  • Yeah, even visualization aside, I guess insects are not that interesting to cook compared to your usual animals. You probably won’t make yourself a “steak” from crickets alone. What is usually sold is flour. You can spread it on your salad to add proteins, or make burgers patties with them.
    I write all that as if I was an expert, but I honestly never tried it ^^. One day, probably.

    They are really expensive because no one is buying them but people who have time and money to spend on changing their habits.
    BUT! They are actually pretty cheap to raise yourself. Crickets can eat leftovers and parts of vegetable you sometimes don’t want to eat like potato peels. We used to do that to feed our lizards and spiders at home. I guess that preparing them for human consumption would be a bit longer (drying and grinding them, or whatever), but still much cheaper than store-bought meat.




  • You might not be aware of that, but there is what we call a “housing crisis” right now. There is not enough place to house everyone, and there are not enough construction sites to fix the problem rapidly considering the recent increase in population. It will take years to adjust. You can’t just make a bunch of apartments appear out of nowhere. Doesn’t matter the policy you apply to distribute them.
    And about social housing, yeah, everybody likes that. It’s more a matter of government inefficiency rather than a lack of will from the population.

    some would argue that eating honey is not immoral

    Sure.

    The point of going vegetarian or vegan is to aim at a reduction of animal suffering and environmental footprint. Not to starve by choice. Agriculture is still better than more agriculture needed to consume meat.
    What’s the problem exactly?

    And we have to respect the peanuts’ right to be everywhere, right?

    Peanuts and bees usually don’t invade your home. And if they did, some would argue it’s acceptable to get rid of them. I’m pretty sure you can figure this out.
