Don't expect light planes to crash into it.

Crickets and I think Cochroaches have chitin or whatever made of the same tissue as shellfish, which can trigger an allergic reaction in some, possibly fatal.

Risks to eating crickets?

One of the biggest issues is that crickets have been shown to be carriers of various pathogens

One study found parasites in more than 81% of the insect farms. In 30% of those cases, those parasites found could potentially cause disease in humans

Hmm, now they may suggest switching to roaches. How about rats?

Don't people in 3rd world countries eat bugs all the time?

I believe most parasite infections are also in 3rd world countries.

Not much good meat on a rat. I hear they taste like squirrel.

I don't think they'll enforce the rooster laws if people start getting hungry.

Chickens are excellent sources of protein and relatively easy to produce. They eat bugs too.

Chickens are amazing. They grow really fast, lay eggs (well, half of them do), and thrive on grass and bugs.

Downsides are the shit they produce (great fertilizer though) and the need to keep them safe from raccoons and the like.

Just submit.

Enjoy your Hoppy Brand tube of cricket paste. Like cheese wiz on a cracker, but you get to virtue signal about how amazing you are for the planet.

They eat crickets in Mexico, particularly in Oaxaca.
They're called "chapulines".
I've had them; they tasted like nothing but they're prepared with some stuff which reminds me of Maggi sauce (like wheat soy sauce).
The trick is don't look when you eat one.

I know in places like Virginia, we were using invasive species bugs like stinkbugs to feed egg-laying chickens. I used the chicken manure as fertilizer for my fruit orchards (berries, peaches, and apples).

A cricket-paste factory like the Ontario, Canada one mentioned above would be ideal for supporting chicken egg industry, as well as fish farming and shrimp farming.

The article about the cricket-paste factory said it was for pet food. I think for a dog you can feed it grains like brown rice and barley, that have some protein. We give our dogs broccoli, cauliflower and potatoes, including sweet potatoes.

I know dogs can eat peanut butter also for protein, as long as it does not have synthetic sugar, and carefully fed so they don't eat too much to risk choking.

They eat guinea pigs in Peru, don't they?

We give our dogs broccoli


@ad - be careful with broccoli, I've HEARD that it's not good for dogs. Some cows cannot eat the stuff.
33   just_passing_through   2023 Feb 4, 1:01pm  

broccoli and other cruciferous have some powerful molecules in them but in particular broccoli. When you chew it (and it hasn't been cooked) it creates sulforaphane, which is why I grow and eat broccoli sprouts -> ~100x more sulforaphane than mature broccoli. I've literally seen people grow and feed the sprouts to their dogs. Not that @richwicks is wrong, I don't know but I've definitely seen people do that.
34   just_passing_through   2023 Feb 4, 1:01pm  

I would bet thoroughly cooked broccoli is fine for dogs.

Rich, the American Kennel Club says it is okay in moderation.

I agree. Just another fucktoy with daddy issues. From the Wiki:

Early life
Rhoades was raised by a single mother in a suburb of Chicago. At 14, she admired the glamour of the models in The Girls Next Door and wanted to be like Anna Nicole Smith.[1]

America’s largest meat producer has announced a new partnership with a World Economic Forum-linked company to open a major insect processing plant in the United States.

Tyson Foods Inc., the largest producer in the U.S. for all kinds of meats, is buying a stake in Netherlands-based insect-protein company Protix BV.

Protix BV describes itself “as leading the world in the technical aspects of insect production.”

The company has also been hailed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and was awarded with globalist organization’s “Technology Pioneer” award.

Protix CEO Kees Aarts is also listed as a member of the WEF.

The two companies will collaborate to establish a manufacturing facility in the U.S.

The new plant will produce bug-based meal and oil, typically used in fish feed and dog food.

However, Tyson CFO John Tyson said in an interview that “in the long run,” the company will produce products that are “good for people.”

Oil from bugs might be better than industrial PUFA (more omega 3 and 9?), but yeah, too much handwaving.

yep protein farming of grubs like in the beginning of the last Blade Runner movie : https://www.bugsfeed.com/palm_weevil

in the movie King Kong where the bugs and grubs become the predator at 1:30 into the video: https://youtu.be/DTWYQhTT388
