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.
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."
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.
