- asien 4y agoThat’s correct. The startup Ynsect at the moment is targeting Fish Farming not human. What would be the impact over many generations of that type of food ? I’m scared of the “SuperBug” type of disease that would be resistant to antibiotics because it’s been dormant in us for too long...
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoTrivial quantities at the scale of the global population today, not at the scale of local indigenous people for millenia. If we want to know if insect consumption can be adopted, just looking at industrialized insect farms production given to city folks is going to give us a partial understanding of what's possible. We need to know things like: - are those parasites massively more presents in farms than in nature (it's the case for fishes) ? - what's the probability of the parasites to infects the average consummer ? (We eat parasites all the time) - if this probaility is high, can a population adapt over time so that this probability goes down ? Etc
