I’m being honest, it’s looking more and more like a “within our lifetime” by the hour

        Eat it all you want, if you want. But any talk of bugs when west wastes 40% of the food (and non west are also guilty of that to the lesser extent) is simply bourgeoisie talk.

        I seriously hope i die before it comes to that, because it will mean the world is truly and ultimately fucked up. Even in the worst times of hunger people here did not eat bugs and i fully share that sentiment.

          I can understand your point, thanks for elaborating. It´s true what you say, lots of food goes to waste.

          I think I just saw it like an option. Since I live in a Western country where I never had to go hungry before, eating bugs as an alternative to meat was what I had in mind. Having a low-impact source of nutrition instead of meat is great.

          But when looking at the massive amount of waste that gets produced, eating bugs should indeed have a really low priority. There are a lot of things that should be fixed before bugs should be an option. Food security is the number one priority.

            Exactly. How i see that, the food supply would have to really dwindle for that, which means capitalism in the terminal stage (of Earth).
