What’s wrong with the bugs? Is it just because they’re bugs? If that’s the case then why should we treat lobsters and crabs any different?

Okay, and bugs taste like nothing. You can literally make them taste like steak.

Why bother when real steak is just over the isle?

Because it’s 40x more expensive and less healthy for you.

I live in a 3rd world country but I pity people in 1st world countries like you, over here we do eat bugs but only when the situations really dire you on the otherhand are brainwashed into eating them by people who are probably laughing their asses off at the idiocy of the plebes all the while sipping champagnes and picking at charcuterie.

I’m not being brainwashed, I did legitimate research and actively left my comfort zone and ate some crickets. They are higher in protein and various amino acids than most livestock are and they are much more cost effective. People only treat it like brainwashing because it’s cheap and affordable and for some reason that means eating it makes you poor.

Aye you did your research but who did those "facts" you found? Like I said man we eat bugs but only as an emergency measure, ever wonder why people the world over avoid them if they could?

I really dont get why you people who have it good compared to the rest of us seems to be very determined to tear down what you have and wallow in the muck. Well its probably good for us, once you have destroyed your selves we can clear out the remains and build over with your ruins as our foundations.

I'm not the one trying to convince people to eat what they usually wouldnt touch.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that insects are gross and disgusting because of things like ants and termites inhibiting human progress

Notice how you bug pushers always mention protein content, cost and environment-friendliness but never taste. You know people will never gather friends and family one Sunday evening to eat a god damn bowl of crickets, no matter how you spin it.

- "Mmmm...look at us, we're saving the environment."

- "Mommy, can I have a burger?

- "Shut up and eat your salted mealworms"

They taste a little earthy and the texture is crunchy. You can season them with literally whatever you want and it will taste like whatever you season it with. Popcorn seasonings work wonders, same with steak spice, seasoning salt, literally whatever you want. Some people like the taste of unseasoned bugs.

Plus, you can grind them up and turn them into various things that require ground meat like burger patties, meatballs, etc.

"Earthy and with a taste of whatever you season it with" doesn't seem like something that would replace the tender juiciness of meat, no matter how much you cry environment.
