Exactly what I was thinking of. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before we go from insects->livestock->humans to insects->humans as shown in Blade Runner 204

I believe in the movie it is implied that the protein is used on replicants of humans, or of animals which are then consumed by humans. Though it's never really that clear, I suppose.

  The world in the movie was quite devoid of animal farming / husbandry. As an aside Snowpiercer had a related concept - grinding cockroaches to make protein bars...

    Not animal farming. Replicants of animals. Remember the snake and the owl in the original movie?

I'd eat insects as soon as they're available in my local supermarket at an acceptable price. I've seen insect burgers in the supermarket, but they were about twice as expensive as beef.
