Cockroach Milk? Experts Call Insect Dairy The Next Superfood
cbs ^ | May 25, 2018 | staff

Scientists say they have discovered the next superfood that’s a perfect non-dairy alternative. However, they may have a hard time getting people to try cockroach milk. Using a 2016 report on the benefits of insect dairy, scientists found that the Pacific Beetle cockroach of Hawaii possesses nutrient-filled milk crystals, which they use to feed their young. “A single crystal is estimated to contain more than three times the energy of an equivalent mass of dairy milk,” the report stated... Some companies are already trying to get ahead of the trend by selling the bug juice in everything from milk to ice cream. “Think of Entomilk as a sustainable, nature-friendly, nutritious, lactose free, delicious, guilt-free dairy alternative of the future,” South African company Gourmet Grubb writes.

Teeny tiny milking machines? 50 bazillion roaches to produce a teaspoon of milk? Surely, this is a joke.

Dina Byrnes: I had no idea you could milk a cat!

Greg Focker: Oh, you can milk just about anything with nipples.

Jack Byrnes: [He reacts] I have nipples, Greg, could you milk me?

From their website:

What is Entomilk exactly?

The name Entomilk comes from the term entomophagy, which is the practice of eating insects. The milk is made from sustainably farmed insects. Needless to say, this is considered to be significantly more environmentally friendly than the traditional farming of dairy cows. One of the most pivotal benefits of entomilk is that it has a high protien content and is rich in mineral such as iron, zinc, and calcium. Think of Entomilk as a sustainable, nature-friendly, nutritious, lactose free, delicious, guilt-free dairy alternative of the future.

What? Not Satire?

It’s way too early in the morning for this kind of topic.
Now I need something nice to visualize and drive that thought away. Skydiving Lessons. That’s what I’ll ponder for a while. “I’m Free-Fallin’!”

I've read elsewhere that this is legit. Gross, but legit.

Adults have no business drinking any sort of milk, much less cockroach milk.

“Adults have no business drinking any sort of milk, much less cockroach milk.”

I make my fruit shakes with almond milk. How they milk an almond is beyond my comprehension.
