Isn’t one of the benefits to insects that it DOES work better at scale than plants? Why do you think they won’t?

I think about it from a consumer point. It will be very difficult to convince people from Western nations to eat insect based proteins

To be fair, there's far fewer people from "Western" nations than not.

EU + US populations don't add up to a billion.

Don’t think anyone can make a statement like that, it’s entirely subjective to try to guess what social norms will be in the future. Not to mention that refusing to advance science because you’re worried that people will think it’s icky is stupid.
