The global edible insects market is projected to surpass US$ 850 million by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period (2020 to 2027).

Edible insects are consumed across various regions as they are rich in various nutrients such as amino acids and essential minerals. Wasps, ants, bees, beetles, scale insects, cockroaches, flies, termites, crickets, and grasshoppers are some edible insects. They are also used across the aquaculture and poultry industries.

The advantage such as low cost of investment as compared to other conventional livestock such as pork, beef, and chicken is expected to augment the market growth of edible insects. Rising demand for protein-rich food products such as protein bars and snacks due to rising health consciousness among consumers is also expected to accelerate the market growth of edible insects over the forecast period.

Increasing demand for mixed insect’s packs that entails various edible insects is expected to augment the market growth of the edible insects. The mixed insect's packs usually contain mealworms, crickets, and cockroaches that are packed in deli cups and this is considered under ready-to-eat food products. Thus, the rising demand for mixed insect packs will favor market growth.

Growing cases of livestock disease are creating demand for edible insects which is further expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. The growing demand for cricket flour which is gluten-free which can be used for producing various food products is further expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.

The shilling for bugs is incredibly homosexual. 850 million? Globally? By 2027? The North Korean market for canned smegma is probably bigger than that, right now, but I don't see bugmen writing endless reams of articles about how North Korean canned smegma is the exciting new future.

Fuck bugs, how about we feed journalists to pigs and eat pork.

Anything less than $1 Billion (with a "B") isn't really impressive on the global scale, for comparison, McDonald's sold $5 BILLION worth of burgers and fries in 2020.....

I know that,
I meant as an intentional ingredient. Like a protein additive

Since insects can trigger the same allergies as shellfish I'm sure FDA would require anything with significant insect content as an ingredient to be labelled accordingly.

Certain insects and other inverts are actually pretty common traditional and street foods in certain places. Some of them are seasonal and a lot depends on what's local but across the world eating insects is already happening and has been for a long ass time. Humans are omnivores after all.

I'm cool with feeding rich assholes to pigs, but I can't say I've ever really been a fan of pork myself.

Yeah I know tarantulas are eaten in both south America and Asia. It makes sense because they're fairly big and native to those areas. I could never eat one because I keep them as pets though.

I've also heard about in I think Kenya theres a specific species of large termite that seasonally grows wings and there are a shitton everywhere. People just catch them in nets and pan fry them.

One of the keys to the success of humans is being intelligent as well as being omnivorous. Everywhere we go we can probably find something we're able to eat. It makes sense in tropical regions with a shitton of large, edible insects (and other invertebrates) that people would get in the habit of eating them.

Not in my fucking region they're not.

I'll raise my own chickens and get my protein from home-shit eggs before I eat bugs.

Ground insects as protein additives is not a bad idea IMO. I've eaten mealworms before, and they aren't half bad - salted up they're nice and crunchy. It's more a cultural thing in the west that makes us ignore the idea of including them. Humans can eat just about anything that walks, and most of what can't too. It's certainly not a bad option to consider. The real winner will be whoever can make a ground insect paste that can be substituted effectively for ground beef, though I think krill will be easier to do that with.

That's when you become Chinese. Don't be like the chinese.

The real winner will be the guy who tries it and fails spectacularly because fuck eating bugs. I'd literally rather starve.

 

[Dysnomia]

Who the fuck is eating bugs?

Nobody. This is just the latest "eat the bugs" hype.

We're not eating the bugs. Go away.

 

[Mr. Bung]

I did a few times out of curiosity; insect-burgers really don't taste bad.

Tho, I cannot see it being a future alternative to conventional meat - most people just find it gross, which I get.

I get it's a cultural thing, but certain cultural things are pretty silly when you look at them from an outside angle. Most people will gladly eat shrimp, lobster, and crab, and they look like damn big freaky bugs. And like crustations bugs are arthropods and have a similar shrimpy taste but people just won't touch them. Makes you wonder how crustations became acceptable food while insects didn't.

 

[Atatata]

I've eaten escargo and shrimp, but I doubt I'd be able to eat cockroaches or crickets. Maybe tarantulas though, they seem meaty enough.

I don't think that even if they tried their hardest to shill it, that insects would ever become the main food. That being said, I can see it as one of those health foods. Maybe have them in stores as "healthier" options to chips and what not.

People are so fucking fat.

 

[soft breathing]

From what I understand, a lot of the commercial insect-meat you can buy in stores or restaurants in western countries is mainly made from maggots/larva. Someone I talked to about this told me that he will always associate maggots/larva with death, the smell of garbage-bins in summer and something that's just in general dirty and not meant for consumption. Maybe that's part of it for other people as well? Just speculating of course.

 

[God of Nothing]

I make it a point to avoid eating anything that consumes shit. No thank you.

 

[Reshiram Battle.mp3]

I'm not opposed to it since if it's food-grade crickets and mealworms going big, they really don't taste all that bad or really like anything to me. Definitely wigs other people the fuck out to go "ya i eat bugs lol haha return to monke", but if it tastes half decent and if it ever gets less expensive, I'd switch over to it.

 

[CaesarCzech]

People in this site are doom-sperging about living in pods and eating bugs in the future but I don't see any of them coming up with better alternatives.

War.

 

[Tleilaxian]

Who the fuck is eating bugs?

You are.

So how long until major food corporations start sneaking ground insects into processed food.

They have been for decades.

You've been tricked into eating the bug in food that has a red or pink color to it, because they renamed ground up insect shell cochineal, carmine, carminic acid, Natural Red 4, or E120 on the label, if they even have an ingredient label.

Well I'll be dammed

Fuck shrimps and lobster, those sea cockroaches disgust me. They used to feed them to prisoners in penal colonies who then complained that they were being subjected to inhumane treatment.

They're just delivery systems for cocktail sauce and drawn butter.

If crustaceans swarmed in your trash, camped out in your bathroom, and ate your walls, they would be just as offensive.

We're no where near the point (and probably will never be) where it will be necessary to eat bugs. It's just one more thing they want to force on us--meanwhile the elite will continue to eat their Kobe steaks and Marie Antoinette cake.

 

[Knight of the Rope]

I don't object to bugs being an available protein

Me neither. I would just prefer to have my bug protein 'filtered' into a chicken first, and then I eat the chicken instead.

I'll avoid tinfoil-hat sperging here

Excuse me, this is Articles & News and you will do no such thing. If you've got a pants-on-head retarded theory about all of this, then you're in good company and we're all ears.

The main type of fly larva I've seen tossed around as edible food people and livestock are black soldier flies l, which are a bit different than houseflies. They aren't pests and don't spread disease because they're one of those insects that doesn't eat at the adult stage (just fucks and dies after a week). They're good for composting and great feeders especially for beardies dragons and other animals that need lots of calcium.

It's weird that taboos about insect consumption are due to perceiving them as dirty animals when I'm pretty sure you can get more diseases from the mammals we eat like cows and pigs. We are way more closely related to them after all.

They're just delivery systems for cocktail sauce and drawn butter.

I take it you've never heard of coconut crabs, because I'm pretty sure that's the kinda thing they'd do. They're fucking huge too.

Also eating trash isn't enough to stop people from eating possums and raccoons in more rural parts of the south.

I know asking why A&H does anything is futile, but it's always interesting how whenever theres the slightest whisper about people eating insects theres always a giant shitfit. Do ya'll start shrieking about the elites when you see the overpriced roasted crickets being sold as a novelty at Spencer's too?
