However I think the idea is amazing. It's early days for this stuff I'm sure but it has potential. There needs to be tests for absorption of protein etc
Im not quite sure what to say to this.
How about: Oh, hells no. I get it: it's an experimental product that may or may not be actually healthier and more nutrient-packed than conventional foods. It might even help alleviate some of my health issues. I can't look past the whole "insect" thing. Maybe a few generations down the line, say, my grandkids kids (theoretical grandkids) may think nothing of it. But there's too much cultural inculcation for me to ev…

"Taste first", they said. Protein, no matter what the source, unfortunately doesn't taste great, so I guess their workaround is to not use much protein...

Even meat protein kinda sucks if you cook all the fat out of it.
Awesome. People (and animals) have been eating insects in healthy doses for far longer than soy or whey, so I'm more comfortable eating this than the standard protein sources. I hope this takes off.
20g fat (5g saturated), 27g carbs (14g sugar), 10g protein. Not that great for a "protein" bar.
I looked into this more and seems like that seems to be pretty common: http://protein-bars.findthebest.com/ Color me surprised. I'll stick with my whey powder which is 24g protein, 3g carb 1g Fat ( http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/100-Whey-Gold-Stand... )

(Substantially fewer overall calories for almost as much protein, is the punchline)
Whey is cheap and plentiful. If you don't like the idea of cows, soy and pea protein is cheap and plentiful.
