Do cicadas have Tropomyosin? I am allergic to shellfish and if they have this protein then I cannot eat them do to allergy. Finding this info on the web has been extremely difficult.
That's a thing too! This vid was about insects for animal feed but edible insects are a reality too. There're many companies working on product development. Cricket and mealworm pasta, hamburgers, crackers, protein powder for milkshakes and bakery... and an interesting one is ice cream made of Black Soldier Larvae "millk"~ uwu
@@kadenbane yea and talk about sustainability you don't have to cut down forests or use intensive pesticides or fertilizers and you help up cycle food waste.
Many livestock are improved animals. What's the improvement? Selecting better individuals in terms of breeding, food conversion efficiency, adaptability, etc. Nothing to worry about, really...
@@hotarukaleidos They have a slight argument but probably not one they're making Fish farms traditionally required "fish meal" (ie: salmon would eat ground up sardines/anchovies). Insect meal like this has taken off, which is great for those fish farms and to ensure sustainability, including allowing anchovies and sardines to repopulate. Fish farming however is a double edged sword. On the one hand, we get plenty of cheap accessible protein whilst keeping fish populations reasonably sustainable but on the other hand, the very act of fish farming leads to lower quality fish in the first place, and therefore worse nutritionally I honestly wish that lab produced fish could be realised. Then we could have "wild" fish produced in a lab, and it'd mean that all over the world, we'd no longer have to actually fish.
@@waqasahmed939 yeah the nutrition in wild fish comes from the stress of having to live an actual life. It's difficult to mimic in a farm where you're just giving them food. But we can supplement and we ourselves can live more "stressful" lives (weight training, cardio training, fasting) so the most important thing is getting sustainable food sources first I think
The biggest issue in genetic engineering is actually not us consuming the plant or animal that was engineered, it's if that engineered plant or animal "escapes" what it does to wild ecosystems. It can basically be like releasing the terminator out there. So that's where people have to be very careful
Eh. In this case it's more an alternative feed for cattle, then for human consumption. I'd rather not eat insects, but meat from a cow that did doesn't strike me as too bad. I mean they're already being fed the growth-food, so the insects might be better, who knows.
@@adh615 Insects nutritional values are greatly inflated and exaggerated, just compare the size and height of people living in cultures who predominantly eats fish and meat, those who eats insects, and those who eats mostly carbs
@@hulahula6182 Huh, didn't know that. But again I was not making a point for human consumption but rather that of livestock. As I said not to keen on eating bugs. Just out of curiosity, regardless of the nutrional value for animals, would you eat meat from animals that consumed insects, or does it gross you out?

not extremely difficult, it is known they have simolar allergens as seafood so be careful
Why not just eat the insects yourself?

@@hotarukaleidos I've tried edible insects before. It's really not bad as long as it was prepared properly.
@@kadenbane yea and talk about sustainability you don't have to cut down forests or use intensive pesticides or fertilizers and you help up cycle food waste.
This isn't recent. It's a decade or so old, however I believe it took them a fair while to get insectmeal approved, for the consumption of fish
The trouble lies in them "improving" the insects.

It's the same as breeding dogs, you're paranoid for no reason.

That's the future to feed animals.
You misspelled people.

@@adh615 it probably will change the taste, but no. whats your point?
@@hulahula6182
I wasn't really trying to make one, I was just curious what you'd think about merely feeding insects to livestock rather than people.
This isn't a good sign.
COOL !!!!!
AMAZING ++++++++++++
Even chickens are letting their hair down this year

Hhhhhhh
Hell no.
