The FAO (The Food and Agriculture Organization agency of the United Nations) doesn't quite agree with you on http://www.fao.org/edible-insects/en/ http://www.fao.org/edible-insects/en/:
"Edible insects contain high quality protein, vitamins and amino acids for humans. Insects have a high food conversion rate, e.g. crickets need six times less feed than cattle, four times less than sheep, and twice less than pigs and broiler chickens to produce the same amount of protein. Besides, they emit less greenhouse gases and ammonia than conventional livestock."

- AstralStorm 5y agoTherefore, Impossible Burger is not meat. But it tastes close enough right?
- emptyfile 5y agoNo
- NullPrefix 5y agoHow much estrogen does it have though?
- YarickR2 5y agoNo
- fogihujy 5y agoThe processed meat alternatives don't really taste close enough. On the contrary, many prefer actual grilled mushrooms or vegetables in their burgers. Personally, I think fried crickets taste much better than Impossible Burger and the ilk.
- vharuck 5y ago>twice less than pigs and broiler chickens I'm astounded that pigs and chickens are that efficient compared to crickets. I was thinking efficiency and body mass would have a close-to-linear negative correlation.
