Insects are being promoted as a way to hit UN’s sustainable development goals [1]
There’s also an industry emerging, with big pushes from organizations like WEF, to normalize eating bugs [2]. Investors are getting in on this trend too [3]
Yea insects typically have a high amount of allergens to humans.
It's why bioreactors for things like insulin, igb, etc avoid insects cells if they can.
Are you kidding?
Insect cells used in bioreactors would be an order of magnitude safer than possible insect food ( medical grade is much much higher standard than food grade), and people still avoid it as much as possible .
That should tell you "food grade" insects have enormous risk associated with them.
Well if I look at peanuts again, an order of magnitude safer would still be something to avoid very strongly in bioreactors.
At this point I'll keep an eye out but insects are such a broad and mostly unexplored category that I'm not convinced there's an unavoidable and crippling allergen risk.
in what world will people eat bugs instead of beef, do bugs taste anywhere as good as beef? all the push from the supply side doesn't fix the demand problem.
"Eat the bugs", "Woke", "Socialist" can all be used in a positive way it's just that they are also often used by the US right wing in a negative way. You'll understand that when Alex Jones is calling a democrat "woke" he is using it in implying being woke is a bad thing. "Eat the bugs" is similar and is more common in the anti globalist conspiracist circles.
