I run a small company and we farm mealworms to grind them up into powder which can be added into foods to make them up to 60% cheaper. What's the problem?
Why do you hate the bugs?

I'm genuinely curious what the moral problem is here for some anons. Insects are nutritious, healthy and make foods cheaper.
Does the protein from insects provide the same value to the human body as beef and chicken? Oh they don't? Sage.
it's not really the bugs themselves that are the problem. the political implications behind it are what pisses me off. every time you eat a bug you are reminded of who owns and controls you.
>nutritious
They aren't. They bullshit with nutritional value by counting in the chitin armor (which is not digestible), and ignoring the fact that not all proteins are made equal.
>healthy
No they aren't. The entire point of EAT ZHE BUGS is that they would be produced in trillions. Subjecting each bug to the same animal standards as cattle would be impossible due to their sheer number. Furthermore, the promise of bug farming is that they can be sustained on literal shit, and other biological debris. Harmful materials could be deposited in the bugs from their feed, which, once again, would be impossible to hold to the (meager) health standard normal cattle food is.
>cheaper
Might be at first, but it still not worth it. But then again, globohmo fears the independent farmer, which is one of the reasons they push this whole thing, bug farming is industrial, rather than agricultural in nature. Once the bug industry and deliberately retarded regulations destroy farmers and bugs are produced by the Monsanto-Nestle-Associated British Foods trinity, they will cartel as usual and jack prices as high as they want.
are you implying that a paper cup filled with fried bugs is less nutritious than a medium rare prime rib?
I ain’t eatin no fuckin bugs. I know British food is so awful you named a third-world poo country’s food your national cuisine, but bugs? You’re seriously open to eating fucking bugs?
It literally does. 100g of mealworms has 24 grams of protein.
We already eat bugs a lot though. The food colouring used in Mcdonald's milkshakes is made with bugs because it provides some of the highest quality colouring out there for a low cost. The bugs that we produce are ground up into powder anyways so you'll still be eating the same food but you're going to bulk up easier.

A fox "therian" (he doesn't call himself that nor do I, but it somewhat accurately describes him) friend of mine catches and eats moths. Apparently they are actually pretty delicious. I eat some pretty weird shit like dandilions and cattails and evergreen leafs, but despits his testimony I refuse to eat moths. No way.
Do you strip out the poop-chute part of the bug before serving it?
No?
Then we'd be eating bug shit.
No thanks. YOU eat bug shit.
even if you convinced me that bugs are equal to alex jones protein supplements if I was seated before a paper cup filled with bugs and a beautifully marbled texas T-bone then I would choose the latter
They would be produced in the trillions and they don't NEED the same standards as cattle, you can have 10s of millions of bugs on a single floor of building.
bug farming can literally be done by anyone with mealworm eggs, some space and any trash to feed them with.
>British food
Insulting my country's food isn't a reason for hating bugs, just tell me your reason so i can respond to it.
its written in the bible that the only bugs that white people eat are grasshopper species
what?
>I'm a farmer... this is a protein farm
>my company grinds bugs up so it can be hidden in your food
And this is reason #257 I’m glad I don’t eat processed foods.
You should move to China and marry some chinky mongoloid bug eater. Maybe you can look this girl up. She’ll eat you out of house and home.

dullard, fool, idiot.
Bugs are fucking disgusting is why I won’t eat them, retard. I am a human being with some small scrap of self respect.
we starve them for an appropriate amount of time to empty the digestive tract
i guarantee that i could make an artificial steak that would look 10 times better than a natural one with all it's imperfections
dude we used to think lobsters were just big bugs and gave therm only to poor people to eat but we changed our minds once we found out they were nutritious as fuck
where in the bible is that?
At least we will get rid of people like this
If i gave you two burgers and they tasted the same but one was almost 1/2 better than the other in terms of protein would you pick the better one? of course so why does this change when i tell you that one has bugs and the other doesnt?
