The crickets have completely taken over my house CHHRRRRRRPP CHHRRRRRRPP CHHRRRRRRPP CCHHHHHRRRRRRRRAAAAAAPPP
>>540392009turns out it's really expensive to raise food grade bugs. climate control makes it more expensive than pigs, cows, chickens, fishyou can buy bug meat, at like $40 a pound
>>540392274so what's the cheap climate-change-proof alternative? algae? i'll eat anything pls just let me buy cheap slop
>>540392009Never.Insect cichten is rich in protein that our digestive system simply can't efficiently process. There are some theoretical advantages to it from a facilities standpoint if you are looking to produce protein for something else - like chickens - but the aggregate reality is that chickens are just as effective at converting plant biomass into animal proteins and that protein is far more accessible to us.There are some arguments for fish farms and other such things, but chickens are about as good as it gets when it comes to protein on a budget.Unless you want to explore lab meat ideas, and while I do think that will be a thing in the future, I am not really sure we have hit on the proper implementation. Even then, by time you factor in support systems and processing systems to feed whatever cellular mass they are making and keep it alive, it may have trouble competing with self contained animals. A lot of byproducts come from animal processing that have little other sources. Factory farms are very efficient at processing nearly all of an animal into something for the industry and not all of that is protein.You want larger herd sizes and better coupling of the slaughter house to the cooking.
>>540392009The big EU company making crickets for human consumption went out of business at the beginning of the year because their USAID got cut. So, never, not until you get some EUAID that'll cover this retarded shit, and you're too poor to do much more than spam bait on the Internet these days.
>>540392412>Climate change proof.No such thing. We could got back to a bronze age tier civilization and we would still have an effect on the planet.
>>540392274Yep.Bunch of startup companies that even had government funding and tax breaks have already gone bankrupt.
They taste like trash, i was fooled by some co-workers in the south to eat fried crickets and chocolate cockroaches, lucky enough i didn't get the ant larvae tacos.If it has four legs and it's not a chair, it flies and it's not a plane, and if it swims but it's not a sub, the southerners will eat it.
>>540392934This is the reality of the situation, except that a Bronze Age civilization would essentially erase the current human population overnight. Try 100k total, if we even survive.
>>540392412Beans, nigger
>>540392009I am pro bugs for livestock feed. Bugs help my chickens produce the most nutritious eggs and meat
>>540392412Just buy rice and beans retard
>>540392412Sóy
>>540392412>so what's the cheap climate-change-proof alternative?yard bird
>>540392009You don't get crickets, that's for the upper middle class. They get to have 1 per day and cook it like a lobster. No butter though goyim.You get zee maggots goyim in Democratic Socialism. You vill be happy comrade!
>>540392412Eat brown rice, its healthier than normal rice if you cook it properly. And its really cheap.
>>540393932The grub is good!
>>540393014funny they thought animals domesticated for thousand of years to be economical sources of protein, could be improved on by environmental science dropouts
If they start putting them in burgers, I am going to sell the ones we have at work in our office! lolAll profits are going into my retirement investment portfolio, on drip.
>>540392526Wormmeal... :DWhatever the fuck is blended in it....you can call it McDonald's! lol
Put a cricket colony in a covered wagon and drag it from Louisiana to Oregon. You'll be eating your dead family members way before Utah.
>>540392009Cricket food is already available and it’s not cheaper than other foods and if I had to describe this protein powder I’d say it’s probably what ground up smoked cigarettes taste like.
>>540394436Why didn't all the people on the Oregon Trail eat bugs all the way there? I've driven it (more or less following the freeways) many times and by the number of bugs on the car when you are done, there's more than enough for everybody.
>>540394488that's $670 a pound
>>540392009We have been eating those things all along
>>540394762wagons were slower. few had windshields to harvest
>>540394845I didn't even think of this. It's a two day drive, three if you take it easy, from St. Louis to Portland. And you'll need a windshield.
>>540392009Whats stopping you? You lazynigger leftists are something else. You even need big daddy government to catch your meal crickets for you too? You can't even do that for yourself? Unbelievable.
>>540392009Europe already discreetly adds them to their food.
>>540392412>i'll eat anything plsSomething tells me you won't eat a bacon cheese burger.
>>540393309we literally dont need more now that we have AI
>>540392274I breed feeder roaches for reptiles and I make good money, but honestly crickets are fucking dirty by nature and their metabolism is way too fast to be realistically sustainable on a national level. They're also very prone to parasites and diseases that can will wipe out entire cultures and potentially infect the people who would eat them. If you think mad cow disease was bad just wait until you realize shit like cordyceps could jump species if it becomes familiar enough with our bodies.
>>540394923Not a lot of people know that. The bugs would just move out of the way.
>>540395354I've never been walking (at which pace a waggon would go) and have a bug actually die from impacting off my surface.
>>540395096gnarly. I bough a box of 20 crickets for a lizard once, Were only like six, that had cannibalized on the other 14. loved watching them get munched
>>540395443I have, but it was really windy, and the bug was already sick. Like covid, he didn't die from my forehead, he died WITH my forehead
>>540395572I will say with all honesty that I never saw this myself, but one day I was walking on the beach and there was a flock of seagulls, red-spotted ones, and one of them just fell out of the air and hit the beach full force and I walked up to it and it was, of course, dead as a stone. Never figured out why it died, it looked healthy too.
>>540395646Vaxxx status?
>>540395646I saw a duck fly full speed into a tree trunk once. I think he was showing off
Its toxic to humans but not birds. Just feed it to chicken instead while enjoying meat and eggs.
>>540395848kek>>540395857I saw this with a duck and a jogger once, the jogger was fully bowled over and the duck recovered in seconds and pecked at the poor chick and then took off again.
>>540392009just learn to cook faggot. It's time. You have no choice now unless you would actually rather eat bugs you subhuman nigger.
>>540395900I used to live near this park. Never got to see a jogger attacked, but so common they made a sign.
>>540396037I have been attacked many times by mallard ducks, they can't do shit though. But if you get attacked by a Muscovy Duck you will change your tune quick, they have a hooked beak that looks like an eagle's. They can and will easily fuck you up.
>>540395096i remember reading about a major producer that went bankrupt for those reasons.
>>540396188"The Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) is a species of duck native to the Americas, from the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas and Mexico south to Argentina"never seen one. hard motherfuckers
>>540392412lol
>>540392009This would unironically hurt rich people and eat the bug would need a huge mark up and regulations or else society would just have their own bugs
>>540396417You better never get fucked by one of those kinds of ducks either. Looks like it would be very uncomfortable.
>>540396417they are like, raptor ducksthey will fuck up a dog lol
>>540392412A bullet to your brain, do it already.
>>540396417looks demonic
>>540394488So it's not only absolutely disgusting but also much more expensive than regular meat
Never. Proteins from insects make humans unable to absorb other proteins, meaning, they will undernourish you. That's why indigenous are midgets, malnourished, odd looking, with underdeveloped skull shape. Basically subhumans.
>>540396417I have one. She's a nice duck. She barely makes noise and is a natural leader.
>>540398317I bought it because I’m a meathead and my roommate dared me. I was gagging immediately, it’s like emptying an ashtray into a protein shaker cup. I grilled and ate a giant grasshopper once because of a dare and it didn’t taste as bad.
>>540392154Buy a six pack of pop and drink them down until there’s about 1/4 of an inch left in the can. Then set the cans on their sides around the house. Crickets are attracted to sweet stuff so they crawl into the can and get trapped and die. It’s an old school farmer thing.
