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.
 
I've bought roaches, but I can't say I've bought bullshit. It's interesting you mention antibacterial properties, because some roaches actually do have that. Cockroaches are one of my favorite weird autistic interests and I've been raising them since high school. I think it's fair to say I know a little bit about them.

Damn good to know talking about why insects arent the worst thing possible for humans to eat and why is just as potent a subject to make A&H dudes REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE as mentioning I think the Star Wars sequel trilogy is ok.
We're not eating bugs, they're gross. Either drop the persecution complex or fuck off back to wherever you came from.

You probably already have without knowing it. Traces of insect parts inevitably get into most processed food.
 
Yeah, i dont see anyone eating bugs anytime soon

Well, unless the bugs go through processing which makes them look like hamburgers, i could see that happening considering how much foods are processed today ( like mcdonalds chicken nuggets, i wouldnt be suprised if bugs were included in those).

Don't fucking compare traces of insect parts with trying to serve me a plate full of roaches or something similarly disgusting, the former is due to unfortunate mistakes, the latter is due to willful malice.
 
The funny thing is that today we will discuss how stupid and perhaps even how ludicrous that the societal engineers are going to try to get us to eat the bugs. Though they will make it marketable and trendy, just like how the managed to make getting an unproven expiremental jab, perpetually give your information away for free, cut your penis off, blow up families of brown people for minerals and opium, and all for the sake of the greater good.

It's not beyond these people to mind fuck a bunch of retards to do something because they seen their favourite person that plays pretend can read it from a script convincingly. They'll sell it as some fancy new hipsterish high protein diet, and call themselves bugmen. They'll also shill the narrative that it will prevent future pandemics, we need to eat the bugs to save Toms Bakery, and so Grandma doesn't have to die in the nursing home alone. It won't happen by force immediately, it'll be progressively teased until before we know it, the new grasshopper fed soy burger is at every fucking McDonalds from here to Timbuktu.

This is how an scientifically illiterate population gets conquered, by believing that Science is a religion. Or this man's version of science is greater than the other man's. If you feel the audacity to quote Trust the Science Man in your Twitter bio, you are just as fucking autistic as Trusting the Plan speds of yesteryear. Also if these faggots claim they love science so much, but cannot even give me Newton level dynamics; They can stick their internet stickers in their pierced taints. Now take the jab and eat your bugs!
 
People have always eaten Bugs, but the weird push by very specific groups for the plebs to ONLY Eat bugs instead of other meats or even god forbid larger bug-like creatures like shrimp or crabs thats the fucking weird and cartoonishly evil to a degree. The whole "oh eating bugs will SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT" angle to the bug paradigm push is fucking dumb because you'd need to breed even more of the fuckers and bugs do the same shit any other animal does but are far more efficient at fucking shit up if a swarm of them get loose.

You're an actual sub-human, lol.
 
Weirdness and worrying propaganda aside, something like mealworms and crickets are honestly not bad at all. Especially when fried. They don't have much taste on their own, I guess slightly nutty? If they're fried properly they're gonna be nice and crunchy, and really feel more like popcorn in a way. I could see fried crickets work well in stuff like fried noodles, even though the imagery is still a cyberpunkian dystopia.
And that's the main problem for me. It's being pushed as a good thing on one side, and deliberately used in media as a staple of dystopian hellholes. Along with shit like pods/shared living spaces, there's this weird push to sell dystopian concepts straight out of William Gibson as a desirable urban future.
But unlike Gibson's Sprawl Trilogy, the future they're trying to sell now is not going to be anarchic and uncontrolled, instead you could be sure that every "co-being space" would have a few dangerhairs ratting out every wrongthink to whatever authority there is.

I don't necessarily mind eating bugs, especially not as a sort of flour or something processed like that. But I do mind the push for it, because trying to push for social change like that against the will of the populace is suspicious af.
You'd think this would be the optimal time for a resurgence of cyberpunk-ish dystopia with a more authoritarian edge, but SciFi outside of the Hard SciFi subgenres seems to be extremely pozzed, and the idea that an authoritarian government crams people together to have them spy and control each other out of wokeness being a bad thing would not fare well.

They only ever get away with that shit because people lack the backbone to stop consooming product.

But if they try this, and people rightfully draw the line and stop eating at fast food joints, restaurants, etc... and they try to enforce it via grocers and the like? Yeah, good luck getting that done without actual violence breaking out.
 
Vegans are retarded. Bugs are animals too.
Do... do vegans actually eat insects? Surface-level research is turning up inconclusive, though I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that it's literally impossible to be vegan on ethical grounds since you still have to kill insects to prevent them from ruining your crops.

Imagine still eating insects after the discovery of agriculture.

Everyone that posts in Thunderdome is sub-human

Though even I couldn't eat roaches, for the same reason I couldn't eat tarantulas. They're my pets.

I do want to try baking/seasoning some mealworms at some point though because the ones in the overpriced snackpacks are good but fuck paying that much. I'd just need to get my colony going really good and IDK when that will be because of all the fatass animals I have that eat them (especially since I've also started putting them in my bird feeder for wild birds).

It's basically impossible to be vegan for ethical/moral reasons simply because of all the cute little rodents/birds/whatever else that die in order for even veggies, grains and fruits to get to your plate. There's not any real way to have food to eat and not have other living things expire in the process. So anyone who self-describes as vegan or vegetarian for the purpose of moralizing to all us horrible, icky meat eaters should hurry up and kill themselves already.
 
If you've ever eaten Tilapia, I have bad news.
They EAT DA POO POO but even barring that they're still cheap trash fish, don't taste that good, and eating it doesn't even have any health benefits. It's the fish version of the homeless std riddled junkie, and they've been pushing it on us/sneaking it onto our plates for like 20-30 years. When they're not giving you bugs, or meat substitutes made with highly processed plant goo, they'll probably be giving you tilapia.
 
Nah human eat tons of decomposers, some are even considered highly desirable luxury foods like lobsters. The average normie is probably exposed to insects far more frequently in daily living than they are to even the most commonly eaten vertebrates. Even if I didn't raise them I'd see insects literally every day. Cows, chicken, and pigs? Not as much.

Humans evolved eating literally everything. We're omnivores. And yeah, insects are including in that, especially in warmer regions that have lots of large edible insects native.

Taste is highly subjective. Like I said, I've personally never been a huge fan of pork. As for jackass attitudes, I'd say the people that act like you murdered a baby just for suggesting they don't eat burgers for literally every meal are just as bad as those vegans. Some people are oddly fragile about the thought of not eating red meat literally every day even though for most of human history red meat wasnt something most people could afford to eat more than sporadically (shit takes a ton of resources to raise).

Fun fact: the only completely carnivorous primates are tarsiers. What do they eat? Insects.
I love Shrimp and Crabcakes and want to try Lobster but it's so expensive which why I'm more open minded on trying insects then the rest of my family. *because honestly Crustaceans ARE bugs deny it all you want but they are *

Don't think I could eat Scorpion or Tarantula though because I'm an arachnophobe and even dead they creep me out.

Ngl Beyondbug might be a future thing.

Scorpion has gotta be like tiny desert lobster, but I don't see someone munching on their prized emperors even as big as they get.
What about those freaky camel spiders? Two could make for a single crabcake all on their own.
 
You guys go on about pods and bugs then proceed to turn around and eat shrimp and lobster
De-shell and weigh the meat that's eaten on a crab (i.e. not the guts), then do the same on a cricket, and tell me which is more efficient to eat.
