Mealworms would like a word.

Mealworms are very highly chitinous and a low quality food source when compared to options like crickets or roaches.

Source: I keep insectivorous pets.

Do your pets and humans have the same food needs? I had meal worm (fried), and I remember it having an excellent protein/fat ratio.

What do they say? That they want to be classified as insects?
