I say we force Mikey to eat bugs and seaweed the rest of’his life.

[ConservativeMind]

Seaweed can taste really good, but I have yet to find an insect that does.

And, in the coming years, a global shift from resource-intensive, animal-sourced proteins to more sustainable marine and plant-based sources is on the cards, both for our health and that of the planet.

Effin idiots...

And, in the coming years, a global shift from resource-intensive, animal-sourced proteins to more sustainable marine and plant-based sources is on the cards, both for our health and that of the planet.

But could seaweed and protein-packed insects prove too much, too soon?

“Disgust is something unique to each culture. Disgust plays a huge role in food selection and there would be a good level of disgust about seaweed and about novel protein sources, as we’ve got no experience with them.”

“It’s part of our psyche: just the idea of eating an insect, for example, without first smelling it, tasting it or holding it. That is disgust and an animal doesn’t have that.”

WTF ever.

I don’t mind eating bugs but, they are not as tasty as Beef cooked rare or carpacio style. Same goes for Tuna encrusted in sesame seed and wasabe or BBQ chicken.

Besides, I have a bird on my head, so your argument is invalid...

Globalist plan to get the hoi-poloi used to their version of soylent green. That way all the meat and fish can be eaten by the masters.

I buy this brand at the Dollar Store for yes... a dollar.. quite good and tasty..

I live in Japan and they had some seaweed crackers that I remember calling, osimbe. They were great and I've yet to get any here in the US since then. Anyone have any ideas about them?

[BunnySlippers]

No, but there is more for you.

[jacquej]

All they have to do is write a fantastic new diet book, promising rapid and substantial weight loss, and get a few Hollywood types to praise it to the hills.

They would have, of course, a new powdered version of bugs and seaweed, and would make a small fortune in no time.

“We are the only species that exhibit disgust in this way,”

Clearly he hasn't met my cat.

I don't mind eating bugs after they've been processed correctly. The best way to process them is to run them through the digestive tract of a chicken or a trout, then eat the meat.

[RegulatorCountry]

We’re getting more insect in our diets already than we’d find palatable if publicized. All processed foods have a standard maximum percentage of insect parts. It’s especially noteworthy in peanut butter.

[Jack Hydrazine]

But is it kosher?

[GingisK]

You can eat what you want. Same goes for me.

[rlmorel]

What a load of horse hooey.

"...We are the only species that exhibit disgust in this way..."

Oh, really? When I try to give my cat some of my highly peppered steak, he wrinkles his nose in disgust at it and narrows his eyes, as if to say "You b*****d! How could you offer me something like that!"

[Know et al]

Anyone for protein-rich insects and seaweed snacks?

Yeah! The North Koreans.
