    Grasshoppers and locusts have a nice earthy taste, similar to shrimp but also not exactly the same. They lack the slightly fishy taste that shrimp has.

    Yeah, Humans. Stop being such hypocrites. Arthropods from the sea and ones from land are both delicious when prepared right, and a great source of protein, you should give them a try. I know there are some people who aren’t hypocritical and do enjoy both but many are.

      The logic of eating bugs is undeniable, but so is the revulsion. I need it in a form where I can tell myself it’s just anonymous protein. If we can turn a blind eye to what goes on in factory farms and slaughterhouses, we should be able to not look at where our bugburgers come from as well.

        based and “protein flour” pilled

        but also here’s the thing: there’s no fucking need to have that protein flour come from insects, legumes exist! We already have about as good of an alternative protein source as we’re ever going to get, Textured Vegetable Protein is an amazing substance.
