It’s not really stupid though? We could solve a shit ton of the planets problems and go a long way to eliminating starvation if we’d all switch to eating bugs.

since when does water kill cockroaches? Especially that fast

Man when I see just ONE of those I’m screaming as hell… and this man just took like 50 of them easily…
ABSOLUTELY NOT!

the first segment looks like a cockroach farm so these are just like any other farmed arthropod for the purposes of cooking. why not?

There’s something unsettling about taking a living creature and turning it into a powder that you dissolve in water

I mean.. its a pretty solid and sustainable source of protein🪳🪳🪳

I get why people would eat bugs. I don’t get why he is eating them, though.

Aren’t insects a good source of protein/nutrients in a lot of countries? Like you’ll see spiders or scorpions roasted on a stick in the markets. I’m sure lots of people eat cockroaches. I’m not sure this is stupid food, even though it seems strange or weird to some western cultures

Dude is wearing Fred Perry, seems like cockroach business is doing well

Imagine if some maniac took some mummies, ground them into a fine powder and made a tea. This is basically the same thing.

If I eat bugs at all, it’ll have to be powdered. Probably crickets, though. Still, it’s probably safe to eat.

I’m not at all… at fuc…all doing this or condoning this, but it’s probably high af with protein. That’s just how bugs work.

Very important to sieve the powder. You don’t want bugs in it.

Seems crazy but, modern science is also researching the physiological effects of these:
Modern Scientific Interest–
– Antimicrobial Properties: Studies have found that cockroaches secrete powerful antimicrobial peptides that can kill dangerous bacteria like MRSA and E. coli without harming human cells.
– Anti-tumor Effects: Extracts from the American cockroach have shown potential anti-tumor effects in studies, possibly by inhibiting tumor growth.
– Wound Healing: The potential of cockroaches to accelerate wound healing is also a subject of scientific inquiry.

If we can shift out of killing animals to depending on farmed insects. Why not?
DJC_Reptiles
Yeah it’s disgusting but probably incredibly nutritious. We should all be eating more bugs, just maybe in a more appetizing way. Could save the world.

As of this moment, I no longer have confidence that my protein powder is what it says it is.

This is fine. Sustainable nutrition in a world that has a food insecurity issue

Roach protein! Gotta get those macros
sohereiamacrazyalien
look I would not drink it or eat it, but I don’t want to judge what other cultures eat. in several cultures insects have always been part of their diet. I would not call it stupid food .
that’s farmed obviously from the video.
snails are disgusting for some cultures, frogs, insects, rats , locust , 1000 year eggs, dried or fermented , jerky, sea urchin , yak milk or butter…. depending on the culture you are in some find it disgusting.

Don’t tell me what it is, don’t show me the process, mix it with some fruit flavours or chocolate or something, I likely wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
But showing it to me? I’m out.

Protein powder companies in shambles due to this one trick.

Most store bought ground coffee has bugs in it. Based on minimal research, the FDA allows no more than 10% of bugs in coffee.

[Best Ever Food Review Show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6zX-HWuE5o) did a bit on im pretty sure this same farm/guy. 70% of the roaches are ground up and used for medical applications/supplements and the rest are for makeup. They do deep fry them but it seems to be just for fun.
