If they are just ground up anyways, I'm not sure I see why they would be better than vegetable protein sources...in fact, wouldn't they almost certainly be less

- blacksqr 8y agoYes, crickets require high-protein feed to grow at a viable rate. I don't understand the logic of using the crickets instead of just using the feed. Black soldier flies, on the other hand, feed on sewage and rotting waste, things it would be really beneficial to get rid of. Using them as a protein source makes sense to me, on an intellectual level at least.
- lookACamel 8y agoWould you really want to eat something in the food chain only one step removed from sewage and rotting waste?
- blacksqr 8y agoDo you eat mushrooms?
- XalvinX 8y agoI love mushrooms. And let's not forget some of the most expensive foods out there: crabs and lobsters. Early pilgrims in New England refused to eat them because the found them feasting on dead bodies (particularly human) a bit too often... Not kidding. Catfish, carp, crayfish, and many other things live on about the same level, despite being as delicious as Shiitake Mushrooms, which I just ate tonight! :)
