  This is a facebook bs repost. There are no articles from ‘authorities’ encouraging anyone to eat the moths.

  I know this is privileged but if it comes down to needing to eat insects, just put me down.

    I went from being a typical omnivore to vegan within the span of a week and it was the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life. So when I see people resorting to eating insects it’s really bewildering to me. Like, you’d rather eat bugs than just eat plants?

  I’ve eaten thai-style fried crickets, they really weren’t that bad. I think you just have to turst that they indeed are edible, so its easier to think of them as food rather than bugs

    “really weren’t that bad” is not the recommendation you think it is.

      Yea i get it. But like i’d rather eat them bugs than olives, for example, thats just how I feel

    NOT HELPING

    Bro I can barely eat crayfish. They look too much like insects.

  The big problem with eating fried insects is that you need to rinse your mouth with something or the bits stay around. Flour made from insects may be better, but it is 5-10 as much cost, and since it is mostly proteins you would need special recipes for it, I guess.
  Most insects probably have similar mouth feel issues.

    Is it not customary to have a drink with your meals?

    The words “insects” and “mouthfeel” do not belong in the same sentence.

  Has anyone ever said “Hey babe let’s go to the Austeat restaurant tonight”

  I don’t think Australians even say that.

    I’m guessing Outback Steakhouse doesn’t really count lol

    • BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      They opened during that dumb Australia fad after Crocodile Dundee was such a big hit, then they were stuck with that lame theme when the fad died.

      It actually does until Australia produces a cuisine good enough.

  How is 40 billion moths, considered “scarcity”?

  It’s a different sort of moth to one you might enjoy on a sandwich.

    plague

    That sounds like a self-sustaining population that might actually endanger other species

    • janewaydidnothingwrong@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogong_moth They are listed as “endangered” on the IUCN red list 🤷‍♂️
