Chicken is the future of meat, and you can't prove me otherwise.

If I cared about efficiency, I would've said insects were the future of meat.

>> No.9469521

Well yeah, some insects require very little space, feed and water, some more.
Look at this way, it has everything we'll need to satisfy our protein needs, he'll, insects have way better proteins than regular meat, but it'll take YEARS to make insects look appealing.

The only thing lobsters and insects have in common is that some insects have a homologous niche on land to the lobster's niche in water. And an exoskeleton I guess, but even with an exoskeleton they are really far removed from insects on the family tree. It's like saying eating fish is like eating rats of the sea because they're both vertebrates and eat almost anything they can.

Well shit, color me surprised. Though I don't know, pound for pound do they have a better return on investment? Sure cows take up more water and food, but we get a hundred pounds of meat from them, compared to maybe five.
I have no idea how much cows or chickens weigh.

Insects are also awesome in this regard.
Because they are soo different in terms of taxonomy, it's almost impossible for illnesses to be transmitted from insects to humans.

Consider the commenter mentioned return on investment, which the poster does not reference. Larger animals take less labor to feed and process for a given quantity of foodstuff, making for a possibly better overall cost.

I'm talking about insects that aren't OBVIOUSLY vectors, such as mealworms or crickets.
Are you really this dense? Never I implied that insects never have transmitted illnesses, I'm talking that about illnesses that affect insects can't be passed to humans.
