I want to finally re-open my mealworm farm to raise meat in the city, legally. They will supply me with meat, fertilizer for my garden and can digest styrofoam and scraps. It's a win-win really. What are the downsides Yas Forums? For extra points, use non-religious arguments.

I've had mealworms. They're surprisingly not as bad as I thought they'd be. Just mildly nutty. Honestly I don't want to replace meat with bugs, but I think insects are interesting texturally and taste wise and I could consider them being in food. I eat crabs & shit already, it's basically just water bugs.
I prefer crickets. You can mill them into flour and add it to baked goods for extra nutrition without actually having to “eat the bugs”
You feed those to chickens and pigs not humans moron
The smell if you keep them in styrofoam.
At least give them buggers a little earth and leafs. Many leafs.
Tree maggots are amazing. Like cashews.
So you eat styrofoam?
In the city, you can't.
I eat carbon basically.
Why not breed rabbits and snails
Why do you have to immediately go for mealworms?
Rabbits yield higher meat, escargot is in high demand in Europe
>mealworms
>meat
>what are the downsides
i dunno how about eating fucking mealworms
They are gross
That's more of a statement, really
Yes Goyim, continue eating styrofoam and other xenoestrogens.
Insects have better yields and use less water, mate.
All shit in your pic will give you cancer.
>not eating gator meat for 46g lean protein per 3oz serving
Rabbits yield pelts, and are not too hard to take care of; they reproduce quickly and if you use a cage all their shit can be used and mulched into compost or fertilizer. A worm will maybe give some meat but it'll be very meager; if they escape you'll have an infestation too which can make your neighbors or flat mates pissed
I will never eat bugs. I would kill you before I was forced to eat bugs. I'm a human being not an animal that crawls on the ground and scavenges for bugs and scraps.
move to the coast and farm clams or oysters

Locusts are better and they taste like shrimps.
Jews really did a trick on you.
Worms are ew.
Worms are not insects with hard exoskeleton. Also, meat is meat. Aminoacids and atoms are all the same.
Meal worms are so fucking disgusting it makes the hair stand up in my neck. I used to feed these to my geckos for years. They aren't even really "worms" but larvae of a type of beetle or something. They change in stages after weeks and slowly transform, it's so absolutely disgusting I would rather go full vegan than eat shit like this.
How do you farm locust
Any guides or advice?
I'm fixing to farm some rabbits, snails and some of these bad boys
Everything gives you cancer
I raise meal works on trash shit in a cage to feed chickens. The chicken shit feeds some algae that my tilapia eats.
I will eat bugs if they can be made to taste okay
but it's more logical to make sure my chickens eat their fair share of bugs so their meat and eggs can be of a higher quality
Most farms fucking starve their chickens by only offering them a vegetarian diet. Chickens are omnivores, they're supposed to eat mice and bugs and lizards and whatever else they can catch.
Nigger do you even survival? You grub around while you gather materials form shelter and set traps, in the meantime you eat whatever juicy insects you can find. Don’t be a decadent cunt, you’re embarrassing all of us.
So do scorpions but I don't see a cottage industry being made there.
They can actually eat styrofoam?
Did you get a grant by writing to your city council? I want to feed people bugs and make money off it.
ok zhang
EU stopped funding insect farming because fuck us that's why.
Why has it taken us so long to farm locusts for food? We had biblical plagues of them eating our fucking crops, so it seems fair to just eat the bugs.
No thanks you demonic fuckers.
Yeah, but you don't pick up a maggot off a rotting carcass and chug it in your word hole just because atoms are all the same.
never had tree maggots, but ive had maggots from the hospital. i do'nt know what they feed them but they are fat, green, and taste like gangreen.
>grossed out by metamorphosis
god I havent used that word in like a decade, very refreshing
whats gross about insects tho, Ive eaten crickets in thailand and they honestly are like eating chips and taste mostly like the oil their fried in. now grubs and other large larvae are fucking weird and i probably wouldnt eat a spider either because all of those are likely to be squishy and runny in texture like a really bad runny egg kind with consistency of jellyfish
The Bible allows eating of locusts, crickets, or grasshoppers. Whites are obviously rerarded and don't read their Bible.
I hope this catches on. I want styrofoam to make a comeback.
Nigger, the Bible.
Leviticus 11:22
>Of them you may eat: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind.
I've been farming roaches from the local storm drains and sewers for years now. Been exporting them as natural protein. Making a good buck from it.
I WILL NEVER EAT A BUG YOU KIKE
fun fact. oxygen oxidizes your cells and eventually gives you cancer because of damaged DNA. even oxygen gives you cancer.
IT'S IN THE BIBLE YOU CRETIN!
lol based leaf
You'll never make me eat a bug you bug eating freak. It's inhuman.
its in the bible goy! eat the bugs you heretic, don't be anti-semetic!
Make up your minds nig-nogs.
The Bible says it's ok and Greta tells you that it's ok. Maybe you are the one who is retarded, huh?
Lobster isn't ok
Prawns aren't OK
they are heathens user.
