alt Hacker NewsWhat I don’t understand is why not push bug based foods on people who already eat bugs?
Why push it on a population that hasn’t traditionally had overtly bug based diets?
Populations that are used to some bugs would definitely be more receptive to having a heavier bug based diet.
Lobster and crab are both just as much a bug as a tarantula is, so the same reason that the seafood industry pushed lobster and crab into mainstream acceptance: profit.
