Yes of course. Why not? They are not dirtier than any other creature and the protein is the best so. When there is appetizing option to eat them I can not find any reason not to.

Do you eat shrimp with the shell on and vein intact, too? It's garbage quality protein because you're consuming it with all their indigestible chitin and shit.

Why not? You already eat the FDA allowance of permtted bugs and bug parts in most of the food you buy.

Yep, crickets are clean and eat plants... roaches on the other hand...

I'm potentially willing to eat bug meat, but not if it still looks like a bug. Natural revulsion is always going to be triggered by that.

Anything that was intentionally designed to replace meat.

An "American burger" made of bugs would be illegitimate. A Maori dish made from huhu worms would be legitimate.

Of couse. It's not about eco or expanding diets. It's about dehumanization and forcing unclean people to eat filth. You are literally a nazi if you dont suck your own excriment out of the stool and die of asphyxiation.

Here's a better question for the thread:

Would you purchase Kosher/Halal meat if it meant 0% chance of bugs?

[Anonymous No.17648051]

>>17647745
I don't understand the logic of people that post this?
organic food has more bugs than food that uses pesticides
what are you trying to convince us to just stop eating to avoid eating a bug? who are you shilling for?

[Anonymous No.17648057]

>>17648049
meat doesn't have bugs in it unless it's rotten. flies lay eggs in vegetables and especially fruit. having a rabbi bless your food doesn't remove bugs btw

[Anonymous No.17648061]

Sure. Limiting your culinary options based on a /pol/ meme would be pretty fucking cringe. I'm open to trying most foods once

Yeah, that's gonna be a strong NO from me.

I've eaten crickets and grasshoppers before. They honestly don't taste bad and arent that gross. I'm not really on board with mealworms though, they just dont seem appetizing. I dont see why anyone should be outraged with people trying new foods. Just try them or not, no one is forcing you, and no one gives a shit

The reason you see any articles about bugs as an alternative protein source are due to insect agriculture startups paying journalists in order to garner investors and public interest in its product. They aren't waging some mystical war on the dignity of the American consumer, there isn't any dignity left regardless.

[Anonymous No.17648134]

no, it has to be some grand conspiracy involving millions of people that can all keep the secret; somehow. That makes so much more sense

If the alt food source was that viable of a product then they should naturally find market traction. Generate kilos of ant flour if it's more nutritional and better than wheat for example. It's just naive in the current year to trust articles or startups without due diligence.

Chitin is inedible garbage. Even softshell crab is difficult to palate more than once in a while.
Ze bugs are a meme and if they were effective to harvest we would be doing so way earlier in development.
Personally, I could eat bugs to survive, but on principle I despise the almost fetishistic obsession with making humans eat inferior and/or over-processed food.
Get over your damn selves, you are not the NWO. You're a bunch of old fogeys who are desperately trying to become relevant by meming up ideas to 'improve humanity' before you roll over and die in a desperate attempt to give your wasted life meaning.

Lamb is good though. I think we just don't have as many mass production lamb farms.
Same reason venison isn't as popular despite being plentiful- you usually need a local butcher because it's not farmed industrially and thus isn't popular in big shops
