Ants are bad either. They taste like lemon drops.

The wealthy elites, both Democrats and Republicans, want us to eat bugs as well. They will eat whatever they want, but they will try to force bugs on us after our pets. They are demonic.

And honestly, do you really think your cat or dog is going to care where their food comes from?

My dog eats chicken poop....I don't think he'll care.

“More pets are eating insect-based food to fight climate change for their owners”

I encourage all pets given insect-base food to eat their owner.

Well now, I took comparative Anatomy in college.
Dogs are carnivores. Mine are eating food for carnivores.

Cool, you do you. My dog would eat her own vomit if I let her. I doubt she’s going to care if her food is insect-based.

You have missed my point. What is the energy footprint of producing enough insects to make pet food for millions of dogs and cats? Pet food is mostly made from the leftovers from animal ag in the first place. Is that now going to be fed to insects, which will then be fed to pets? How is adding an intermediary production step reduce either the carbon or energy footprint. What exactly are the insects being fed and where does it come from.

It sounds green and woke, but does it scale up?

It’s like the “feed cows seaweed to reduce cow belching and farting” that’s being touted. Except they never talk about how it effects milk production, nor about the costs of farming and processing seaweed into feed. There is literally no supply chain for this much ballyhooed product, but there is no there, there.

Greenies talk a lot of smack about agriculture, but they know squat about farming. Most of them want to impose communism for equity purposes.

Do you like starving?

Interesting article.

I wouldn't want to eat them, but apparently, they can be raised in a small area with little to feed them and give a large yield.

She may not. But God designed her to be a carnivore and eat meat. I guess you missed that in my first post.
Hint. If you think this is ok, what is your anus designed for?
Get it now??

I think it’s ok for you to feed your dog whatever you want, and I’ll feed my dog whatever I want, including insect-based dog foods if I so please.

“If you think this is ok, what is your anus designed for?”

I would rather not talk about my anus with random internet strangers, thanks.
