“not only for human consumption”
I don’t know about you folks but, I will not be consuming any insects for my protein sources.
Freaks.
Easy to raise.
Just start with one egg sack, delivered in a box from a dumpster.
French fried mealworms aren't bad.
What about cockroaches? Do they have anything in common with shrimp?
As a matter of fact they do, and this is why it’s so important to understand how scientists group things. Cockroaches are insects. And shrimp are crustaceans. And while they both belong to their own groups (insects and crustaceans), they also share characteristics that group them together.
What are those characteristics?
Both insects and crustaceans have three part bodies, made up of a head, thorax, and abdomen.
Both have jointed legs.
And both have exoskeletons. An exoskeleton means that their bodies’ “bones” are on the outside instead of the inside (like yours). If you’ve ever eaten steamed shrimp, you probably know that they have a hard shell you have to take off first. This is the shrimp’s exoskeleton, and insects such as cockroaches have them too.
Creatures that share these characteristics belong to a group called Arthropods, which also include animals like spiders and centipedes. Scientists have found that insects and crustaceans have a particularly close evolutionary relationship, though. So close that they belong to a group all their own called Pancrustacea.
That means that shrimp, lobsters, and other crustaceans are related – very closely related – not only to cockroaches, but to all other insects, too.

You will eat what Big Brother tells you. Before or after the lobectomy.
I, for one, welcome my new bug overlords.
Several scientific studies have demonstrated that using Ÿnsect products in place of traditional animal proteins and chemical fertilizers have led to a 34 percent increase in yield for rainbow trout, a 40 percent mortality reduction on shrimp; a 25 percent increase in yield for rapeseed; a 25 percent mortality reduction for seabass.

If this and their other claims are true I think it’s great.
If we wanted to eat insects we would have started long ago
Chocolate covered ants are delicious.
LOL! There’s plenty of ‘landscape’ to eat, before I’d eat bugs. Blech!
Here’s an idea - grind them all into powder and feed them to those bodybuilders that eat ‘Protein Shakes’ like they’re going out of style.
I’ll bet there are ALREADY bugs in those shakes! ;)
“I, for one, welcome my new bug overlords.”
LOL!
Damn, can feed Moo, the UN, Miss Piggy and Michael Moore with a little bit left over for the rest of Hollywood.
Ant covered chocolate? Not so delicious.
You go right ahead and eat all the cockroaches your heart desires. I and I believe the overwhelming majority of people will take a pass.
Yum!
Soylent Green is....bugs?
