I will not eat the bugs
I will not live in the pod
I will own property
I will be happy

Yeah if we switched to insects I would starve to death with a smile on my face.

You will eat the bugs
You will live in a pod
You will own nothing

People can eat insects for all I care, just as long as I can keep eating my cows.

[reptilevlogs]

If it tastes good and doesn't smell I don't care.

I ate crickets in middle school for a project once. I basically gave a speech that said a lot of the stuff in this video and ended it by eating a cricket.

remember when eating algae was considered the ultimate solution to all hunger problems on earth?

... besides we don't have a food growing/creation problem, we have a distribution problem. the good foods that are thrown away in most western civilizations for dubious reasons (market price regulation, overproduction, ... ) could easily fill all the hungry mouths on earth.

i know. not the focus of the video.

I'm actually looking forward to a future where insects are common to eat. Mainly because of easy breeding and large quantity.

Mom: alright kiddo open fucc wide I found this behind the refrigerator

[garnetstone]

I am open to the idea of eating insects, but I would prefer my bugs to be made into something unrecognizable so I won't be hesitant to eat them.

[hiddenechoes]

Still trying to convince my friends, but my roommates FINALLY stopped stealing my food. (Whether it's insect or not they are scared now!!!!)

[benstr]

Short answer: NO!


Long answer: NOOO!!!
