#2I somehow don't think this is what they mean with "eating insects is the future" with the $700 worm hive and $300 ant booze.
Re: Ways to start eating insects
#3So why should we eat insects? The standard answer is: it is a cheap and sustainable source of protein. But I have yet to see a convincing argument that it is cheaper and more sustainable than soy protein, aka tofu.

I asked myself the same question. Why do we need to replace meat by something? Are vegans really lacking protein? Moreover, even if it's true, if we just take into account an important diminution of the meat consumption, will people lack proteins? I'm assuming we eat more meat than we ever did in our history.

The comment you replied to talked about cheap and sustainable sources of protein. Meat is neither.

Tofu and soy can cause hypothyroidism,
no longer recommended to eat more than 100-200g/week

Some soy is fine, but if we're talking as completely replacing your meat, it could be too much estrogen like compounds. Hence breasts in men and an increased risk of breast cancer in women. I haven't seen enough studies to definitively rule these out.
Besides, variety is always good. It's never wise to put all your eggs in a single basket.

Plenty of people don't like tofu - I hate it, personally - yet love meat.
Admitedly, I didn't exactly enjoy the few insects I've tried eating, either.. but what's wrong with having more options for cheap and sustainable protein?
