“Don’t forget worms. PROTEIN, you know.”

Red wigglers are 60% protein by weight twice that of beef. If you grind them up and mix them with a binder like oats or breadcrumbs and form meat paddies out of them they cook up nearly identical to hamburger in consistency and taste. Yes I personally have done this and served it to people without telling them what it was to get the honest response it was disclosed it was an alternative protein. This was in a controlled environment for an experiment. Only 2 of 20 found them objectionable with 12 of 20 found them so similar to beef they thought it was ground beef. A good portion of the global population eats alternative proteins, as in 75% or more. All of Asia, Africa and.Latin America does as do the Mediterranean basin countries to include France ,Spain and Italy. Worms,grubs,ants,grasshoppers,locusts are a regular part of the diet for most of humanity. Having been on 6 of 7 continents I have a life goal to kill and eat every protein that a human can safely eat thus making me the Apex of all predatory species. Worms are quiet tasty when cooked right same for grasshoppers.
