Why are people so against eating cockroaches and other insects? Cockroaches could easily substitute meat for poor people.

Because it's fucking disgusting

because they are fucking gross you twit

Is that what you guys eat?

poor people could be an easy substitute meat for poor people.

It is perceived as eating vermin who feast on shit. Incidentally, these same people enjoy a good catfish fry as well.

>Have you ever been so hungary you ate a Turk?

maybe if I was hungary enough

I don't mind insects unless they enter my house.
No matter if they are flies, mosquitoes or Turks.

Y tho?

>prawns

Imagine if that fucker wasnt dead yet and pinched/bit the shit out of her.

For non-burgers that is a toe biter/water moccasin and when they bite it hurts like fuck for a few days. Super toxic and nasty. That isnt a roach.

>eating any kind of meat

>implying the way chickens are processed is any better
>implying poor people could afford to be picky

Dat yeller tooth

Cannibalism is immoral

No on the cockroaches, but crickets are easy to farm and a good source of protein.

I like having them stir-fried.

because people don't really care about spending less money on food at this point
they care about how easy to get the food is, thus the boom of fast foods
roaches may be cheap, but they don't taste great and have a big stigma to them (see this thread)

Eating roaches is how birds get some of their worst parasites.

Because we're not subhumans
Third worlders can eat roaches if they want

>hungary
legit thought it would be some fucking african/south american monkey

That's already branded as soylent green

Bugs are actually very healthy, there was an article awhile ago about how cockroach milk is probably the best thing to stave off starving to death and is possible to mass produce the proteins

The west is weird, we have no problem eating aborted chickens but bugs are to far!

...

What kind of fag wouldn't eat this roach?

>all this >muh disgusting replies
You probably wouldn't even notice it, if chicken was replaced with it.

but the salt kills the yucky factor in shrimp

Who else /fuckinghateroaches/ here? If I had my way we would purge the earth of them.

I'm not against it.

Poor people can eat dogshit for all I care.

Part of it is that it's been historically unsanitary. We could probably make it safe to do regularly but we are naturally repulsed by the thought. Besides that, we don't do it for the same reason we don't eat other creatures whole. There are a bunch of substances inside that shouldn't be consumed. You're getting bile and all sorts of nasty stuff when you eat the whole thing. Very little of insects is actual meat

Because insects are instinctively linked to emotions like fear and disgust.

I eat them. Fucking delicious mealworms and grasshoppers are the best. They taste like hazelnuts.
But I also eat meat from other animals.
Who dispises a meal nature gives you is a stupid fag.

I work in pest control. Kill the fuckers.

I'm not against other people eatting roaches, go ahead if you like that shit.

But I personally think it's fucking disgusting and I would never want to eat that shit.

Wouldn't do it. Nematodes. Those shits are crazy fucking scary and disgusting.

That's a waterbug you dumb gypsy

GET THIS SHIT OUT

/fit/ here

Insects are incredibly expensive compared to traditional sources of protein. It's by no mean a poor man's alternative

I'm not against it, you can eat them all

I'll pass though

Yo kang, I gots me a new recipe

who she?

>bozgor making thread about eating bugs
has it gotten that bad my mongol brother?

>literally first pic on google

It is, because it is not industrialized. But you can probably keep your own farm at home.

>who she?
Google image search, homeboy. Dis be Anzu, da famous youtuber n shit

don't know

>cannibalism
No, I am not some Christian barbarian

>Cockroaches could easily substitute meat for poor people.
I don't think it's ethical to feed Turks their own people. It's just not right.

Stop eating bugs

>she

good post leaf

Insects are more expensive to farm then chicken.
And chicken are roughly equally efficient in converting feed to meat.

Kek poor people can eat all the bugs they want. I'll stick with a steak

because it's cruel and unhealthy.

Literally only subhumans eat bugs

poor people should be removed from the society in order to work hard in suitable camps™

Only because chicken meat is produced in factories.

That filename, kek.

I don't eat shit, because I can afford meat.

So you suggest catching wild insects?

I don't think that would last long.
And it will come with serious health risks since wild insects might eat all sort of chemicals including insecticides.

>It is, because it is not industrialized

Even if it's industrialized, they'll never come close in pricing.

Look at picrelated. Almost 200$ for 2.27kg of insect protein. The dairy equivalent (whey) sells for 30-40$

that's not bullying, that's good ol' domination

she can stop it any time, by saying the safewords "euphrates shield"

Forgot pic

>I have never tried the wonders of oven-baked, seasoned crickets

Kek

flavored crickets are good but that is because of the flavoring.

meat is more filling.

Cheng, you have to go back

Whey is a waste product.
That's why it's super cheap.

Because there's no competition to lower prices down. Not many places sell insect powders.

pound for pound fly meat has more protein than steak

really make you think

That's because it's still niche. It's so much cheaper to feed a herd of locusts than tiny cows.

>tfw nobody wants to trade their lunch for your roachburger at meal time

>Tfw mom packed me a roachburger

It's the fat that makes steak delicious.

Lean beef is pretty much all protein, but tastes nowhere as good.

>might eat all sort of chemicals
Like di hydrogen monoxide and such?

Because it is a specialized item.

gross .. i would eat grasshoppers god reccomends them so they probably are tasty .

Ok... well I can buy 2.27kg of fish or chicken breasts for 20$ or so.

2.27kg or raw crickets is 200$
And I'm only listing crickets as some of the other bugs are even more expensive

It's not aborted chickens it's more like the hens period.

>still replies with the same thing
