I'm not sure how much difference there is between insects and some types of seafood. Balmain and Moreton Bay Bugs, for example.

Yep, I enjoyed a few fresh-caught yabbies when I was out and about in Victoria back in the day.

Brave new world:

Shame on you for living like you did in the past.
Shame on you for warming up like you did in the past.
Shame on you for eating like you did in the past.
Shame on you if your purpose is not to feed others and give them a better standard of living than you lived in the past.

Eating insects is essential in some areas of the Earth. People eat them not because they can't think of anything better, but because there is nothing else to eat. That's why they try to talk down them to eating insects, and force it on those who know that it happened only if in the history there was an epidemic, famine or war in their country.

In a culture where eating insects is synonymous with poverty and survival, I find it particularly tasteless to force it. But to eat worms: it was never a part of our history.

During military flight school, I took several survival courses in different environments, including desert and jungle. We ate Grasshoppers, Beatles, spiders. Surprisingly, they didn’t taste that bad…

…. But they gave me gas.

That's certainly the Klaus Schwab plan for us plebs.

Eaten grasshoppers and insect larvae in Thailand and Indonesia. Can be quite delicious.

I had a steak and a wedge salad last night with bleu cheese, Thanks anyway.

I like it, but blue cheese would be considered quite repulsive in much of the world where moldy food is generally avoided.

I’ll stick with these

If you eat lab made beyond meat, whey powder, farmed fish, or or lab grow mammal meat you can’t knock insect protein, can you?

I was under the impression that lab meat was a genetically modified organism, molded and colored to appear like meat. There is insect protein too?

I had deep fried jungle spiders in Panama. They had a nice crunch and tasted like crab.

I may have misunderstood your point.

At that time back when I still eat meat, I didn't have a problem that the animals eat insects or worms to build up meat. The huge antibiotics and steroic cure was much more repulsive for me.

For this reason, I think that's eating insects or worms is not the same as adding nutrients extracted from them to some foods. The latter is completly acceptable, and sometimes more then reasonable. Even in some special cases it could be fun to eat some jucy insects in some exotic place.

However these new kind of progressive ideologies are far away from these, as they want to replace the animal made natural meal with factory refurbished worm SPAM.

Those are all probably even more gross unless the bugs are grown on a big farm and fed full of GMOs

It’s not what most people think it is that’s for sure. It’s certainly not the type of plant based vegetables would be.

That's the problem. They continue to add chemicals and dyes to fake it into being appetizing. If it's good it should stand on its own merit.

The impossible burger is not a wholesome vegetable product. It is perhaps the most industrially modified substance sold as food for human consumption. It should be named the Blade Runner Burger.

It's odd that the people who avoid anything GMO will buy this entirely synthetic product as an alternative to beef.

I look forward to standing in the line for my tickets to the government-run insect gruel line. Oppressed peoples will get fast passes, so my time in the line may never end.
