I'd prefer invitro human flesh, honestly.

We already eat shrimp, it's not too different

that'd be a step backwards anon, we used to eat that shit in the long ago and far away, when food scarcity was common and you ate whatever you could get your hands on. the ability to be picky is a luxury, let's not forgo it

A method of cultivating protein that's far cheaper and wastes far less resources than cultivating animals, a practice which could significantly slow down global warming and possibly end world hunger if adopted across the globe?

No thanks, bugs are icky.

not icky, just low brow, unless we're talking snails, cause snails got class

They're still eaten in China and South Korea, and especially Thailand which is a decent second world country. They're actually starting to consume more of them from what I hear.

already have done, wasn't good, but if you could make it good, sure.

i lolled really hard at that bit in snowpiercer when they realised what the protein bars were made of. fucking first train problems.

environmental, ecological and humanitarian concerns still pose a huge problem against freedom of choice - it's just most of us are not intelligent or informed enough to see what choices are actually viable. currently we tend to pick the worst ones.

if we keep eating triple burgers, eating crickets is going to be non negotiable tbqh. meat is v expensive and is only so cheap cause goverment subsidies but thatll crash soon enough.

were also going to have lab grown shmeet, which im excited for as long as the usda doesnt get its hands all over it and pumps it with HFCS. watch the indiegogo video, its reddit tier but its actually real cool.

I find it amusing how people will gladly eat CAFO trashmeat and call that a "luxury", while having a panic attack at food that isn't morally abohorrent

Don't farmers in the United States straight up spray their fields with antibiotics?

I remember reading some article about that trade agreement and how doing that type of stuff is illegal in Denmark

People have been eating bugs for a very long time.
Even squeamish white people have had cricket flour for years now.

Pretty much, yeah. It goes into all animal feed by default, in doses low enough to breed biowarfare-grade superbugs and make the animals feed conversion ratio increase by like 5%, and people defend this practice for two reasons:

1. Carnists legitimately believe that it's medically necessary, and

2. The smart scientists will come up with some new antibiotics any day now, we just need to wait for all the current ones to remain completely useless for a few years and kill millions a year from antibiotic resistant superbugs instead of hundreds of thousands, so that it becomes lucrative enough to start research and eventually give the meat industry something new to ruin

I'll be living in an ocean roaming Arcology, eating algae and maggots, playing Shenmue 4, living in fear that my homebrew will be discovered by the Islamic planetary government
