If I had to bet between insects and plant-based meat substitutes like the Impossible Burger, I'd bet on the latter. Insects are cool, but they just doesn't make sense as a major food staple.
They don't really taste like much.
Texture wise, adult insects have too much chitin.
They're not as easy to farm as you think (high death rates).
But the real problem is that they're basically snacks. Finger-food. Toppings. A person who accepts entomology is not going to automatically stop eating beef, pork, chicken and fish.
