What are your thoughts on food products containing bug or maggot based protein? Is it really going to help with food shortage enough to justify? |

Its not about food shortages. Bugs are being pushed as a sustainable food with no environmental footprint. Thats ok if youre walking around grabbing one from the ground to snack on . Take shadows pie sweatshop for example. They replace beef with bugs. The farming and footprint is unknown and I suspect it will be no less than that of cattle

Seems more like a easy profit than to mess around with plant based protein to me. ![]() |

I guess you don't know that the Earth has had at least two hyper-oxyghenation events in the past. And that waa not a good thing. |

@ ogdenz - 31.01.23 - 08:19am Which category do you fall into Alvar? In the poor category with the rest of the 99 percent but i can grow my own food and avoid this nonsense. Until then i hope they atleast keep labeling products they put crap inside. |

Couple years back there was some buzz about using grasshoppers/locusts/crickets etc. as a source for proteins and stuff. There were protein bars and such made, but recently haven't heard anything about them.

''Not a good thing'' - odd conclusion to come to when the dramatic rise in oxygen levels helped to make the planet far more inhabitable for countless species of flora and fauna. |

@ ladibud - 5.02.23 - 06:49am nothing new having bugs in food. we just never really knew about it or realised it. Food standards agencies usually have 'acceptable limits' for such things*, which can vary wildly from country to country. *not just bugs/insects(or pieces thereof) but other contaminates like for example rodent hairs and feaces. |
