i am from a snail and crawfish eating people, which both taste like the muck they live in, so eating bugs doesnt offend me too badly. the solution tends to be fry them until they are crispy, and season the fuck out of them. those sea bug vids with tarantulas and sago grubs look pretty good honestly. there's some caterpillars i'd try. i would avoid refined bug protien like roach milk or silken bug curd or whatever.

I'm not too picky. Fried mealworms are nice and crunchy with a mild flavor that takes well to just about any kind of seasoning. Cicadas are also nice and crispy with a rich flavor. I think a lot of the people who refuse to eat bugs think they're going to be gross and gooey on the inside, but they're not unless you eat them raw. Of course the vast majority are just petulant children who just won't eat them on principle because they think it's a political thing for some fucking reason.

most people don't enjoy debate on narrow terms, and you're on 4chan. besides, a well constructed thought experiment affords a multitude of answers and can contend with their merits, presenting a binary is too limiting and only really serves data collection or verifying one or the other binary, always assuming they are the only truths in the situation. in this case you basically say "bugs or starve" which is a vacuous argument because we all have to eat.

I think if some products like biscuits or whatever secretly put in powdered bugs as a supplemental ingredient (no advertisement on the box whatsoever, calling the powdered bugs some fancy Latin name), people would be none the wiser. Obviously we're already eating some bugs anyway, since they eventually manage to kill themselves during one of the factory's processing stages.

There's no food or resource scarcity on the planet Earth, even with 8 billion people. As always it's a hoarding and distribution problem. The amount of food including red meat the US willfully destroys every single day could feed starving people the world over, and we refuse to do that because destroying food is more profitable for Jews.

Perhaps because it's food related, but this topic seems far more emotionally charged than your usual political bullshit.
I'm not even sure how it happened really

Generally I'd be fine with certain foods being bulked up with insect protein. I hate "bugs" but as long as no one is asking me to eat freeze-dried whole crickets out of a bag I'm ok, I don't want to have to see it.
I get most people's gut-refusal.
My main concern is that maybe the proponents are over-promising. I've been hearing a lot of doubt lately over whether insect farming is actually more efficient or green

[Anonymous No.20023622]

>>20022605
How in the world could cultivating insects be sustainable? One person would need to eat hundreds, possibly thousands every day. How do you feed all those crickets? What happens when they escape and go eat crops that weren't meant for them to eat? It's the dumbest psyop I've ever seen, how in the world could insects be a viable alternative to meat? A viable alternative would be creating spaces in urban areas for people to garden and raise chickens on their balconies, and get most of their protein from eggs and chicken meat, maybe find some way to work goats and hogs into the equation, and all suburban homes should be required to use their yards for raising chickens and goats/hogs and growing produce.

I would probably go for millipedes and those giant roly polys. Basically anything that's closely related to a crab or ideally a crustacean. I'm sure they are just as good as a crab or a lobby.

I'd try fried insects of any type, such as the ones they eat in southeast Asia. I heard mealworms have a nutty taste, while other larger insects taste like crab. I don't think I'd enjoy cricket legs and wings getting stuck in my teeth.

I do consider the consumption of insects an interesting alternative to industrial meat industry and all their associated problems: immense ecological footprint, greenhouse emissions, water consumption, crowding and zoonotic diseases, growth hormone and antibiotic resistance, and the torture and subsequent slaughtering of intelligent mammals. We need to figure out how to live in balance with the capacity of the planet, and insects could be the answer.
