        Nah mate bugs are expensive. You know how much they charge for lobster at restaurants? Way more than dead cow.

          lobsters arent inherently expensive. they used to be fed to prisoners until the prisoners refused to eat them. you could start a bug farm in the room you’re in right now.

    If they’re able to turn it into a viable business then that’s a net positive for the world! Hope the funding pays off
