    Chocolate covers ants are not to bad but the heads get caught between your teeth. Grasshoppers & Locust are sort of crunchy. Snails are like eating oysters to me so never got a taste for them. Grubs couldn't do though I know they are a staple food some aboriginal peoples. None are high on my diet list for certain and would take a bit of getting used to other than as a so called exotic meal. But they are known meal things and I suppose substitutes for "meat" if you hold to a strict sense of meat being animals.

        The FDA etc has allowances for how much insect can turn up per food product. It's actually allowed. Like one bug part per block of chocolate or something

          Omg I love you!! ME TOO!! I dream of the day we all stop being pussies and start eating grubs. They are such a good source of protein and can be produced pound for pound at a fraction of the cost, time and space as livestock and with far less pollution too. It could easily be processed to make breaded nuggets, slices for sandwiches or even formed into rashers. What's the difference between eating a maggot and eating a prawn, that looks just like a pink maggot when shelled and ready to eat?

          And for those who justify their meat eating with 'but we evolved to eat meat', we were eating insects (and shellfish) way before that, so go on, treat yourself, much on a locust!!

              An aside though but one of the big ones I was recently reading about is plastic rice. Some major shipments of the stuff have ended up in third world areas and some other areas as refugee & emergency food if I recall correctly. Don't recall where it came from as I believe it was shipped in bagged as regular rice. So parts of the pallet were real rice and parts were plastic rice. No one knows for sure how long its been going on as it was sort of a fluke that it was discovered.

              I could get behind eating processed insect proteins. Not sure I could do the wiggly wormy looking things though. In a pinch it'd be ok and have done so but to simply pick up like a chip couldn't do that. Had a hard enough time doing the fish thing when it's laying there looking back at me.

                    Same. You can get quorn rashers so I don't see why you couldn't make them from ground grub protein too.

                    That's why I said 'we'. I'm including myself as one of the pussies. Although if they did make things out of ground up grubs so it didn't look like grubs, I think I probably could eat it.

                      I had read somewhere that insect protein is much cheaper by the pound or European weight and much more nutritious,that and land use for raising meat animals is VERY expensive by acre used.

                          It's as valid as any aspect of this conversation. How inhumane is it to inflict pain and suffering on those dogs versus inflicting pain and suffering on the people who will eat that rice but never be nourished by it. Not only never be nourished but in the long run potentially be killed by it and suffer health issues due to the plastic nature of it and what it will do to their digestive tracks and other body parts. We have sea creatures washing ashore with stomachs full of plastic that have starved to death basically. Think that is any less humane and painful to those creatures than what is done to those dogs?

                            It's not the first time I've mentioned my support for a move to bugs as our staple protein here. It's something I've felt strongly about for a few years now. Heck, it even made me post in a thread I'd been sneering at from a far until now!

                                Do you eat bacon in rashers in your part of the world though? I know when I was in Germany it wasn't easy to find bacon cut into thin strips like that (although come to think of it, I know in the US you can have slices of bacon in a burger, but maybe it's different in different states?). Not that I was looking for bacon in Germany. I just remember hearing some poor British expat moaning that he can't make a proper full English breakfast!
