Why do people eat bugs?

>>9335140
Brown people eat bugs and it's because they're stupid and lazy.

>>9335140
Muh protein

>>9335144
Upboated

>>9335140
Why wouldn't people eat bugs? They're crunchy and full of nutrients, as well as being plentiful and easily harvested.

Today, an anon asked

on the food and cooking board.

Sustenance

We can't all be sexy white cowboys.

>>9335214
Argentina may have the best cowboys, but pls fuck off.

>>9335144
Man, people eat bugs because it's sustainable and cheap and easy hunting. High protein. It's smart to eat bugs, just not that enjoyable.

>>9335144
This good post. Am white and agree.
Tribalism.

liberalism is a mental disorder

One day man will live off bugs as a sustainable source off protein. Earth is dying another life & we need her tit.

WE WILL BE DEAD

Kill yourself third worlder

>>9335366

actually, it's called, 'make entire populations dissapear'.

do you really think that it's difficult to exterminate a billion people? there's no reason why we can't get down to 500,000,000 humans, and then all eat organic free range steak daily

so grow a fucking sack, stop acting like you give a fuck and help contribute to the greatest genocide the world has ever seen, so that we, us, and our families and descendent's, can live in largely automated utopia.

yeah, i'm EASILY within the top 20th percentile.

but i love how this is always the argument in retort. i'd rather be fucking dead than live in a world full of people that don't look like me while i eat bugs anyways.

poor people

>mfw chatting up a bargirl in thailand and I look down to realize she's eating a bowl full of bugs like it's fucking cereal

>>9335140

Poverty.

>>9335140
they're tasty

>>9335140
Well many are very nutritious for their size and don't taste too bad if you prepare them correctly.
They generally developed as a poverty food obviously, especially in various cases where the bugs are a pest that attacks crops. You're trying to remove the pests anyway and if they've already gotten big healthy on your crops you might as well get something back, same for various larger pests too. There are also some cases like with silk worms where they're piling up just as a side-product of the silk processing so might as well not let it go to waste.
Larger arthropods like spiders and scorpions are practically just land-crustaceans.

It is pretty weird, the monkey is way too similar to a human.

>>9336458
Well it is a thing that the closer something is to you the better the chance some nasty illness they have could cross over.

>>9335296
calm down folk, we've been eating bugs for several centuries in my country and let me tell you that they are delicious

>>9336499
ignore /pol/posters
there's no point in trying to talk to a meme machine.

They are tasty and nutritious.
Coddled suburban children cannot handle anything that is different from "Food, Overcooked, mild"

>>9336548
Yeah, you either eat well-done steaks with ketchup or you eat crickets & grub worms. Definitely no in-between

so it's just for attention then. noted.

>>9335306
insects aren't sustainable, you can't grow large amount of them without having unsolvable sanitary problems. It's easy to shoot some cows and pigs with medicines, but it's already a problem with poultry. For insects it's impossible. every time your farm is contaminated, you are up for a costly complete clean up.

>>9335527
It's pretty dangerous to eat that shit.

>>9335144
Insect-based protein is extremely efficient, both in terms of caloric ratio and in the amount of energy and resources required for cultivation (at least, compared to that of other animals). There's already a large transition to cricket-protein taking place in Western societies, with just about every food company angling into the insect pie; it's literally the future, with Western nations poised to gain a critical advantage over developing nations with new innovations in insect cultivation.

There's no actual reason to reject it besides your pickiness and autism. It's healthier, it's more efficient, and many recipes and cooking techniques have shown it to be just as tasty as regular meat, too.

Jesus how wrong can somebody be.

I don't know about other 3rd world countries, but here in the US we eat @ 1-2lbs/year/person because the FDA has guidelines that specify how many insects or insect parts are allowed in food. Turns out their limits are arbitrarily based on some amorphous idea of what might "gross people out" instead of any health factors.

You're stupid and obviously you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

>>9336955
you can grow literally millions of crickets on some basic grains in a completely contained environment at a fraction of the acreage, cost and environmental destruction of a single cow

>>9336434
>don't shitpost
clearly that rule is ironic in nature and not enforced

>>9335140
Because all bugs need to die.

OP, can I make it taste good? Can I mask the texture of exoskeletons or use it to my advantage? What kind of prep work am I looking at? What are the overall macro/micros per 100 grams against say, beef?
