Future of food: what's on the menu in 2050
Should insect protein become the dietary norm of the future, how will our descendants feel about our reactions to the first insect aisle in the local supermarket? Could we perhaps be the last generation to be seen as true meat eaters?

People will do anything to avoid going vegan lmao
Lab grown meat > bugs
No. Eating insects, spiders etc is utterly disgusting.
Yes its still disgusting. In reality, eating prawns and most shellfish in general is disgusting. If that thing lived on land we would not eat it. But it doesn't and we're used to it and it tastes really good, so we do it anyway.
I honestly can’t stomach the idea of eating insects, but I do love prawns! Looks like the two halves of my brain are sleeping in separate beds tonight.
I can’t eat them due to allergies. I’ve tried lobster and thought it was nothing to write home about. Luckily didn’t really react.
Clearly evolution has distinguished ’insects’ from ‘Aquatic Crustaceans’.
Yes I know. I was awkwardly separating them in my sentence knowing that some cultures (mistakenly) eat insects, and some (also mistakenly) eat spiders.
That is no excuse for either.
Maybe calling them Land Crustaceans might help sell them a bit more? How about shellveal or ground kippers?
Maybe “yummy cockroaches”?
I haven’t seen this movie sorry.
Pretty sure that’s from Snowpiercer
Mmmm McLocusts
I've never eaten bugs... but if they're cooked properly I'll give it a go. Might taste nice, wtf do I know?
Could you imagine if that was offered up in bread outside Bunnings in the future
Now summer is upon us you can sneak a wichetty grub under the hood of the Weber when nobody is looking
Mmmm, extra crunchy salad 🤌
