Reply to comment by PyroSAJ in Do insects have "meat" like other animals? I know that grubs, mealworms, etc. are eaten in some parts of the world, but if, for instance, beetles were the size of cows, could you butcher one and make beetle steak? by 9RFCat9
Actually because of the fact that you have to eat the insect whole you have to feed them human safe food. On a whole they end up being no more efficient than chicken.
If fed on food waste however they end up being considerably more efficient than other protein sources but unfit for human consumption.
