>Chitin (KY-tin) is a large, structural polysaccharide made from chains of modified glucose. Chitin is found in the exoskeletons of insects, the cell walls of fungi, and certain hard structures in invertebrates and fish. In terms of abundance, chitin is second to only cellulose. >Like cellulose, no vertebrate animals can digest chitin on their own. >Like cellulose, no vertebrate animals can digest chitin on their own. >Like cellulose, no vertebrate animals can digest chitin on their own. >Like cellulose, no vertebrate animals can digest chitin on their own. >Like cellulose, no vertebrate animals can digest chitin on their own.
AND JUST FOR GOOD LUCK YOU VILL ENJOY ZEE PARASITES!!! >A parasitological evaluation of edible insects and their role in the transmission of parasitic diseases to humans and animals
Even if it was, insects would be incomplete, disgusting and unhealthy.

Retard here, wouldn't we just shit the shells out? Or is the gnat that flew into my mouth while I was on a walk last week part of me forever now?

Most insectivore animals poop out the bug broken chitin exoskeletons. I'm, lv 99 smithing in runescape. I'm like lv 20 smithing irl. How do I grind to lv 99 irl?
The point is your body is not converting the chitin in usable, storable energy.

user, you are forgetting that mammals have an immune reaction when chitin is detected by the body in the stomach or lungs. We, humans, are specially subseptible to this because we lack the real chitinase to dismantle chitin. Our immune system release phagocites and t cells once the body detects chitin. Nature is wise and nature knows That ze bugs are not good for us. Bugs carry several types of bacteria, this is special of their chitin, which is on a constant battle against chitin eating bacteria that are actively trying to eat it. They protect themselves with oil like secretions that give bugs their particular smell.

>bugs are 100% protein, even the shell is made out of protein >shell is most of the bug's weight >forgets to mention that shell isn't digested, so they are barely nutritious
