The rich will eat beef and pork, the working people will enjoy wormburgers 😄
You will eat anything and you will love it!
Actually rich people food is more odd than normal food. They eat stuff like snails and fish eggs
Entirely wrong, these insects cost twenty times more than a piece of beef, they don't fill you up and you will keep eating and eating because they are very tasty and soon you will be moving into a poor house.
Entirely accurate actually. The rich intend to have their own traditional farms with a side of abuse via wagu beef. Of course this will be expensive. They want you to starve to death. Wake up@@hieungo8345
Sam sounds like someone hates capitalism. Boy do i have the ideology for you
It has to be an immediate priority for cat and dog food
There are no studies on insect farts yet.
They have. They measured the total emissions they produce which includes worm farts lol
Chigger burger with bed bug sauce, washed down with refreshing dungbeetle smoothie
EAT THE RICH
An extra large cheese bugger please
Where are the actual scientific facts. Like the amount of protein per Serving
i wouldnt mind an Insect Burger!
might be a good & compact solution for long range space travel aswell!
Is the goal of humanity to overpopulate itself until we're all eating meal worms?
There is no goal! Just infinite consumption and expansion for no reason!
- 0:40 Claiming to "eat less meat" while pushing to eat bugs is as stupid as people saying fish isn't meat or Christians saying beavers are fish. 🙄 "Meat" is when you eat animals, period. From an ethics standpoint, several families eating beef from one cow for a week is less offensive than forcing 250,000 bugs to be born to killed and eaten for the same people. 🤦
- 1:53 "Replace a whole range of animal-based products" Wow, so you don't consider bugs to be animals? 🤨 Disgusting. 😠
- Maybe instead of killing more animals, just have fewer humans. 😒 The world is screwed.
so you`d rather save a mealworm than a cow during a fire? clown.
yeeeah better only eat mentaly challenged plants, like mmmmmoss 🤦♂
dont be racist!, just eat everything!
Except that mealworms don't really have brains to speak of, and they don't really suffer.
@@mho... the only mentally challenged one here is you.
It's just bs talk to help the wealthy rule over us. They are a deranged cult
We should start stop wasting food!!!!!
These insects can be fed food waste and turn it back into food. Alot of food waste is unnecessary but there will always be some
Let the elites in the World Economic Forum eat them bugs.
Ah yes the good old antisemetic dogwhistle
Let them eat bug cake . . . !
A much simpler approach would be fewer people, instead of building a bigger house of cards.
The first world countries that will get to enjoy the bugs are only over populated due to immigration.
Except it's not a simple solution at all. What are you gonna do? Nuke every major city?
Exactly. Sadly capitalism would never allow anything but profit to take precedent over everything else.
FYI, I'm anti government so don't go thinking I'm pro socialism or anything. I'm all for a return to anarchy. Bring back the nomadic barbarians who held city dwellers and empires in check until the iron age. The ideas of private land ownership and capitalism unchecked will be our downfall. Sadly natives and steppe people around the globe had it right 3-10,000 years ago. Nature itself and even violence is meant to keep populations in check. What we are doing is creating a fertile environment for an unsustainable population of urban consumerists. What we need is people to be their own producers not consumers. Bring back barter and trade. There are solutions to this, even solutions that would allow capitalism to still exist but on a smaller scale. There needs to be an equally viable barter trade network to hold capitalism in check. It's actually ironic that capitalism operates under the principle that healthy competition is needed yet capitalism itself has no competition. Unfortunately these ideas will never be implemented because we live in a corporate controlled world. The globalists corporatocracy has won for now, our only hope is after the next extinction event we build back smarter.
The human race is a pyramid scheme and we're only a layer or two away from the bottom where it collapses
Which people should go? Or which people should be constrained from reproducing in your opinion?
Citizens of USA and CANADA will not yet can afford to eat these. Insects cost twenty times more than a piece of beef and insects don't fill you up as regular animal meat. You will keep eating until you get in the poor house!!!
They're calling it a meat alternative, but insects are still living creatures, animals technically. It might be an alternative to animal agriculture, but people choosing not to eat meat because they don't want to eat animals will not be eating insects either!
These creatures are barely sentient, and as soon as they mature, they die in like 2 months.
At this scale it's like saying it's immoral to eat bread because of the yeast that die. They're not sentient and even the most hardcore vegan has to draw the line somewhere
I look forward to these emerging technologies. Food, protein, and nutritional security is a rapidly growing concern, and in light of climate effects on agriculture, the robustness brought about by food diversity will be key to future wellness.
Your a zombie.
Load of bs. Ethical farming by the people for the people is the answer, not corporate greed. Technology has no place in the domain of food, health or housing.
Why worry now when the global population growth is slowing down fast? In 50 years we will be confronted to a demographic meltdown, not to food crisis.
Food is the only thing that really matters for people, since you can survive on water alone lol
Why worry at all? The human race will kill itself through greed and laziness and then the remaining animals will re-establish a sustainable balance for a few thousand years until the humans come back and strip mine the earth again
NO, HELL NO!
Lets make farming great again instead.
Would you eat insects?
I will eat the bugs and I will like it
No
Depends on how they are presented. Covered in batter, yep.
already did... fryed grasshoppers, like small very crunchy chicken nuggets 😅
@@mho... Can they be purchased?
