Or, y'know, I'll stick to beans, lentils, and veggies.

  > Or, y'know, I'll stick to beans, lentils, and veggies. I'd do that too, on top of making use of those insect proteins to feed my chickens and eat eggs, roosters and the hen when it gets too old to lay eggs. There are a lot of efforts to shift aqua-culture feed to mainly insect larvae based pellets in several countries. Which makes total sense, but I have limited experience with that; but I do know chickens will devour a bowl full of maggots in seconds, which have an amazing fat/protein ratio as way healthier than the typical corn based feed they are often given. I'm very skeptical when it comes to these headlines, the World produces more than enough food (be it fruit/meat/veg) to feed all of the World's population, its the logistics of a broken food supply chain--obfuscated by subsidies--that make it impossible for it to reach every person at a profit. Its amazing that it works at all when you think that less than 2% of the World's population works in Ag and this broken system feeds the other 98%, but its also alarming when you think of the vulnerabilities and untenable practices baked into the system.
