Yeah... no. I'd go vegetarian before it ever comes to that.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Bug. It's what's for dinner.

 

[ImpulsE69]

I realize that in some parts of the world insects/larvae are normal means of nutrition.....but no. Just couldn't do it.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Ewwww. I can eat pretty much anything but there's something about bugs that freak me out. Duck fetus? Sure gimme some salt/pepper. Fly larvae *barf*

80% of the world eats bugs. It's only weird here

 

[OverVolt]

Moooooooooooooooo

Music to my ears.

 

[Rakehellion]

Been growing it for years.

If you think about it, you're just eating a steak minus a few hundred million years of evolution.

 

[manimal]

well they need to genetically engineer one that gets fatter and tastes like chicken.


It will be huge. Lets call it Soylent Yellow.

Yeah, I remember watching Top Gear and Jeremy was eating all sorts of bugs in one of the specials. Burma, I think.

Ya know if the apocalypse happened and the world ended up like fallout 3... I think I could maybe eat that. We're not there yet though so ill stick with whey powder :thumbsup:

 

[shortylickens]

that might be helpful as I expend protein on a regular basis......

 

[Ken g6]

So if that's the new protein is this the new protein shake?

 

[DigDog]

in b4 preppers going wild for this.

Have you had any of these? I'm curious as to how they are...

 

[NikolaeVarius]

I would be fine with it as long as I don't literally see bugs in my food. Otherwise, I've had bug based products and they were fine.

But really, its all cultural. The majority of the human population eats bugs.

 

[darkewaffle]

I think it's a good idea, but yeah it's going to have a hard time ever catching on here. Definitely very forward thinking. I'd avoid eating them raw though, prepared I could do.

 

[lozina]

Eh.... I'd rather grow mushrooms in my basement for protein

 

[SP33Demon]

As long it's chopped up and ground, no big deal.

So you're telling me that I don't have to cut myself?
