“There’s no better source of protein than meat.
Not to mention B12.”
False black soldier fly larvae are upwards of 80% by mass complete protein and they are loaded with b6&12 beef is only 45% or less. So nope wrong. At least be factual. We get it you don’t want to eat bugs fine, but at least be honest.
Larvae make the perfect monogastric feed they have so much protein you have to actually cut it down or you risk blowing out your animals kidneys. Chickens,pigs,fish,prawns have all been raised and raised well on BSF based feeds it is better than fish meal by far and beats soy beans by leaps and bounds.
BSF live on rotting waste that those animals cannot eat they also have the gut track needed to kill every bit of bacteria in that waste. 2/3 of food produced today ends up as food waste we could double the available protein source by feeding that waste to BSF and using that protein directly or feed it to fish with a near 1:1 FCR ratio it still is a loss as fish are only in the 40% protein by mass range not 60+ like some arthropods.
Not wanting to do something is no reason to lie to push an agenda. Arthropods and single cell proteins are king of the hill in mass ratio and extant energy conversion rates bar none,only archea as in blue green algae smash their efficiency.
You are the FIRST person who’s ever said that that I have ever heard, to it’s pretty disingenuous to accuse someone of lying when they are stating something they didn’t know to be different and accusing them of *pushing an agenda*.
and I’ve heard a LOT of people talk about B12 sources, most of whom believe in alternative sources. And they never mentioned it.
Nor is there any reason to be snarky and talking down to someone, which the whole tone of your post does.
