Like I said John the Baptist lived on locust and honey, so shellfish shells and crickets seem doeable for me, but some of the other bugs and things Asians eat no thanks!
Forcing it? I would think with all of the pesticides sprayed on everything and grasshoppers eating it that farmed would be the only way to go.
Yeah, but they're not going to make gigantic bug nets or anything just to catch "wild caught grasshoppers" anyways, maybe that's why they're trying to make gmo bugs.
This one is farmed in Oregan so no forcing is going on

Where are you getting they are GMO bugs?
I hardly think using something that is natural and grown for health purposes is dehumanizing. Catching it yourself might be.
Eating cricket powder and boiling crustacean shells is not being presented as a desperate idea for a thanksgiving meal, but as another way to get hard to find nowadays nutrition, like eating liver. I don't care for liver as much as I probably wont like crickets, but we do what we gotta do for good health and anti-aging. It beats plastic surgery and young blood transfusions :)
Ha! Right?!!I remember someone pronouncing this "SHITIN" in bio class
It's pronounced "KAI-TEN"
I dunno, people just think of the term bugmen and Chinese when they hear about them trying to force it, it just comes off as dehumanizing to some people. I wouldn't trust most typical farms for this sort of thing anyways. Someone else I saw on another site was going on about underwater bugs and people eating them being hypocrites, how he wasn't going to eat 'ze bugs'.
You have me lost. I have no idea what you are talking about.
I used to do that, but since I learn many things from my cats, I let them share some of that good stuff with me now.Those baby softshell crabs are great
My cat loves to eat the prawn shells and legs that I discard ?
If the desert had oases that served beer, he would have loved the locusts more, especially the deep-fried kind.
Just look up the Great Reset if you're lost, I don't blame you.
I am a tequila girl, but you are making fried crickets and beer sound like fun!
You are also more Peaty lol
Ohhh, you are upset about later?
Ok I pulled the trigger and ordered me up some crickets! I intend to just mix the powder in water a drink it down quick. The roasted crickets I figure we will have a little fun with them watching Naked & Afraid. Everytime they have to eat something like a bug, snake or lizzard the we will eat a couple crickets, with a tequila to get it down. Here is what I ordered!"One of many substances produced by plants in response to injury is chitinase, an enzyme that breaks down chitin, a polysaccharide that is a structural component of fungi and insects."
-Ray Peat
I have read many good things about the benefits of consuming crustacean shells. Besides being made of calcium carbonate it also contains chitin, which has many proven health benefits from kidney health to reducing inflammation in the body to even losing weight.
I have read that chitin from dust mites can cause lung problems and I would go so far as to say that possibly breathing in the steam from cooking the shells may be problematic, but I wouldn't think anymore than the toxic steam coming off the cooked mushrooms that Ray Peat warns of, and contains chitin.
Considering that nose to tail is a healthy, and that John The Baptist ate locusts, I am wondering if it may add or subtract to our health. I boil shrimp and crab shells, that I have frozen, for an hour or less and get the most flavorful stock to boil shrimp in for shrimp cocktail, to make crab, lobster or shrimp bisque, to make chowders or Asian soups or just to drink cold with a little coconut water & salt. I have even fried shrimp shells in coconut oil on high heat till crispy and throw in a little sugar and salt at the last minute for a yummy crispy kettle corn like snack.
With the world getting so precarious I don't mind looking outside of our normal supermarket food chain for other alternatives, and I don't want to think that my lobster bisque is not a good thing. Can you believe they sell cricket flour?
