I've been following the story of the "insect farming" promise for years, on and off. It's the basis of the famous conspiracy minded carnist. The thing is that it hasn't panned out, as expected by those who understand the physics and biology. There's no free energy machine. And it is also animal farming.

The gimmick here is, as expected, the hope for subsidies like Big Meat already gets - directly and indirectly (such as the subsidies to grow feed). The pitfalls, as usual when dealing with waste and standards, are that "waste" tends to suck as a feed, so they end up buying feed while screaming that the government should deliver better waste.

Here's a nice report that's pro-industry and shows these hidden aspects:

So, of course, the "salvation tech" of insect farming just ends up as more animal feed ('proteic concentrates'), which is more of a waste than usual since it's adding *another layer of animals* to the artificial trophic levels of the animal farming sector.

There is no logical alternative to eating plants. Eat plants, don't eat animals.

And animal farming is animal farming. Enslaving these small sentient beings is not cool in of itself.
