Let me guess: they try to sell bugs for the nth time, a solution to a non-existing problem nobody asked for, but another lucrative step to huge food industry conglomerates selling crap as food.
Giant sea bugs transitioned from inedible garbage to inaccessible delicacy in less than a century.
I was recently comparing cricket flour to various plant derived high protein powders though, and I agree, I couldn’t see the point. They seemed almost identical. Maybe there’s there’s some difference in types of protein that’s not accounted for in the big numbers?
More important: insect&co to be sold as foods need to be ultra-processed, even if such process does not cost much, witch means: the target is making simple foods disappear. To have food some want to impose industrial-only show to cut out small actors.
Once we arrive at that point and nobody know anymore how to produce foods, like simple poultry farming, the perfect dictatorship is served: no one can even survive without a certain scale of industry only giants can own.
