Would you guys ever supplement your protein in the form of eating insects? They seem to have a fuck ton.

Some bugs, depending on their size, have as much protein in them as a steak or a drum stick.

No. I could not psychologically bring myself to do it.

Perhaps if I was starving.

you can buy seasoned grasshoppers online in good flavors that mask the taste. I personally havent tried any bugs but the amount of protein in these tiny creatures is crazy

What is up with all the insect shilling on this board? Daily reminder that eating bugs is forbidden in Judaism.

>Analysis of almost a hundred edible insect species showed that the content of essential amino acids represents 46–96% of the total amount of amino acids.
Being Incomplete already makes it a shit source of protein

>not more protein than meat, fish or poultry
>worse protein quality
so what's the big deal?

>What is up with all the insect shilling on this board? Daily reminder that eating bugs is forbidden in Judaism.

Tha fuck? Jews eat bugs.
Leviticus 11:22 - Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper.

It's the Jews and the Muslims promoting that shit.

Is it weird that I already do this? Spiders and little flies around my house. I just developed a habit of picking them up and quickly eating them

That's fucking disgusting wtf

Not all protein is created equal. If it were I'd be downing shots of unflavored gelatin.

i've eaten fried crickets that someone i knew brought back from Mexico. it wasn't revolting but it's not something i'd eat regularly

what's with all the insect shilling lately?

Daily reminder that jews are not going to make shekels by pushing a cheaper lifestyle on you.
They want you to buy the steak and the protein powder.

>what's with all the insect shilling lately?
It's meat shilling, in the form of "look at these dumbass liberals eating bugs while I eat meat"

>Dubia roaches have the highest protein percentage
>provided by DubiaRoaches.com
That's not dubious at all.

>what's with all the insect shilling lately?
They'll convince you it's about saving the environment, but it's really about getting the cheapest business model imaginable for a product that is marked up hilariously, while the people that take your money go on and enjoy their steak.

>their end goal is money
user...

They don't care about you, dude. You're not special. Nobody's trying to nigger spam your hometown and turn out your daughter. They just want your money.

I would like to try some for the novelty of it but it's currently way more expensive than meat so I don't really see any reason to buy it.

>it's currently way more expensive than meat
Lol

user, they market these things at around 40 euros per kg. Now imagine how hilariously cheap it is to breed and blender bugs.

I checked it online and shit's more expensive than all other forms of protein.

Okay, I concede. That's fucking insane. Not that it's any different than restaurant prices for normal food though. Everything can be oversold to a sucker. Go buy it where the brown people buy it and it's cheap. Which is why I'm tired of hearing that jews are trying to turn your country brown.

No because eating enough protein is fucking easy, why would I eat bugs?
Let third worlders eat bugs, I’ll stick with meat and fish

Yeah bur you get the rarest aminoacids, like arginine and lysine. It's not all about muh glutamine

Just like any natural food product, there are several disadvantages of eating insects. Chitin and its derivative chitosan have anti-nutrient activities and can bind dietary lipids, fat-soluble vitamins and minerals (Koide, 1998; Ravi Kumar, 2000; Yhoung-aree, 2010). Chitosan is also linked to urinary tract stone diseases (Queiroz et al., 2014; Yhoung-aree, 2010). In addition, some insects may produce allergens and toxic bioactive compounds, host parasites and pathogenic bacteria, and be contaminated with pesticides and heavy metals from the environment (EFSA, 2015; Kouřimská and Adámková, 2016; Rumpold and Schlüter, 2013).

Due to their high level of toxicity, arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury are among the priority metals that are of great significance to public health. These metallic elements are considered systemic toxicants that can induce multiple organ damage even at lower levels of exposure, and are also human carcinogens (Tchounwou et al., 2012). Since the standards on heavy metals in insects used as human food are not yet available, the values were compared with the maximum allowable levels for feed material and complete feed set in the Official Journal of the European Union, Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1275/2013 for arsenic, cadmium and lead (European Union, 2013), and in the Directive 2002/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 May 2002 on undesirable substances in animal feed for mercury (The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, 2002). The EU maximum limits were based on 88% dry matter with the unit “mg/Kg dry weight” and therefore, had to be converted to mg/100g fresh weight basis. The heavy metal content of all the insect samples were well below the maximum values and are deemed safe for consumption as either feed material or complete feed (Table 8).

> You see, Moshe? I told you we can make them eat anything!

Same but with small animals

just the thought of eating insects, even without this study it should be common sense not to eat them

that's just a cultural factor

As long they don't regulate procedures for insect feeds etc. it's a rather bad idea to eat them plus you majority of people can't digest chitin lol
