it’s crazy how when I opened it up (mealworm frass bag ) there was a few still alive! I could of had a meal and saved some cash? Yuuumy they def looked like they were on their last limbs but I could of finished em off as a snack? On YouTube theres tons of tutorials and videos based on just eating em
have u tried one?
That's awesome you bring that up. They just allowed bugs as food in Switzerland. Mealworm burgers in the store shelves.
I'm getting close to making some myself. It's just a cultural thing. Many cultures eat bugs. We just haven't adopted it yet. Its coming...the USDA claims the body processes bug protein easier than animal protein.
Considering the rate the human population is increasing we will have to start eating bug protein. There isn't enough surface area on the planet to support the produce that's needed to feed the increasing population. And the animals needed for our protein.
Mealworms (Black Soldier fly larvae too) produce a high quality protein. They do that by eating the things we wont. Black soldier fly larvae are being used to turn chicken shit into protein as fish food...we will be eating those fish. However, I dont think thats a healthy cycle. Eating animal waste and using it as a compost is proving to be toxic. The animals use all the good stuff to grow and sustain biomass. The leftover waste doesn't make good compost or a good food source.
The sad truth about Bovine compost is for another thread. Sorry Malibu...no bueno.
We want compost made from plant and tree biomass. Fish compost is still better than bovine compost. Just my pocket change...to each their own.
