why can't our brilliant scientists figure out a way to make edible animals better for our health? like pump 'em full of vitamins and minerals and omega 3s and such.

Because that would upset the vegans as they could no longer claim their diet is healthier.

Cultivated Crickets taste exactly like shrimp but they are cheaper

and I thought I was being adventurous by eating seaweed and dried squid jerky :alien: I might be able to eat stuff with cricket in it as long as I didn't know about it. like hide it in a cracker or something.

I think in Thailand it's marketed as "flying prawns" often the bias is cultural as in the west bugs are "icky"

"flying prawns" :eew: I remember my mom telling me in pre-war japan, in town, she saw young kids gathered 'round store windows that had lights inside which attracted bugs to the windows, and the starving, ravenous kids snatched up the bugs and ate them.

Off topic (and inviting the wrath of B19) but what was your mother doing in pre-war Japan if you don't mind me asking?

AuntBlabby has Japanese in his family.

He’s actually a good-looking guy, and looks nothing like his avatar.

Crustaceans (lobsters, crabs, shrimp, krill, crayfish) are closely related to insects.

What is a lobster, but just a great big bug?

They sound as bad as the pro-life protesters that stand outside of abortion clinics and harass women and staff.

as close as I can come to eating that, is if they disassembled them and reassembled them in an unrecognizable form.

That's a thing that futurists talk about. When we start raising "micro livestock" for meat that the bugs will ground up into fish sticks, or put into sausages, or paddies, or like that, and that's how most folks will eat them. Works for me.
