You have missed my point. What is the energy footprint of producing enough insects to make pet food for millions of dogs and cats? Pet food is mostly made from the leftovers from animal ag in the first place. Is that now going to be fed to insects, which will then be fed to pets? How is adding an intermediary production step reduce either the carbon or energy footprint. What exactly are the insects being fed and where does it come from.
It sounds green and woke, but does it scale up?
It’s like the “feed cows seaweed to reduce cow belching and farting” that’s being touted. Except they never talk about how it effects milk production, nor about the costs of farming and processing seaweed into feed. There is literally no supply chain for this much ballyhooed product, but there is no there, there.
Greenies talk a lot of smack about agriculture, but they know squat about farming. Most of them want to impose communism for equity purposes.
Do you like starving?
I wouldn't want to eat them, but apparently, they can be raised in a small area with little to feed them and give a large yield.
Good points!
