"Don’t Like Eating Insects? Your Pet Might."

"Could insect meal and lab-grown meat be a more sustainable, ethical way to feed our cats and dogs?"

I've had cricket snacks. They're not bad. If they could show good nutritional value, not missing any nutrients, I would definitely see if my cat would like it.

US pets consume approx 25% of all animal derived calories in the country.

And it would be an easier path to adoption.

I wrote about this a few weeks or so ago, but here's an update. Lab-grown meat from #Meatly for cat food, soon to be launched in the UK. May the rest of Europe follow 😊

Mehrere Firmen beschäftigen sich bereits mit der Entwicklung von #Tierfutter aus #Kulturfleisch. #Meatly (UK) konnte nun einen Durchbruch vermelden und gemeinsam mit der Firma #Omni die ersten Dosen seines neuen Katzenfutters produzieren. 👍😎🌱
