Is this really the best way to farm proteins? Wouldn't it be more efficient to just grow soy?

I know what you're trying to do

Shut up soyboy, insects are unironically a great source of protein and take less effort to produce than soybean extracts

Are you even trying?

humans aren't mean to be vegetarians because we can't absorb vegetal protein as well as we can animal protein

don't even try to prove me wrong vegetarian brainlets

they ate soy to extinction decades before 2049. that's how the world got so bland and derivative.

>plant protein

lmao enjoy your 50% absorption rate

in the future there is no soy, and no soyboys either

They had to use all the soy to make the flick

Then just eat the double.

Those would be delicious with a rich, marinara sauce...

vegetal, what does the scanner say about his protein level?

>insects are unironically a great source of protein and take less effort to produce than soybean extracts

Yes, that's why half a continent started relying on tofu

Insect farms would produce so much more protein and take up less land space than traditional livestock farming. Would cost less to run too.

its efficient

more efficient than raising moo cows and uses less resources

Vegetables are always less resource intensive to farm than animals no matter what, even if it's just larvae.

>Insect farms would produce so much more protein and take up less land space than traditional livestock farming.

I dunno about that. Locusts would probably makeup the most protein, pound for pound, and be easiest to cultivate. But they would need a LOT of land and a LOT of crops for food.

Meanwhile the shabbos goy is eating their bugs the superior race will eat kosher cow.

If California is reduced to farm grubs just to survive I don't think that'd be much of an issue.

these aren't locusts
they are beetle larvae

They're fucking grubs you idiots

also known as beatle larva

Soy doesn't metabolize into all the necessary amino acids for human sustenance. You'd need a second crop to fill the gaps. Also the incomplete amino acids are metabolized as hormones, hence the "soyboy" that literally popped the fuck up from fucking nowhere in the last three months.

Grubs and maggots though, lots of complete protein and they're robust as fuck.

user, there's no more tomatoes.

You're forgetting vegetable waste can be used to feed said larvae.

>kosher cow.

Red meat ruined by adrenalized blood.

I wish it wasn't so unusual to eat bugs in the US. We are seriously missing out on eating an entirely different form of life for literally no reason other than it is icky. That is not the type of thinking that got Humanity to where it is now and that bothers me.


Just imagine all the different kinds of dishes chefs could cook up. It would be a culinary revolution.

You're talking about calorie efficiency. Its kinda irrelevant if you need complete proteins.

algae is the most efficient crop to grow. But people can't live off algae. Grubs can.

Thus, grub farms

I assume in the Blade Runner universe they have a way to process it into something more palatable, but would you guys eat grubs if it was literally the only source of animal proteins left?

What do insects taste like? I always figured they'd be similar to crab.

If ya wanna eat bugs go to india and shit in a street.

Besides, they just taste like chicken and there's no shortage of chicken.

Even apples have a complete protein. You have to go to meme foods like Gelatin to find something without a complete protein.

pretty sure they make nuggets and burguers out of it and they don't eat the grubs themselves
i'd eat it

I hear mealworms have a rich buttery taste.

kek

isn't gelatin made with pork fat?

Why mass produce an insect that will take up so much room? One football field sized, one storey cricket farm would produce an insane amount of crickets, would compete with an average cow farm for protein mass easily.

A: the protein in apples does not break down into the full gamut of amino acids, thus, it is reffered to as an incomplete protein.
B: even if it was complete, its .5 grams of protein per apple. Meaning to get the necessary, lets say 75 grams of protein per day, you'd need to eat 27 kilograms of apples per day, which would be 14,000 calories mostly empty calories.

The environment is so fucked up that crops won't grow. We never see a living plant the whole film (the closest thing is the flowers lying at the base of the dead tree. The bees in Las Vegas are being fed artificial nectar from feeders because there's no plants. And there's a reason why real wood is so ridiculously expensive: even trees are practically extinct.

a cricket farm would be more difficult to manage.

How so?

how does he not step on them because you cant see through the water because its green

Sapper Morton grew garlic. I'm pretty sure Wallace corp would've found a way to grow anything if needed.

The nutrition facts of apples are readily available, so go fuck yourself.

As someone who has ate raw grubs before its disgusting, slightly better cooked but goddamn it stinks, bitter, rancid goo in your mouth.

>you'd need to eat 27 kilograms of apples per day, which would be 14,000 calories mostly empty calories.
Well when you put it like that...

They jump all over the fucking place? Whereas grubs will just chill in their algae pools?

[Source: Broscience]

source: nutrition facts of apples + a fucking calculator

so, again, go fuck yourself.

>they jump all over the place
Well, I guess it's impossible. Crickets are uncontainable. Give it up guys.

If ya deep fry it, just like chicken.

Growing a herbs in a small quantity for personal use is not the same thing as growing crops on an commercial scale. The former can often be done in circumstances where the latter would be uneconomical (like rich people in England growing pineapples in greenhouses a couple of centuries ago).

Yes or I would fucking die. I don't love my chikie tendies that much.

>Make a statement like "protein in apples does not break down into the full gamut of amino acids"
>Asked for proof of this
>Responds with anger

Broscientists everyone.

not knowing about replicant vegetables
fucking soyboy

Ever heard of enclosures? Like cages? Then stick a bucket in and grab a bunch, put a lid on it. Ready to go. You'll lose a few but there will be literally millions left.

I'll never understand why people go out of their way to be retarded on Sup Forums.

Well the indians would shit everywhere and the kiwis would fight the australians.

this shit probably grows way faster and can be processed into giant blocks of tofu like shit

Yeah I agree. To think crickets hopping around means anything when your farming them by the hundreds of thousands.

proof is google you dumb nigger, and goddamn complete protein or not is even the salient point. 150 apples a day to get a meaningful amount of protein even if it was complete is the salient point.

>dude why isn't he farming a more difficult insect to gather and farm??

... why are you being retarded about this? I didn't say it was impossible, it is inarguably more work.

Well, the burden of proof does fall upon you to actually back up your claims.

Who wants to taste some yummy protein bar?

I see what you did there, and I'm an American who probably shouldn't have gotten that.

>proof is google you dumb nigger
Or, you know, a junior-high health textbook. But there's no arguing with these types, user. It's not worth getting bothered over.

Why hasn't anyone tried that yet? Putting a whole bunch of insects through the tubby custard machine and made it like a steak or something?

here some basic nutritional facts just for you obnoxious retard
umass.edu/nibble/infofile/incprot.html

Mmm, tasty

we both know you're just doing the "ALL PROTEIN AM COMPLETE" bullshit, when we both know that means shit from a nutritional standpoint when protein that doesn't metabolize into all the necessary amino acids is helpful. Which I already addressed.

I don't know why you'd think the .5g of protein per apple is as complete as .5g of meat protein, as literally nothing anywhere says anything remotely near that, and apples aren't even listed as a viable dietary staple anywhere.

Thus, go fuck yourself.

it's salt

>I'm an American
>junior-high health textbook
>trusting any american regarding health and diet

If there was money to be made, someone could come up with a very efficient means of farming them. Even more efficient than

yew tell em, damn faggots tryin ta learn ya stuff

Insects are great source of protien and iron. Full of it relative to their size. I dont know why maggots were being grown in swamp water though

Listen to all you fucking cucks. I would rather eat a bullet than a bug

I'm not even the guy begging for proof. Learn to argue. If you make claims, you need to back them up.

Big Cattle/Chicken industries fear the day of the cricket/grub

>hey lets spend time and money to come up with an efficient way to harvest a less efficient insect

... ?

>If you make claims, you need to back them up.
care to back that claim up?

Jesus, do you not have an entrepreneurial bone in your body?

Or…

garlic

Maybe you should walk away from your computer before you shit yourself you autistic sperg.

He just talked about the macros of apples you pedantic faggot.

>lol ain't me lmao

This isn't an argument. It is incontrovertible fact that apples do not contain complete protein. Unless you want to be that guy who tries to say all protein am complete.

they're basically feeding them algae soup

When you're on a website that requires users to be 18+, you shouldn't have to scientific cite facts that should be common knowledge to anyone with an 8th grade education.

What next? Do we have to cite proof that the Earth is round, or that falling objects in a vacuum accelerate at the same rate regardless of mass?

I think the government made the soy on purpose to get rid of the population growth. Don't believe me? It's all in the selfie.

This website looks like a 10 year old made it on geocities and filled it with broscience. The site itself doesn't even list a single study or figure. It just presents assertions as is. Do you even know how to evaluate a source?

What would be the point? Grubs are easier to farm by default because they require no special equipment or enclosures, just pools of algae and sifters.

So does that food go to colonists, replicant slaves, or just everyone?

Youd think theyd drown. Those aint aquatic beetle larvae

You'd think it would catch on in parts of the world where they have fucking nothing to eat and everybody is poor, like detroit.

Two sources for you, smug fuck. I'm sure someone be pedantic since I source US laws but I don't give a fuck

Yeah, and this is Sup Forums. If you don't get angry over a discussion of apples you shouldn't be here.

I'm not even trying to be that guy.

>What next? Do we have to cite proof that the Earth is round, or that falling objects in a vacuum accelerate at the same rate regardless of mass?
Yes and that is your homework for tonight.

Everyone not rich enough to afford an alternative, it would seem.

>Being old means everything you say is automatically true, no matter how misinformed you may be

... you don't need a fucking study to determine the amino acid content of apple protein, its an incontrovertible chemical fact.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

...

Variety is the spice of life. Do you just want to eat chicken for protein your entire life?

>he needs proof on the nutritional facts of apples
