The Bible does an excellent job at listing what animals are good to eat and those that are not. In modern times beef and poultry become contaminated not from their inherit risk but from the way they are raised. However food like alligator can never be made parasite or disease free.
Read the book, "Adventure Capitalist", by Jim Rogers.
No way am I going to eat maggots!
In The Matrix, the dead are fed intravenously to the living. There is a problem with that, however. People don’t die at a fast enough rate to feed everyone. And by the way, people consume far more energy than they generate through metabolism. The term “Copper Top” doesn’t apply.
Not just no but HELL NO.
Would consider for wound care as a last resort but they would never be a food source for me.
There's another Aggie joke in the making.

Hmmm... so if i’m offered for a meal either alligator or cultured maggots, go for the maggots? ;-)
I think the idea is to pass such gross foodstuffs through a gamma box before further processing.
No disease after a dose of gamma.
Works on more familiar things that tend to carry disease...like chicken. But it alters the flavor :-/
As a population control measure, feeding people to maggots seems a little excessive.
Probably political dissenters who don’t believe in the globalist vision, gender fluidity, socialism, etc
They just need an egg and some bread crumbs to hold them together-like a reaaly gross meatloaf
Serve them in the dining halls of the UN first...
I watch survival and bushcraft guys like Les Stroud or Ray Mears eat things like wichetty grubs or wood ant pupae (cooked) and I think, “That doesn’t look too bad. I could eat that.” (Note: Most of us already eat cochineal beetle larva/pupae on a regular basis since it’s used as food coloring.) But whenever a researcher or entrepreneur jumps on the insects as food bandwagon it’s always maggots, or worse, roaches. I think the researchers feel that the closer they can get us to eating sewage the better.
Cool.
The 3rd world can finally get some protein by eating bugs.
The rest of us can keep eating our animals.
Plus a little garlic and white
onion....glad i’m old and
probably wont see the day.
PETA is still going to bitch
about this though. Maggots
are living, breathing,
organisms that have
feelings....
Didn’t John the Baptist eat locusts? I wonder if he cooked them first. There are some things I prefer raw, such as tuna, which not everyone understands. That is to say, it grosses them out. Anyway, humans consume other living things exclusively, which is why we are parasites. Nature designed us to eat them, although nature didn’t design them to be eaten by us. We are predators on top of it, the pinnacle of the parasite category. We’re parasites on the parasites. God still seems to love us however, for whatever reason. No one tells him what to do.
If you build something in the middle of nowhere, it becomes the edge of somewhere.
Deploy the maggots to India and China.

excerpt:
You might think massive population growth since 1950 would expand poverty, but that misunderstands free market dynamism. By 2015 (the most recent global poverty estimate), world population had exploded to 7.35 billion yet only 0.7 billion lived in poverty [over 2 billion lived in poverty in 1970], less than 10 per cent albeit still too many. Despite a three-fold increase in global population, the absolute number of people living in poverty dropped by more than 60 per cent.
