The credibility of relying on insects as sources of protein in the diets of humans is 32 substantiated by evidence of numerous nutrition, health, and environmental benefits. Insects can provide protein of comparable biological value to meat and fish. Insects also provide high-quality monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids and are rich sources of minerals and vitamins such as iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, selenium, biotin and pantothenic acid.
What a dumb infographic, it should state the amount by grams not calories. A cricket has 121 calories per 100 gram while a cow has 271 calories per 100 gram. Making the cow for more nutritious per gram

You are still consuming a relatively same amount of food. It is not like vegan graphics that compare protein content of 500 kilocalories of beef vs 500 of brocoli.

i will NOT eat bugs i will NOT live in a pod
Daniel Allen
What if I am on cut though?
Adrian Russell
Eat chicken
Dylan Torres
I do not see the difference between eating bugs and anything else. We literally eat the flesh and organs of animals and the periods of chickens. Do you not eat lobster, crab or mussels?
Matthew Smith
must....join the hivemind.......must......eat the bugs............uhhhhhhhhhh.......must.....consoom
Grayson Jenkins
nice try greta
Eli Bell
Yeah, no. I juat look at it objectively. I would eat people if the meat was safe and sold cheaply.
Alexander Rodriguez
Are they cheap?
I'll eat crickets if cheap.
Mason Hernandez
Except you do literally have to consume food to survive.
Nathaniel Peterson
They need to be processes into something that doesn't look or feel disgusting and can be eaten normally, and the price has to go down.
In time I can imagine enviromental regulations pushing the meat of grazing animals into more of a luxury thing due to methane emissions(unless that gamble with seaweed pays off) and then cricket bars or powder could compete with pork, poultry or farmed fish. But we're not there yet.
Ryder Green
I drink my own cum but I WILL NEVER EAT FUCKING CRICKETS
The main difference is insects process plant matter into animal protein more efficiently than large animals, and with no methane emissions.
It's one of many potential options to mass produce protein if the climate gets really fucked and/or the population grows even more. There's also algae, those are way better than not-onion for plant protein. These would then be processed into something that's edible and very cheap.
I doubt we'll neeed any of these but it's good to explore options, in case shit gets really bad and also for long-term Mars missions, etc.
Parker Williams
Lol nope, they're more expensive than beef.
Bentley Hughes
Prove it

300 grams is $23 but it’s nutrient dense. I take 4 teaspoons daily which is about 30 grams of protein and lasts about a month.

>Because of pussies like the ones in this thread, I'll never get cheap gains-giving bug bars in the US to get those sweet sweet macros
Alexander Wilson
I don't care how they look. Texture is more an issue for me, which in this case is fine, I like crunch. Liver is still rough for me, I hate slimy and spongy.
Brandon Lewis
fuck you nigger
Ryan Sullivan
>"but goy think of all the protein! think of the environment!"
>and the periods of chickens You use a dishonest language to make people think eating an egg and drinking blood from a woman's period is the same exact thing
Yeah it's not really edible as-is, not for the protein anyway. It would have to be extracted and made into some processed food, or more likely used as animal feed instead of onion.
Dominic Allen
What's that from? Looks like something r/AsianMasculinity would come up with lmao
Jacob Perry
I WILL NOT LIVE IN THE POG AND I WILL NOT EAT BUGS
Joshua Gonzalez
It's from a fit meet up.

>2.5B "people" eat them 3.5B "people" have a double digit IQ. It will be even more if the Jews keep controlling our nutrition
Nolan Phillips
I used to eat baked grasshopper its ok but i would never have it as a main diet. Bugs are at best a snack food.
James Turner
Do you actually have an argument against insects' nutritional value or just "EWWWW, and JEWS!" Those same jews are the ones who used to push expensive "fancy" foods.
Camden Jenkins
so fucking gross ewww i'm off to eat shrimps lulz
Joseph Richardson
mmm shrimp :D
Evan Green
The fact that they're measuring this in calories is proof that this is bullshit.
Cooper Anderson
There will come a day when we live in 4x4m apartments and even the quality of the bugs we eat begins to decrease. We'll eat hay instead of rice
Ryan Williams
eating dumb shit like this is why we have the coronavirus on our hands, eating bugs would kill us all
I have eaten the bugs and honestly it's no different from any other broton powder.
James Thomas
Because I don't want to.
