This seems gross, but logical.

I’m for more of this.

So, where does PETA stand on this important issue? Surely they can intercede and tell us what we can and can’t do on this. Shouldn’t bugs be “range fed” rather than forcibly crowded into inhumane feedlots?

Sounds like a good protein snack. But no chocolate covering. Maybe baked with a crushed almond topping.

It’s just a front. Think soylent cricket. The USDA recently
approved horses for human consumption. Dog is OK in Mexico
and if Moochell has her way cats aren’t safe either./s

Chickens eat bugs, so you don't have to.

***where they will prosper until being killed, ground into “flour” ***

They tried this with fish about 45 years ago. It was called “fish flour” Fresh caught fish was ground up not cleaned, dried and processed into “flour”.

The FDA shut them down by requiring the fish to be cleaned before processing.

Peter Graves knew how to grow great big bugs. You could feed an entire town with one of his grasshoppers.
Too bad he couldn’t get FDA approval because they detected a little background radiation.

"...says Rozin. 'If Pepsico starts using cricket flour as 3 per cent of Cheetos, then you've got a major impact.'"

Well, well. Look where the Malthusian experiment is headed first, and probably without full disclosure in labeling. And you know, before then, celebrities will be going on and on about how delicious and good the buggy products are.

Have fun. Enjoy the buzz. And remember, you are what you eat.

It’s highly unlikely, BTW, that an operation for insects intended for human consumption would be cost-effective. Think costs per 25 lbs. or so—a week’s worth of food for one at the most. That’s a lot of bugs that take much space and consume much. Imagine enough bugs and space for them to feed many people year ‘round.

They only want as many people as possible to eat some very small portions of bugs in bug meal. The question is, “Why?” Well, what might go through bugs and affect many at some selected point in time?
