Chitin is bad >for you.
>>539704398Bug exoskeleton is made of chitin which is not digestible by humans. It causes immune response issues, alzheimer’s, strokes, heart attacks, sterilisation, cancer and liver failure
>>539704398social media clickbait videos only feed the account owners and amerimutt shills spamming them on /pol/ not people watching it
>>539704398Protein is a meme. Virtually everyone who is getting enough calories is getting enough protein. The only exception is if you're like a bodybuilder or something, but those aren't regular people.
>>539704578Stress less chang, chinks can digest chitin just fine, it's more akin to cannibalism.
>>539704398Bugs are anything but simple and inexpensive. I raise dubia roaches for my lizard, and you have to feed them actual proper food in order to not have bacteria and other problems with them or for the lizard.There is no system you could design which makes bugs make sense as food for humans. The only niche for them is as part of a waste-management system, where food waste is converted to maggots, and the maggots are fed to chickens.
>>539704398Feed the bugs to chickens. Eat the chickens and their eggs. Ya know, like humans have done for 6000+ years. Why all of a sudden do we need to change this after literal unironic millenia? Why is this even a thing?
Why are chinks obsessed with eating shit while it's still alive?
>>539704398chitin causes cancer
I wouldn't eat that even if a kike promised me million dollars for doing so.
>>539704446Its fiber>Chitin is a natural sugar polymer that forms the outer shells of insects and crustaceans and the cell walls of fungi.
>>539704446>>539704491>>539704910The short answer is yes, but only partially.For a long time, the scientific consensus was that humans were completely unable to digest chitin, assuming it passed through the digestive tract untouched, much like plant cellulose. However, research has shown that our bodies actually do have mechanisms to process it.How We Digest It * The AMCase Enzyme: The human stomach produces a specific enzyme called acidic mammalian chitinase (AMCase). This enzyme breaks the chemical bonds in chitin, turning it into N-acetylglucosamine, a compound the body can absorb. * Gut Fermentation: Any chitin that isn't fully broken down in the stomach travels to the large intestine, where the gut microbiota (including specific Bacteroides strains) ferments it into short-chain fatty acids that support colon health.Its Limits as FoodAlthough we have the biological tools to digest it, chitin acts in the body almost identically to an insoluble dietary fiber: * Limited Efficiency: We don't absorb 100% of the chitin we ingest. Tougher or thicker structures (like the rigid elytra or wing covers of beetles) won't fully break down and are eliminated in stool. * The Impact of Processing: Cooking, grinding, or processing food (such as cricket flour or well-cooked shellfish) softens chitin's molecular structure, making it much easier for AMCase to break down. * Individual Adaptation: People or communities with diets traditionally rich in insects (entomophagy) often exhibit higher AMCase enzyme activity and a gut microbiome better suited to extract its nutrients.Ultimately, chitin isn't an indigestible substance for humans—it's a compound we partially process that provides benefits very similar to vegetable fiber.
>>539704840True lol. lmao.
>>539704398>what's wrong with eating bugztoo much flavour
>>539704840>Feed the bugs to chickens. Eat the chickens and their eggs. Ya know, like humans have done for 6000+ years. Why all of a sudden do we need to change this after literal unironic millenia? Why is this even a thing?Because chickens and eggs are good for you, chicken shit and chicken feathers are good for your garden, and all of it is cheap, inexpensive and very easy to do for yourself.They can't have that.
Ching chong chang preaase eat bugz witto piggu
>>539704398Beef in china is much cheaper for Chinese based on income than it is in America.
>>539704398>what's wrongnothing is wrong, ChingChong, keep at itsame as being a faggot, so keep at that too
>>539704713>Protein is a memeyou know all about that don't you
>>539705035you eat them first for 10 years then report back , okay ? thanks !
>>539704398>Lao is china
>>539704491>not digestible by humanseh... as if that matters
>>539705035>such as cricket flour or well-cooked shellfish>such as cricket flour tfw $60 a lb
>>539705564chinese are so damn weird , they try to eat anything and everything.
>>539704398They are 90% feces by weight, people are allergic to chitin and bugs eat shit and carrion. There's no way for it to be healthy. It's just a joke by the elite to make us peasants eat bugs.
>>539705405I gave your mom some protein last night
>>539704398>Kids plays with bugs>white trash retards: They're eating itkys you appalachian cripple
>>539704398Bugs are ChinkfoodAre you a Chink?
>>539705014Its not. It turns into essentially microscopic razor blades that your body cannot digest.
>>539704398they will count the shells as proteins on the label but you will poop them out
>>539704578>and glowniggers and shills spamming them on /pol/ not people watching it
>>539705014>its fiber>quote literally states it's not fiber...are we good?
>>539704840>Feed the bugs to chickens. Eat the chickens and their eggs. >Ya know, like humans have done for million+ years. True. Correct. >Why is this even a thing?They want you to be poisoned and dying , so that their Big Pharma companies can make more profits.
>>539704398Ok feed it to the Africans and third worlders.
>>539704398You can eat them if you want, I just don't like them.
>>539704398Because that's fucking disgusting.
>>539705035NnnnnopeBeef or leave
>>539705573Wow amazingNow do whey which is actually ok to consume and quickly absorbed (within reason, obviously whey will make you shit bricks)
>>539704398Bugs are low in protein compared to other sources. Your body can't digest all bug proteins, the way it can proteins in things like milk, eggs, and animal meat. In fact even with meat only about 90% of the protein is digestible (it's about 30% for bugs). If you're protein maxxing you really just want milk (effectively 100%) and eggs (97-99%).
