you dingus, just not every day and for cheap. As it should be. Bugs will replace the "meat every day" part of your diet.

This is the truest thing in this thread. People (especially westerners) hate the idea of eating insects in any form or fashion. The simplest solutions are the ones that get chosen and synthetic “clean” meats are the future. We are already able to produce artificial tendies and steak (not at a mass-scale yet) that is comparable to meat in texture and flavor. Look Just Foods, Beyond Burger, and Impossible Meats up if you don’t believe me.

We will also be seeing the rise of plant based meat that is more life-like and flavorful than ever before. New plant meats utilizing heme (plant blood) are already paving the way for mainstream consumption of alternative-meats. These will be hitting major metros all over the US next year and are already at over 5000-7500 restaurants across the country. They will be vastly superior to the highly processed vegan meats that are available now.

Bottom line is that both of these options are infinitely more preferable and profitable than insect proteins. People want meat, not bugs.

T: I’ve done marketing for some insect based stuff before. People hate tasting it so much it’s ridiculous. Really only seen as a novelty/niche.
