Nutritious, Cheap, and Plentiful –Why not eat insects? - Mind the Science Gap

Because it’s gross stupid science bitches, not everyone got force fed worms in public school.

Protein is protein.

Make it a burrito, it will go down just fine.

You’re gonna be eating insects friend, guaranteed.

I’ll be eating a 45 before I’ll be eating a bug.

 

[BrownArmy]

The only insects I really can’t deal with are ‘house centipedes’.

I get it, they’re not centipedes, and they kill all the insects you don’t want in your house.

There’s just something about them that triggers my reptilian hind-brain, especially when I’m not awake and one is in the tub...

Relax, like I said, it will be a taco.

You like tacos, right?

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

Kind of a toss up between that and lab grown genetically modified fake meat.

I’ll take the lab grown 68 oz porterhouse medium rare pls.

Well yeah that thing looks like it’s gonna latch onto your face and plant eggs.

What if it’s lab-grown real meat?

Strange, but we have to eat something on the long voyage to our new home in Alpha Centauri .

Ya, I mean, I would still call it fake, because they're gonna have to modify that stuff genetically to get it to grow in a lab.

Seriously sounds like the start of a zombie movie.

I’ll take roaming cannibals and apocalypse over bug eating.

It will be the same mechanism used to regrow human limbs or organs.

Start with a stem-cell, end up with a new lung, or an ear.

Or a porterhouse steak.

Skip most of it, just grow what you need...technically it’s still steak.

"Technically still steak".
You should trademark that, sounds super appetizing.

If you lost your arm in a freak accident twenty years from now, and it could be regrown, right on your body, would you quibble about ‘technicalities’?

I mean, ‘technically’ it’s not your original arm, but you get a new arm.

If what I’m eating actually is steak, but there was never an animal involved, it’s still steak.

You’re right though, the word ‘technically’ shouldn’t be in the marketing.

I'm not eating my arm.

I'm sure lab meat will make it's way into garbage food like chain 'restaurants' and microwaved crap.

I think the idea that people are going to buy fake steak at the grocery store to grill up on game day is a little delusional though.

But I only eat red meat maybe once a month or so.... I sure as hell want the real thing when I indulge.

It’s all about water.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

It’s all about water.

So instead of investing in desalination, we invest in zombie meat.

Mkay.

Desalination is beside the point, and it’s not zombie meat.

If we skipped the 1800 gallons of water needed to produce one pound of real beef, we’d be in a much better place regarding our water consumption.

Beef is beef.

We’re not there yet, but we will be.

Reminds me of Blade Runner, with the guy in the cold room before Roy Batty kills him...

“I just do eyes”...

The future will be as boring as the present, except we’ll be eating insect tacos and lab-meat.

I mean, could lab-meat be any more horrific and inefficient than ‘real’ meat?
