Read the article
>The plant would be a major step toward mainstreaming the insect protein industry, which aims to feed farm animals and aquaculture not corn, soybeans or fishmeal — common types of animal feed — but instead black soldier fly larvae and other grubs. If widely scaled-up, this would mean vastly reducing the carbon footprint and land requirements of farm animals, especially those raised for slaughter. For every kilogram of meat they produce, cows and sheep require around eight kilograms of grains, pigs require about four kilograms and chickens need 1.6 kilograms, according to one estimate. Growing that much grain requires intensive use of land and water.
It's being used for sketchy animal feed for animals you eat not you literally eating the bugs

>always have to use some weird caveat that they get to generalize and extrapolate to “prove” their point
This shit is like text book statistical manipulation they teach in every intro level stats class in college. It’s a TREMENDOUS logical fallacy and red flag.

I think forcing pigs and chickens onto vegetarian diets is sketchier since they're natural omnivores.

if we used it as flour it'd probably improve things.

>Per acre production of protein

Maybe it's like where vegetarians point out that certain vegetation has higher per pound protein per kilo but neglect to provide a scale for reference. E.g. a kilo of brocolli is a fuckload that most people could not eat in a day instead of a manageable easy to consume in one dish portion of meat.

They're not growing locusts, which can not survive in captivity, though.

Yeah, someone on here was claiming you could live on only potatoes since they are a complete source of protein but there’s like 2 g per potato so I gotta eat 30 potatoes a day to get my protein requirements?
How is it healthy to eat 20 lbs of potatoes a day?

technically bugs are one specific subset of insects. Lobsters and other shellfish are arthropods but not insects
