Insect Burger

[Anonymous No.13417598]

How long before they start selling insect burgers? Cricket and mealworm powder is said to be a great source of protein. So far I haven't read any ill effects such as heart and cancer conditions that comes along with beef and meat or estrogen with soy burgers. Plus it uses much less water and space than cattle and crops. But I doubt if I would ever take the plunge.

I'd actually give it a try, see how it tastes. I'm curious about it, if you can make a decent tasting burger from that shit (decent by BK standards) it sounds pretty cool.

yeah, it just takes a media-driven cultural push and all of a sudden something that was considered disgusting can command a premium

[Anonymous No.13417740]

Never. Insects don’t have high enough estrogen content to make them useful for polluting the food supply.

I like the Impossible Whopper more than I thought I would so I'd try a bug one if it was said to have tasted alright too, why not?

Funny to think something like the impossible whopper would have failed 20 years ago, before the advent of social media and alternative marketing. McDonalds even tried a meat-free burger in the 1990s and it failed because gut instinct tells you a lab-grown burger patty is fucking nasty.

'people' that are willing to eat insects and other vermin should be fed to hogs.

if you'd eat an insect you have no moral compass and there's nothing you wouldn't do.

It failed because it tasted like shit. The newer fake meats are better.

Hey man, if the burger tastes good and won't kill me there's no reason not to. Impossible Whopper's alright so there's no reason to think this would be complete shit.

Bro they literally put dead babies in our food while the FDA keeps it mouth shut. Bugs are probably the last thing we have to worry about.

I'm sure restaurants already do this and at least one larger restaurant chain will probably release an insect protein item in the pretty near future. Doubt it'll be Burger King though. A lot riskier for the bigger chains to do insect items than vegetarian imitation meat items for the time being because bugs in your food is still commonly thought of as a sign of poor quality (e.g. the classic "fly in my soup" complaint). But after one major chain does it that'll probably go a long way towards eliminating that stigma for the rest of them.

Do you think people who eat fast food actually care what its made of?

This contrast is making me laugh

I doubt they will do that. Plant based protein, insect protein and lab grown protein are three different competitors looking to replace traditional meat, and the first one is by far the most economic right now partly due to it receiving government agricultural subsidies that the two do not.

I do not know the prices in U.S, but here in Finland, plant based protein goes for around 6 cents per gram, and cheapest chicken goes for around 4.5 cents per gram of protein.

Major chain might have a problem finding a steady supply though, as commercial insect farms are far and few, and growing the supply is capital intense.

yes there is. it's disgusting and wrong.

>>13417946

killing people when they commit degrading sins is just cleanliness, so its not immoral.

In what way?

[Anonymous No.13417999]

>>13417992

you're eating insects. insects are vermin and it's disgusting. if you'll do disgusting things like that, there's no limit to what else you'll do. if you'll eat insects, you'll rape, murder, steal, lie, cheat, poison, commit arson. it shows you have no self respect or inhibitions.

utterly disgusting.

I think I'd rather eat a bugburger than a soyburger. A conspiracy theorist could posit the veggieburger push is a tactic to people later embracing crickets and mealworms.
