Places like Florida and elsewhere are lucky -- they have gigantic palmetto bugs and water bugs. (You only need to eat one of them at a time, for your entire meal!)

Beetleburgers could soon be helping to feed the world, according to new research. The creepy crawlers’ larvae — better known as mealworms — could act as a meat alternative to alleviate hunger worldwide. The process uses a fraction of the land and water and emits a smaller carbon footprint in comparison of traditional farming.
To make this a reality, French biotech company Ynsect is planning a global network of insect farms, including nurseries and slaughterhouses. A pilot plant has already been been set up at Dole in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comte region of France.
“We are in full control of the chain of production. That gives us strength in terms of quality, security and safety,” says Benjamin Armenjon, general manager of Ynsect, according to a statement from SWNS.
Robot arms and automated conveyor belts transport stacks of red trays in every direction. They are are filled with billions of Tenebrio molitor beetle larvae. The dried critters are more than 50 percent protein and rich in fiber and fats as well.
They can be turned into protein powders, shakes, burgers, cereal bars, and even cooking oils at a fraction of the environmental cost of traditional farming. For every one kilogram of protein, Ynsect uses 98 percent less land and emits 40 times less carbon than beef. It also uses 40 times less water than pork production.
You VILL eat zee bugs

If the reprobate Globalists have their way
I think it might be that mealworms could be halal but not kosher?
“The Torah forbids two types of sherets (creeping things):
Earth crawlers, e.g. mouse, lizard[5]
Flying creeping things,[6] with four exceptions: Two types of locust, the cricket, and the grasshopper (translations of the species names vary).[7]”

I am not sure what would qualify as cruelty-free mealworm slaughter.
Many, many years ago, G.K. Chesterton commented on vegetarians who claimed their stuff tasted just like meat. Chesterton suggested they come up with a version of their product that tastes in its own right.
Yeah after I buy my first EV and use it to drive to get my first covid shot I’ll get right on that......but I wouldn’t hold my breath I was you. 👌
(Are they serving this at Davos?)
Excellent question. I’m guessing not.
Serve it to the aholes at Davos starting tomorrow.

Not what’s for dinner.
I’d like to feed those bastards to the bugs.
Best tasting burger 🍔 he’d ever had!
Works for me 👍👍👍
The cows on the Chick-Fil-A billboards are always trying to get us to eat more chicken. Now scientists want us to eat more beetles.
If you are against the excess slaughter of animals, you should be for eating MORE beef.
How many people can ONE rotisserie chicken feed? One to three at the VERY most.
How many beetles does it take to make one 1/4 lb. shamburger patty? dozens? hundreds?
If you slaughter one cow you can get enough food to feed dozens. Many thousands of beetles and dozens of chickens would be needed for the same output.
If you kill ONE COW, you spare the lives of many thousands of beetles or dozens of chickens. A worthy sacrifice.
OR, spare the cow for a while and use her as a grass processing machine to turn food that humans cannot digest into something nutritious that many of us can. It will be a while before we milk chickens or beetles.
mcmaggot burgers available soon at participating locations...
Just like Anchovie Paste, which I sometimes use in cheffing, but not the whole Sardines.

So did Greenbeefos. The Ultimate Catalyst by John Taine (1939)
But there was a price to pay....

I suggest shoving these burgers down Klaus Schwab’s throat. Make that Kraut and his WEF minions EAT THEM FIRST!
Marxist Democrats can eat these beetles burgers while they drive around in their EVs looking for a place to plug in.
Me I’ll just have a beef What-a-burger and burn some gas thanks.
I am just too Un-Woke for bug food and EV “progress”.
the blue dude from the Movie Big Fat Liar is a closer match!! check it out...
Maggots come from flies, not from beetles. Wouldn’t want to ingest any stage of either species.
Seems like Rat Burger would be a better idea. At least it is meat.
These people are insane.
I am glad I will likely be dead before they put the screws to people and make this BS mandatory.
