See I can get behind this. When they figure out a way to optimize the production, make it cost the same, have the same nutritional profile, and taste the same, I'd be down to switch over.
You'll have more success with this than trying to get people to eat bugs, I'll tell you that much.

Lots of people already do eat bugs. It's a pretty time and place specific taboo.

Because insects are nutritious and sustainable, even though they're currently taboo in the west.
>No one is paying celebrities millions to convince people that steak is good.
You sure?

>You think Asians are all living in bamboo huts in the middle of the jungle eating insects?
No
>These people eat a wide variety of dishes, stir fried meats, meats and noodles and rice, barbecue fish, pork, chicken, duck.
Yes, and also a variety of insects. There's nothing wrong with that.
>Yes there are Asian countries that eat insects but they do not make up the bulk of their diet
I never said they did. Humans are omnivores.
>No one is serving a big pile of insects on the dinner table as a main meal.
Great job defeating that strawman?

Dude, I never said anything like that--just that insects are nutritious, and should be a food source. I don't know where you're getting sammies and lasagna from.
>Your head is full of delusional insect propaganda.
This is a genuinely hilarious line. No notes 😂

You’ll he slurping the cricket protein smoothie like the rest of us. People like chicken in nugget for to not resemble the animals it once was in the same way. It’ll just take the trend to say it’s hip from a younger gen to get used to it. As with Anthony of the sort, give it time.
Getting that meat texture done is going to be hard for a very long times. And you have put all the tasty fat back in it too that we’d prefer to get out of it.
