By 2030, there will be a severe shortage of available protein from traditional sources due to population increase. One avenue for us to take is to begin eating bugs.

Would you consume a shake full of ants or spiders to increase your gains? Would you eat a Maggot Burger at Nandos to get big?

Why not, can't be that bad

It's not like whey is delicious
>>
>>35527903
Sure. Fried grasshoper is allright..
>>
>>35527903
I've already eaten ants. Wasn't even a dare. I just felt like eating ants. Doesn't taste like anything. Like sand, kinda. On another note, I've also eaten sand.
>>
>>35527903
i would but i dont know where to buy the things, there is a farmers market near by but that seems a little dicey.
>>
If there isn't a significant difference in taste, why the fuck not? I remember eating bugs in my middle school science class that they teacher brought in and they were delicious and crunchy. Would consume again given the opportunity.
>>
>>35527958

Look at the amazon rainforest, its being cleared to plant soy to feed beef cows. This will only increase with shit countries like China steadily improving and developing a middle class.

There will be a point when people will no longer tolerate it.

I've eaten grasshoppers and they just taste like dried beef.
>>
what concerns me more is that with the increasing population of 5%ers the deposits of whey protein will be depleted very soon
right now we're able to kill shit but one day we may wake up and realize there's nothing left to scoop
>>
I'll eat everything except spiders and peas.
>>
>>35527903

Bugs dont really have any real taste. I ate fried grasshoppers in Thailand, and they are just really crispy and explode with oil.
>>
I don't mind eating arthropods, but at least with shrimp we remove the shitsack.
>>
>>35527903
Yes. Tbh I would be eating crickets and grasshoppers now if they weren't so expensive. It not like they taste any worse than my unflavoured proton powder
>>
>>35527903
Last year my parents had unusually many grasshoppers in their garden. I catched a bunch and cooked and fried them. They were actually pretty tasty, even though my parents were absolutely disgusted by it.
>>
>>35528081
How did you cook them?
>>
Better stock up on protein now. If I put aside $1000, I can probably buy enough to last me a decade.
>>
If they weren't so expensive due to small supply, I'd be doing it right now.
>>
>>35528099
I put them in a pot, filled it with water and cooked them until they were dead (inb4 animal cruelty), then I washed them and cut off their legs and wings (apparently you can't eat those). Then I fried them in a pan and ate them with a bit of salt and paprika powder (kind of like chips, really).

It wasn't perfect and I didn't experiment a lot with it, as it was a pain in the ass to catch the nine grasshoppers I ultimately cooked.

Spiders are actually pretty tasty

I would eat them now if they made them cheap some actually taste really good

It's okay.

There is zero risk associated with eating properly cleaned shellfish, as long as you don't have a pre-existing allergy.

You do that, I'll be shooting deer, elkk and moose.

I'm usually not this guy, but this is Jewish propoganda.
>>
>>35527903
Firms would start extracting the protein from the bugs and sell it as protein powder. So for the end users nothing changes besides the source of the protein.
>>
>>35528469
This desu the jew does not want the goy to be strong
>>
>>35528242
Shrimps are like the best natural protein source, by the way. The only problems are mercury and cholesterol.

sadly no

Or. or. OR
Hear me out here, guys
What if

WHAT IF

We just ate beans, nuts, and other plants that are high in protein.

Also I suspect cows aren't going extinct so we'll probably be able to drink milk even with a shortage of actual flesh.

>>35528626
>vegan detected

Go suck a goat dick faget
>>
>>35528643
Not a vegan retard, I just advocated drinking milk because that's where my delicious protein comes from. I just figured you might want to... you know, eat beans instead of fucking insects
>>
>>35528694
I want to eat both brah i think insects are delicious and so is milk and other stuff i enjoy food and more variety the better
