      Eating bugs: ewwww.

      Eating wet bugs: finally, some good fucking food.

        Show me a cockroach with the same quantity of meat on it as a shrimp, and I will eat that in a heartbeat. Don’t forget that the cockroach has to be easily peelable.

          Not disagreeing, actually. I’d rather eat arthropods than mammals for a lot of reasons.

            Same here. In full honesty, even from an ethical perspective, they’re about as mindless as you can get and roughly on the same level as insects. They’re a perfect replacement for terrestrial mammal livestock.

            Easy to grow, lots of vital nutrients and protein, and much more sustainable then livestock.

              Well, insects are arthropods. I think they’re fascinating creatures, and they are far from mindless biorobots, but… Yeah, it’d be a lot better than industrial farming of mammals and birds.
