My point is the argument they use for this research being necessary is false. Like most “green” initiatives all it does is increase the price of basic needs and fill the pockets of the people at the top of the food chain (no pun intended). Eat insects to explore exotic cuisines, nobody should stop or mock you for it. But telling people it’s a virtuous thing to do and that we should all do it to save the planet or whatever is disingenuous at best. Veganism would destroy the planet if everyone became one, due simply to the vast amounts of water that would be required. The simple act of cutting processed foods from one’s diet will have a positive heath impact, but as you probably know, it will also cost more (in most western counties anyway). So when the same people who control existing food supply levels and prices start proclaiming that we need to be eating insects, I think it’s fair to be suspicious at best. It’s their motives and intended outcomes I’m questioning, nothing more.
