Humans can and are conditioned to enjoy many things. No reason eating bugs won't be on that list.

I dint get how bug/fish farming is diff from regular farming. Amazing how much yield you can get off a farm.
Bible told us which bugs we could eat. They ate em. Crickets might be on the list.

I could eat crickets or ants, and maybe a few other bugs, but never a roach. Damn things are just ugly and nasty. But, from what I have read the idea would be to extract the protein and prepare it so would not even know it was a bug. Kind of like making ground beef.

Don't need tons of petro chemicals and acreage to grow bugs. I am gonna raise maggots for our chickens (when I get chickens).

Don't need tons of petro chemicals and acreage to grow bugs. I am gonna raise maggots for our chickens (when I get chickens). You don't need petro chemicals to grow food. Ever heard of organic? (sarcasm but in a friendly way) My nephew is a real life farmer and grows organic corn & soybeans. Hundreds of acres. See what you can do about a worm farm, maybe find a way to raise meal worms for the chickens. The worm farm works off stuff you'd put in compost. My wife has one. She "harvests" the "tea" and the casings for her garden. Chickens are on the once we retire list. As for the maggots - road kill wired on a tree branch that hangs out over the water works great for attracting and holding brim - tilapia farmers do this too. Be kinda stinky for your backyard tho..

Then those bastards grind them up, label them some innocuous sounding name and surreptitiously hide them in your favorite processed foods.
