You know how it's been discusses wether we could start eating bugs for the sake of global warmings?
And then there's a very loud group of people who keep saying we can't force them to eat disgusting bugs, i think they're mostly the conservative kind of people, although i'm sure a lot of liberals would also find eating bugs unappealing.

Well, this thread isn't to discuss the politics of it, but the reason not to eat bugs. Leaving any political argument aside, Would you like to atleast try bugs?
Personally, I've been eating crickets occasionally ever since i knew they were food, they make a really good salty snack to eat alongside a beer. Also, I've never had eaten bugs as a main dish but i wouldn't be so revolted with the idea.

I travel a lot for work, and I've eaten insects before (and a bunch of other animals considered taboo). Fried locusts are pretty great, but crickets and grubs are way too mealy.

In any case, the issue is that in every place in the world that eats insects, they're treated as a snack food. Like potato chips, etc. Pushing them as a main protein is about as assbackwards as suggesting you should be eating pork rinds instead of pork chops. Even worse, you get these people who think processing them into a mush or power and then further processing them into something unrecognisable is somehow a good thing? Whatever happened to PROCCESED=BAD? I'd rather eat a nice crispy fried locust than a "processed locust patty coated in panko". I'd rather eat a steak than a burger made with unwanted meat trimmings.

Nobody eats insects as a main dish. Anyone pushing for you to eat insects as a main dish is trying to make money.

Well, like i said, people argue that making bugs an alternative kind of food is forced by "liberals" and "global warming" agenda.
Or atleast that's what some people think, but I was asking mainly because of how americans in general don't like eating different kind of dishes or vegetables.

Some insects taste really good wirh salt + vinegar, but potato chips win this battle by far. And I am not into unhealthy snacks.

I tried some insect burgers and bought em regularly. Sadly, nobody else did and they are no longer available.

Also, I want my own Insect farm, but I am too poor. I would totally substitute meat with it, cause I very seldom eat it anyway.

There is no reason other than political to try and force people to eat bugs, that's why it always ends up political
>but muh global warming
>muh cow farts
You disengenuous acts like cow farming is the only form of protein, what about fucking chickens, are chicken farts damaging the planet to the same extent? No, no they are not so why do you not acknowledge other sources of protein such as chicken meat and eggs?
Oh because you're argument falls apart then, there is no reason to try and coerce people into eating bugs, the elite just want to humliate the goyim by forcing them to eat insects and reserve meat as a luxury exclusive for themselves once again

My grandma refused to eat shellfish because she called them the bugs of the sea that fed on dead bodies. I kinda agree with her but shellfish somehow seems cleaner because it lives in water. Don't really want to overanalyse because I still want to enjoy shellfish.

i've been working through the NOMA Guide for the past year and a half and am finally into the garums. I'm currently week 4 on the grasshopper garum. i got a sever phobia of bugs due to a 2ce overdose but I'm legitimately excited for the grasshopper garum to finish. Apparently its their secret ingredient. I think once the garum is finished and I've cooked with it i might be a little more open to eating bugs. Handling them while processing them was super difficult for me, but i got through it and i think it helped me take a step over my fear of bugs. Blended up moth larva with grasshoppers, threw some koji in it, then stuck it in my fermentation chamber. should be done in another 4 weeks at which point I will sieve and use it as an amino/fish sauce/oyster sauce. its supposed to really take vegetables to the next level.
