It it what it is. I like the blend of description of the market in conjunction with Tainter's book. I will add to the land idea within the point you make. Plenty of land for all of us humans on this planet once hierarchal agriculture debases the soil enough to no longer be viable. Of course, most habituated to the scheme don't want to do it and they will eat bugs before actually tending a garden, and bugs are just like corn, next to no nutrition, so the suffering before death will continue.
Thanks for your comment. I agree that the issue of land health is hugely important, and I hadn't actually thought about the fact that factory-farmed insect protein is very unlikely to be nutrient-dense.
Lifted our potatoes a couple of days ago. Old, fertile soil that's been pasture for more than twenty years. Not sprayed with anything for at least 50 years, if ever. And the satisfaction of first planting the stuff, then a hard couple hours of work harvesting, and then cooking and eating it is hard to describe. And the taste is... Proper.
I have a long list of plants I grew again this year from a soil base that was totally wore out when I started, I brought the soil back using aerobic compost I made and other techniques. I don't grow many potatoes anymore, they are akin to the damage sugar does to the body, but hey, I started out similar growing more potatoes than anything!
Insects are highly nutritious and have been part of the human diet for most of our evolution. Eating insects is very common in diverse places around the world. I suggest you do some research on their nutritional value. You will be surprised. People dont have gardens! The global population just hit 8bn people and 80% live on a few dollars a day. It would be good for to lessen needless animal suffering in horrific industrial agri farms. I personally am not used to the idea, but still favor it, bc it makes sense and works.
Thank you for making the larger point of being a supporter of bug profiteering. I suggest you study fascism and how they are planning for most of us to eat their manufactured bugs to remain dependent on, and serving the hierarchy.
Then it would be appropriate study as to the parasites that inhabit most bug populations. Its takes a culture to build up the gut microbiome necessary to digest bugs, flipping the switch can not be done.
I think its a stupid idea when compared to the fact humans on smallholdings growing food biointensively can grow enough nutritious flavorful diverse food on less than 5% of the land the fascists' agribusiness model to feed 10 billion people. All easily calculable, but you don't want to know this.
The issue is you and all your compatriots don't want to get your finger nails dirty - so its off the the bug soup line for you types! hahahaha!
I'm not going to eat bugs from a factory, but I won't try to stop any of you dolts from doing so as anything that competes with the destructive agribusiness practices is fine with me..
