Finally a country not afraid of eating critters! Or at least, not afraid of feeding them to their animals...

Seriously, I've eaten protein processed from insects plenty of time and it's in no way disgusting. People need to get over their ridiculous culinary phobias.

If we are to survive climate apocalypse and accelerating population growth, we're gonna need to learn to eat bugs instead of cows.

Do you think insect protein will replace animal protein? Like cricket flour vs steak.

It definitely can, however I'm not optimistic about people's willingness to adopt it. From my anecdotal experience, the people who are grossed out by the thought are really bothered by it. I see no way of converting those people to consumers/customers & thus leaving a large chunk of the market on the table.
