I don’t want and will not drink that sh*t… But many will…
An international team of scientists sequenced a protein crystal located in the midgut of cockroaches in 2016. The reason?
It’s more than four times as nutritious as cow’s milk and the researchers think it could be the key to feeding our growing population in the future.
Although most cockroaches don’t actually produce milk, Diploptera punctate, which is the only known cockroach to give birth to live young, has been shown to pump out a type of ‘milk’ containing protein crystals to feed its babies.
The fact that an insect produces milk is pretty fascinating – but what fascinated researchers is the fact that a single one of these protein crystals contains more than three times the amount of energy found in an equivalent amount of buffalo milk (which is also higher in calories than regular cow’s milk).

That's almost certainly not true, because they don't like anything natural.
NopeNopeNopeNope
Udder nonsense.
Eeeeeewwwwwww! Gross!
Call me when it’s the only option on the menu at the White House and Congress kitchens and they’re all drinking it enthusiastically.
how much did THAT cost us???
Oh sure...next thing you know they’ll be genetically modifying humans to have little tiny fingers to milk those cockroaches.
Good answer.
How many cockroaches would have to be milked to produce a quart of milk?
Does it have to be homogenized?
Could it be used in baking?
Those bugs run between the heel and toe of the boot and yell "snap!"
Then when you lift the shoe they scurry under the wall board yelling FU sucker!
Very carefully with a pair of tweezers?
Some years ago one of my daughters was renting an apartment that had a roach problem.
One morning she opened the door to go to work, and a big ol’ cockroach ran in the door, followed by his henchman, a centipede.
What a way to start the day…
Guess Pelosi and AOC will be feeding millions from now on!
They’re too difficult to milk. Itty bitty titties are hard to grasp.
Yes but, how does it stack up against soylent green?
Mmmmm put that on your froot loops.😫
There is a reason why millenia of human existence has resulted in the traditional dairy industries, and why no one ever before suggested a cockroach dairy industry.
Cockroach milk? These nuts must be milking bulls to come up with a story like this.
