Eating the bugs? (m.youtube.com)

Honestly I haven't tried it but I wouldn't mind certain things containing bug parts (on purpose) to make up for protein in them. And honestly that crunch sounds quite good.

Thats super fair. The ethics of eating something like bugs is definetly a complex discussion & for some people eating any kind of animal is off the table.

& I 100% agree that moving to bug protein would do little to nothing to challenge mega corporations & the damage they cause to both people and the environment.

I dunno eating bugs isnt some magic fix, & there are arguably higher priority issues -- but I still think its neat that there are people out there exploring different ways of doing things & looking for even small steps towards a more sustainable future.

Yes! I am all about looking at things at different perspectives :). I'd say it's a very important tool to help each other learn and solve problems. And sometimes we need to hold each other's hands to make the bigger steps. I want a sustainable future yesterday loll. 😭
