If you eat insects you have 30% of chance eating one that has a human parasite in it. Studies showed that all insect farms have some sort of parasites there and around 30% have parasytes that can live in humans.
TL;DR: out of 300 insect sources, 80% had parasites. 70% had parasites transmittable to insects only, 35% had parasites transmittable to animals and 30% had parasites transmittable to humans.
"Examination suggests that edible insects may be the most important parasite vector for domestic insectivorous animals."
I don't want to, and I don't want the government to push it as an alternative to meat knowing full well every member of congress and CEO will continue eating steak as usual while laughing at all the poors they swindled into eating crickets.
Except for the higher disease chance. And when people stop cooking their food so regularly because energy costs so much, what then? I don't think smoked locust will solve the problem
Energy costs are only skyrocketing because countries relied so heavily on oil from Russia. If people would stop being so hesitant to build more nuclear plants we wouldn’t have a problem with energy.
